Think Blondie going two rounds with the Throwing Muses on the edge of a cliff with a bracing English breeze whipping up skirts and causing mischief and you're still nowhere near capturing the band's distinctive sound and uniquely British charm.
"Santa Dog execute perfect pop" -Lost Music

Recent Setanta Records signees The Tacticians write songs of dangerous liaisons, temptation, failure, heartbreak and love in the big city influenced by The Kinks and early Costello. However, make no mistake, this is the sound of London 2007.

"They have a a real gift for penning uber-catchy tunes with just the right balance of punky and poppy overtones. Highly impressive. " - Tasty Fanzine
