Self In Fiction is a Mercury Music Prize winner in a fairer world.
- Cargo
Vocals that devour your defences and leave you admitting, yes this is a great pop record 4/5.
- Subba Cultcha
William are rousing jerk-rockers that should fill indie-disco floors very soon. - Drowned in Sound
Lurching between wall-of-sound frenzy and sweetly picked melody.
-Artrocker
Blending Pavement with heavier bands that still know their way around a good pop hook 8/10.
- Rocksound Magazine
Rhythmic, overdriven guitars, from one hook straight to the next... and it's decent stuff.
- Drowned In Sound
William create the impression of a young, up-and-coming indie punk band that would be a live revelation.
- Noize Makes Enemies
William deal in delicacy and dynamics, frontman Gavin Housley crossing the borders between the obsessional and the confessional with his surrealist lyrics and warped troubadour delivery.
- Rough Trade
By the end of the set, everybody in the room seemed completely fulfilled by an exceptionally dynamic and original band. - The Blue Light District
William have released two unassuming, unpretentious songs of great potential. Neither feel the need to beg out raucous hyperbole or ridiculous over-exaggeration, but simply deliver deftly executed guitar cacophony amongst well-played, catchy rhythm and bass. - God Is In The TV Zine
BACK CAT OFFER - £15 +P&P (comes with the album and both 7"s)
