"...enough innovation to keep the scene on its toes for another decade, genius!" - Single of the Month (Subba-Cultcha.com) "...new and challenging while still keeping a heart of pop." (R*E*P*E*A*T) "...a spangle-powered scuzz-pop gem of considerable charm!" (TrakMarx.com)"...pure pop without an inch of fat, but effortlessly cool at the same time." (Lobster Quadrille)
Snakes & Ladders Records are on the rise in their own right. "With great certainty one would expect to see much more of these bands and this label in the coming years." (Rough Trade). "|The kind of label we all need. Desperately. Eccentric and willful, they put out material that does not necessarily want to fit in with any current trend." (Artrocker), "...an excellent snapshot of the flourishing underground art-rock scene..." GIITTV "
The Total Drop also present on Resonance FM and the energetic joy of their live performance and their "abundance of catchy hooks and a voice of pure magnetism" is starting, deservedly, to get noticed.
