Sounds Like

from the "live music highlights" preview of our cabaret voltaire rockshow on 30th march in the skinny:
"[...] With an impeccable grab bag of influences and a miraculously accessible romantic sensibility that sidesteps the vomit bag..."

also, the tremendous stu mchugh in the list magazine:
"The phrase 'guitar band' covers a multitude of sinners in the pop battleground. We Were Promised Jetpacks, apart from having the best name in showbiz, meet all other requirements necessary to lift them above their peers. Their live sets rip along at breakneck pace but somehow deliver a mini-anthem in every tune, merging Postcard and C86 jangle with full-on alt.rock."


that's all very nice, but we are not a dictatorship. it is only fair we show you that we are also not very good.

so here's something from lickmag.com...

"Hailing from Stirling, the starry-eyed sophomores were clearly deluded, attempting to juxtapose their varied but admirable musical influences with a sound that was as dispiriting as their city. If front man Adam Thompson tried as hard with his vocals as he did with his hair then they would at least have reached the starting block."

so there. ahh if only he practiced singing more.
Wow! we are from stirling!

I was going to ask you lot to come and see us lot on Monday 8th September at king tuts but I see you are on tour. That was inconsiderate of you, where's your sense of neighbourly duty?

Looking forward to Friday,

Gav
