    It's identikit jangle so packed with perfectly poised personality that I find it hard to take it even vaguely seriously.

    Hayman's production has resulted in a noticeable evolution in the band's sound. Unlike the off-roading experience of their previous albums, Beer In The Brakers is an often much smoother ride.

    They fare best on delicate, forlorn ballads like Walk The Backstairs Quiet and Epping Forest--tales of suburban longing which are brave enough to include some quite splendid guitar solos. [Jun 2011, p100]

Les he visto un par de veces en conciertos, uno en sala y otro en un festival, y han estado muy bien. David Tattersall es un virtuoso de la guitarra. El único pero que le pongo a este grupo es que puede sonar repetitivo en cuanto a melodías entre sus muchas canciones (muchas, pese a los pocos años desde que apareció su primer disco "oficial", Instant Coffee Baby) .
