Stornoway
www.myspace.com/stornoway
"Stornoway are rapidly becoming one of Oxford's best bands without anyone noticing. It may be wonderfully crafted folk-pop, but it veers off on many tangents before coming back home. 'The Pupil Of Your Eye' is like a ride on an old boneshaker, there's delightful trumpet and cello playing, lovely harmonies and in new song 'Zorbing' one of the most gorgeous tunes I've heard in ages." RUSSELL'S REVIEWS, April 07
"...a fantastic and original vocal arrangement with superb tonality...all in all a superb song and well deserved number 1 position on TopoftheOx." TOPOFTHE OX, March 07
"Stornoway conjour up the innocent coziness of early Belle and Sebastian...Indie pop fans will melt in the brains, while everyone else will be amused by the photo of a donkey playing the drums on the back cover." ARTROCKER, March 07
"...like the Byrds gone psychotic...Oxford’s best-kept secret. I have a feeling they won’t be for much longer." OXFORDBANDS.COM, March 07
Foxes!

They cover such unexpected lyrical matter as the Jacobite rebellion, Spanish galleons and graveyards, all set to a twinkling jangle-pop soundtrack. - Ronan Munro, Nightshift Demo Of The Month, April 2007.
They won't be the preserve of Oxford for long. - NME, 25 November 2006.
There’s something touching and beautiful about this single, the warmth just spreads amongst us all! - Jeremy Chick, Subba-Cultcha on 46a Appleside Drive, November 2006.
I'd venture to say that they are probably the most exciting band I've ever come across solely because of myspace. Kayla Bell, Adam Bell, and Daniel Pacrami make some of the most refreshing indie pop I've heard in a while. - Skatterbrain, November, 2006
Foxes! could be marketable, with their slick, Pixies in anger management rock n roll. - Gigwise.com, October 2006
