Hot Press review God Says

Hot Press reviewed God Says in their 13th July 08 issue…
“‘God Says’ opens with a great meaty pounding guitar riff, before a measured pause for some Jesus & Mary Chain-lite vocals. After that, it’s a case of lather, rinse and repeat, no bad thing in this case, serving to reaffirm the listener’s faith in simple, sub-three-minute guitar pop. Top marks.” by Stephen Errity.

Hot Press review of Hot Air ep

Hot Press have published a nice review of Hot Air in singles section of their new issue - “Escape Act manage to harness the sound and energy of the decade’s (90s) alternative scene on their new ep. The upbeat and catchy melodies are engaging. This ep will stay in your head for days, but the tracks are so likeable that you won’t mind at all.” Meg Duffy.
