    An eclectic ragbag of influences coerced into great exciting guitar pop.

    There's nothing too complex or alienating about anything on this record; it is lowest-common denominator rock'n'roll painted in broad, primary coloured brushstrokes. [29 Jan 2005, p.57]

    "The Others" is no masterpiece, but it offers up a warm, beating heart where its rivals offer cold, cynical eyes.

    This promising debut proves they're proficient at penning ragged Buzzcocks-ish pop... but also exposes the limitations of [Masters]. [Feb 2005, p.79]

For all those who like some good new music (the middle class among them i dont pidgeonhole) this is one quality band. 'lackey' is ferocious and visceral, a corkscrew in the forehead of soft rockers, a sex pistols a like lyric and a riff and intensity onny and the boys couldnt match. 'this is for the poor' is a brooding anthem that could be sung by the queen (hell she could sing it at bill gates), while 'william' and 'stan bowles' are intense and uplifting anthems. A superb cd from a traiblazing new band… Full Review »

    Not bad....not great. People may hate Dominic's voice, and I can see why--even though I think it's quite interesting. This Not bad....not great.
