“Sugar coated sweetness wrapped up in barbed wire kisses... they deserve to be the next indie pin-ups” – vanity project “Lovely stuff... bands that have a confident, cool edge to them, without having to rely on style or image, are something that you don't see very often.” – thebeatsurrender.co.uk | |||

Over the next few years, they write some songs, play some gigs, record a single, write more songs, play more gigs and record their debut album, “Nobody Did Because Nobody Does”. Sid leaves to concentrate on writing folk songs. Wherewithal continue to write engaging, guitar-driven songs with a DIY ethic and poppy hooks. | |||
“Enthralling indie-rock spearheaded by melody-heavy pop sensibility” – thisisull.com “To imagine what their debut single ‘Sixth Form Poetry’ sounds like, you'll have to imagine Sophie Ellis-Bextor secretly videotaping a love-in between Elastica and Nicky Wire. ‘Lay The Blame’ is a great half-dreamy / half-damaged slow-burner and shows that they can also turn their hand to delicate post-rock.” – joyzine.co.uk | |||
