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.
we’re really pleased to share this review with you, written by Mark from Losing Today
“Ridiculously smart turntable Tupperware it has to be said….Escape Act meld contagious power chord sensibilities with a deliciously contagious song craft that belies an unsurpassable flair for carving a honey honed hook or three”

David Roy of the Irish News writes: “Heaney is … a gifted songwriter, blessed with a voice that’s perfect for the kind of breezy indie guitar nuggets Escape Act have come up with… The band’s clear pop sensibility is front and centre with plenty of hooks and simple but effective melodies to latch onto.” (excerpt)
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.
AU, top NI music and lifestyle mag have given us a nice little review of ‘HOT AIR’ currently available in their May issue – ” A highly-professional package from artwork and the inclusion of some spiffy band stickers…but it’s the songs that ultimately impress the most…their sound recalls the likes of 90′s alt.rock titans Superchunk and Sugar with it’s driving, spindly indie-pop aesthetic, lyrical bite and melodies you’ll be humming by the second chorus”.
ATL have posted a nice wee review of our belfest gig where we provided “perhaps the first crowd hand-clapping moment of belFEST 2006″! http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/atl/review_specific33025.shtml
