4 out of 5 – “With more hooks than an abattoir and slab upon slab of bristling melodies, most strikingly on Corpses Candle and Kings Have Fallen, Loosely Based On Fiction is indie rock in excelsis.” – Hot Press review of Loosely Based On Fiction

17 Seconds on Broken Chin – “Rather like the Strokes, here is a band who have realised that less is definitely more. Pure punky joy.”

Devil Has The Best Tuna – “They effortlessly straddle the jangling, punkish new wave of The Undertones and Stiff Little Fingers (‘God Says’, ‘Laid Open’ and ‘Jupiter Storms’) and the more melodic harmonies Irish Americana (Irishcana?) of The Thrills (‘Broken Chin’ and ‘Sullied Behave For The Moon’). ”

Corpses Candle … reminds us of the indie majesty of Whipping Boy’s Heartworm” State.ie blog

“…a blistering burst of Undertones punk guitar and Morrisseyesque vocal that’ll have you jumping round the room like a kangeroo on a pogo stick.” Devil Has the Best Tuna on God Says

Losing Today review of God Says ‘A thumping pop rocket that demands the hitting of the replay button’ ‘ crystalline power chords and dashed with a fuzzing west coast glow’

mp3hugger review of Hot Air “Spiralling guitars, neat melodic vocals and pounding rhythms come together to create a burst of exhilarating noise… Escape Act have initiated their shimmering assault on the masses May 07

Hot Press review of Hot Air – “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 – April 07.

AU April ’07 review of Hot Air – “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”. April 07.

Irish News review of Hot Air “plenty of hooks and simple but effective melodies David Roy – April 07
