"'Listen to Little Red' is a delightful mix of punchy bass lines, catchy guitar and retro-stylish vocals - with an emphasis on the plural - which breathes fresh life into the cheery surf sounds of the Beach Boys, and the early upbeat bop of the Beatles." - Laneway Magazine
"If Peggy Sue fainted at her high school reunion and went back i time, chances are she's choose to 'Listen To Little Red' regardless of the era she wound up in..." - Bryget Chrisfield, Inpress
"The band has tapped a rich, lustrous vein of musical gold. They harness honey-voiced harmonies and set it to crackling beats and rhythms and dress it up sharper than Edward Scissorhand's handshake..." - fasterlouder.com.au
