Consequence Of Sound
Age isn’t a limiting factor on this record, but it’s a concept that informs the listening. A 14-year-old can come to the record and see themselves as they are now, while a 40-year-old can see how they were then. In that way, it’s a timeless work

The Guardian
They are anthemic and wild, a joyful rawness underpinned by frontman James Alex’s scratchy growl, which sounds as if it’s being transmitted from a concrete submarine base

Pretty Much Amazing
Age isn’t a distancing factor in this album; instead it unites. Despite the age difference between Alex and many of his teenage fans, he manages to tell their stories in a frank and believable way
