On paper, the Knives should certainly not be defined as being fashionable. Sporting NHS spectacles, ill-fitting charity shop suits and haircuts more fitting of retired World War Two pilots, The Young Knives quite frankly look odd... they live in the countryside, like gardening and stand out from their contemporaries by a country mile. So why on earth are Leicestershire's finest, increasingly deemed so fashionable? The Young Knives are
outsiders, they are the new anti-heroes: but most importantly, they deliver incredible, classic British pop songs. -Contact Music

NYC's the Postelles kick just enough modern cheek to their lyrics to undercut their perfectly sweet, '60s-inspired melodic pop. Their youthful urgency grabs you from the outset, playfully coaxing you into a world of snatched kisses and sneaked beers. Tightly constructed tunes rock socks from start to finish, and the boys play well beyond their years. (Leah, Viva-Radio)
