Journalists liked our album upon its release in the worrisome summer of 1978. Here are some nice bits:
"Irish album of the summer, packed to the brim with gorgeous,
singable tunes... There is nothing, absolutely nothing, like this
record in any other musical camp in the country." - HotPress.com
"A sparky little gem from Dublin's DIY leftfield... with a stinging
lyric sheet. Vocalist Pádraig Cooney is both wounded poet and cynical
dissector of modern mores and his sonic furnishings of clipped guitars
and wobbly eighties synths make for a smart, no-frills backdrop. A
hugely promising and highly recommended debut." - 4/5, RTE Guide
"This excellent debut delivers bang up to date, uncommonly smart
pop. Fresh melodies engage first, then fantastic lyrics kick in...
achingly sweet... the wonderful, self conscious love song The Black
Country easily lives up to the standard of Back on the Chain Gang, from
which it borrows its opening riff... perfectly formed collection" - 4/5, The Ticket (Irish Times)
"There are beautiful guitar hooks... the production is near perfect for what is essentially a home recording." - 4/5, The Sunday Tribune
"This is an album with catchy hooks, original lyrics and some moments of pure indie-pop." - The Event Guide
