Sometimes you get lucky and a great band just pops up, like Spygenius... The band mashes together some diverse 60's and modern influences, in a very original way... Overall an outstanding album that is sure to hook you in and keep you humming. I will go out on a limb here and say this eclectic mix deserves a spot on our year end "best-of" list.

'They don't quite capture the dullness of Ramsgate...'

Wreckless Eric

'With uplifting harmonies carrying lyrics that tell of life in all its painful, hilarious complexity; spun about with chords and rhythms you didn't think could dance together, but once played, can never be separated again. Well, actually, that's their trick: true originality with instant accessibility, sublime songs you've not heard before but, at the back of your subconscious, you knew had to be out there somewhere. Want it simpler than that? All right guitar based pop music for anyone of any age who loves a real tune and lyrics with humour, feeling and truth.'

Lord Basil Voot

'Spygenius are an electric 4 piece band who use a 60s vocabulary to craft 21st century music with a postmodern twist.'

'How do you sum up this electric four piece from London and the Kent coast? Music for a Socratic disco? Jacques Brel translated by Eric Morcambe?'

Lord Basil Voot

'Take a lot of funk, some good old fashioned no-nonsense rock and mix in a little cheese-laden synth playing and you're close to the unique, energising sound of Spygenius. I mustn't forget to mention the excellent vocals that fit perfectly to this mix; something that's not easy to pull off, though when you analyse lyrics such as; "Jesus is alive on Pineapple Drive", all becomes clear! That's not to say all of the songs are quirky peices, songs such as 'A Bottle of Reds and Two Good Friends' are very warming with their calming sweet melodies and gentle vocals. The album is great for feeling good and my favourite song has to be 'The Ballard of Dr T F Bundy and his Hirsute Sweetheart' for it's simple funk-filled obscurity!'
