MojoSep 19, 2013It's nigh impossible not to succumb to their hurtling energy and panache. [Oct 2013, p.94]
-
Sep 9, 2013It’s one dizzying burst of energy after another.
-
Sep 16, 2013Snapshot might be more successful at reassuring rock fans of a certain age that some young people find sounds three or four times older than them exciting than it is at getting kids excited about bluesy rock.

Sep 9, 2013Snapshot is more derivative than what is is supposed to be an alternative to.
-
Sep 4, 2013Their debut is just minute after minute of hollow pandering.
