What the press have said:
Spearmint:
"Spearmint have just released their third, arguably most consistent
and best album to date, entitled 'My Missing Days'. It’s got talky
bits ('Left Alone Among the Living; Giving It Away'), straightforward
pop songs ('Don’t Get Me Started'), an instrumental ('My Missing
Days') male/female duets ('Time Is Now') a backwards running narrative,
a hidden track and ingenious lyrics. From the first listen, you
are presented with an album that appears to be almost perfect.
The Northern Soul energy of the forthcoming single 'Left Alone Among the
Living' merges the best bits of Belle & Sebastian with a touch of
Dobie Gray and manages to become one of the most life-affirmingly brilliant
pop records of recent years with repeat listening." - Drowned in
Sound review of My Missing Days
"The crucial thing about Spearmint is they have a clear idea of what they love and what they clearly hate (but often have to suffer in order to get by). Northern Soul, Paul Weller in the Jam and Style Council (but none of his solo albums), Pulp, Prince, Pure Pop and obscure indie references are all present and correct as they were on that classic single "Sweeping The Nation". It's like the band are living in Groundhog day, but that's fine because each time they live the same day over and over again they learn just that little bit more. And "My Missing Days" may just be the moment where Spearmint have truly found themselves." - Designer Magazine review of My Missing Days
Novillero:
"These guys have virtually mastered the perfect mix of edgy
noise and melody. They rock hard, but the keys, guitar melody
and singalong vocals turn it into pure ear candy. In addition, they stole
Rusty back from The Waking Eyes and the horn section from ska band JFK
And The Conspirators. Bonus points for covering The Supremes' "Someday
We'll Be Together" with an impressive amount of soul for a bunch
of white boys from the 'Peg." - Chartattack.com live review
"What first sounded like Montreal's The Dears on Prairie maneuvers then sounded like Pulp fronted by Paul Weller or the Style Council of Winnipeg... Everyone in this band deserves an honorary Brit-pop knightship. " - Broken Pencil review of The Brindleford Follies
