    Punchy, purposeful and convincingly contemporary, it’s frequently spiced-up with exhilarating examples of the band’s trademark, Television-esque guitar duels.

    From tension-riddled songs like Two Places to the instrumental Outromistra (EM Forster with guitars), this is a confident and exciting high for the band, at a time when most bands of their era are looking for their reading glasses.

    Their jangly, soulful, melodic take on punk-pop still has freshness and urgency. [Nov 2015, p.80]

    The County Durham punks' first in 36 years is suitably grown-up if a little underwhelming. [Nov 2015, p.96]
