Critical reception
The band was described by the NME as "a charming, funny and utterly real trio". Drowned in Sound gave their track "Song For Abba Tribute Record" an 8/10 describing it as a "downtrodden plea from a self-absorbed man with issues" by a "captivating and cutting band" of "ham-fisted gentlemen". The song was also described by the BBC's Collective as "the accidental 4am lovechild of eight bottles of £2.99 Merlot and a wheelbarrow full of Cutter’s Choice". Clash described their album Nursing Home as "brittle scuzzed-up grunge guitars...around a chirpy indie pop recital". ==Discography==
