"With a clutch of impressive and well-crafted songs under their belt... it wouldn’t be surprising if the pair were one of the bands to break through at this year’s Evo Emerging festival."

Thanks to Eugenie Johnson for reviewing our Head of Steam gig on the 18th April. You can read the words that she wrote about it here: http://narcmagazine.com/live-review-what-we-call-progress-emiles-telegraphic-transmission-device-therunningchelsea-worry-party-head-of-steam-newcastle-18-04-15/ The beats are simple but not boring, the synths brooding and melancholic and John’s electric guitar adds another, almost indie dimension that separates them slightly from the masses. With a clutch of impressive and well-crafted songs under their belt, including recent single Pack of Cards, it wouldn’t be surprising if the pair were one of the bands to break through at this year’s Evo Emerging festival.
