Some Details...

Listen and you'll hear, Pavement, the Cure and The Violent Femmes. Also plenty of Strokesy grindings and a pop harmonic approach recalling early Teenage Fanclub and The Wedding Present via Jarvis for loucheness & fantastic songs too." - Bugbear Bookings (Dublin Castle, Hope & Anchor)
