"Great stuff here...picture a mix of Belle and Sebastian and The Housemartins/Beautiful South. If you like either, you'll like this a good deal. Give it a shot. Catchy, fun and lighthearted for the most part, if you like the bands above, this is one you'll like the first time through."

Cool almost unknown Housemartins' clones

"I really like the stuff this band does, I'd recommend this band to all of you who liked the Housemartins, Billy Bragg, The Beautiful South. It's a very light album, and you can enjoy it on the first liste. As a reviewer pointed out, the first song is worth the album, but the rest is nice too. The guitar playing is very basic but also catchy, and the voice is very peculiar. They also remind me of the Violent Femmes at times, with the little and syncopated drum playing. If you like the band you can find more infos on them and on similar, almost unknown, aussie bands on candlerecords.com."

A tasty, witty pop opus.

"If you like wordplay and catchy, melodic guitar hooks, this album's for you. Smiths fans will enjoy the effortless riff on "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now" contained within "A Great Parker". "Untidy Towns" is worth the entire price of the album."
