I love the inventive descriptions that are banded round to describe us!  They are always welcome.

‘Over-Caffeinated Popsters’ is the term used for a nice little mention in Terrascope Rumbles.    To me though it conjures up an image of JLS after they’ve eaten too much sugar.

And yes… that is the picture they decided to feature next to us.  It definitely trumps our best band (crap) photos!

Happy new year to you all. We had a nice little break and we’ve been doing a bit of recording. In any case a couple of new reviews have come to our attention for Japan/Alive!

Organ
who aren’t the first reviewers to compare us with Roxy Music. (still not sure about that comparison, but it is complementary nonetheless!)

and

Mojophenia
who describe ‘Streets of Japan’ as ‘a homicidal killer of a track with triumphant Day-Glo intentions’. Not quite sure what that means, but it sounds pretty good!

So thank you both! Its a bit late for Xmas cards, but you never know…

Another good blog coverage of Japan/Alive! (Again not French)

Given that this is a blog that focuses exclusively on artists from London, it’s especially nice!

This wasn’t a blog that I personally followed before, but it is very very genuine and beautifully sweet:
