Sep 18, 2019There's a lot to ponder while listening to Powers' dynamic and exuberant contours, coming from a band that's adapting to life's changes with piercing directness.
-
Sep 3, 2019It takes a lot of effort and maturity for a band to identify when things go wrong and make a decision to work it out. It's also a great relief when a band can come back from that kind of struggle with something as strong and potent as Powers.

MojoAug 27, 2019The moving Electric Shock incorporates joyous synths and Headcase is berserk thrash-pop brilliance. Dizzying closer, Mortals, meanwhile, might have been a Top 10 hit in the early '80s. [Oct 2019, p.86]

Aug 30, 2019The band rounds out the album with more familiar-sounding songs like "Stranger in a New Town" and "Good Night Out," but it's Powers' riskier, more revealing moments that prove the Futureheads have more to say than ever before.

-
Aug 27, 2019Powers hits more than it misses, and is a pleasure to have the Mackem lads back.
