"Street punk, toasting, trombones, trumpets and slices of Dub War franticness, Asian Dub Foundation street suss. Prodigy dance and bounce in there with the spongy dub and all the hyper council-estate-exploding confrontation." - Organ Magazine. "It's surprising how quickly this band can go from attempting to force a crack pipe through your ear canal, to chilled-out intelligent dub ska instrumental, and back again." - http://happyskanking.blogspot.com Just when it's got you by the balls and you wonder if the rhymes could get any quicker of the bass line any heavier than the fat bastard that it is - it all stops dead...and you think... "THATS FUCKING BRILLIANT!" If this band cannot make you dance then you, sunshine, don't deserve to have any feet." - The Rhubarb Bomb "Intense throughout and yet totally enjoyable from start to finish - an amazing mix that makes the listener sit up and take note - finally a ska band that doesn't succeed in proving the cliché's right! Genius!" - www.subba-culcha.com Live Reviews "I can imagine this band lifting the atmosphere of a tea party into a rave.... There isn't much else to say about this band, just go and see them, now." - Leedsmusicscene "CHINA SHOP BULL rocked everyone's socks" - Northern Echo "If you havent seen em then you flipping well should" - No-Title magazine.
