"I love post apocalyptic, post nuclear, urban wasteland type scenarios me, all those great films from the sixties and seventies when the threat of a large mushroom cloud appearing over Balsall Heath was hanging over us, terrifying small children, creating deformities, big rats, queues for bread, and a time when CND seemed like a political force to be reckoned with. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S with their new brass section, dual vocals, raps and insane brand of genius are a soundtrack for the Mike Leigh remake."Nuclear winter in Stoke", I'd call it. The songs are the work of worryingly twisted minds and Pete plays his guitar with the arrogance of a GIANFRANCO ZOLA (ever heard him play?), Elaine has a great voice and the presence of Julie Walters and the rhythm section is painfully attack orientated. My favourite gigs end with the teenager next to you saying "what the fuck was that all about",  "quality dear boy"........

"White trash messiah's" NME

"Feisty and fun, they deliver cheek and humour, anger and restlessness to an agit-poppy soundtrack. Everything motors along superbly, sometimes in a Red Wedge Doc Martins kind of way, with the excellent Forever Blessed  the pick of the four sample tracks sent to Local Heroes. A tune that sticks in your head all day. If your John Peel golden years were in the 1980's then this is just the stuff". Local Heroes

"G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S sound like no one else, they're a punk tinged pop act with some of the catchiest songs you can ever hope to hear. With a perfect sound G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S are one of the most entertaining acts around " Marrs Bar

" When G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S took to the stage I was quite shocked at how good they were. They're not that easy to explain but they have punky elements along with bits of rock n roll all wrapped up in pop sensibilities. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S use both male and female vocals and they complement each other really well along with keyboards and guitar. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S have also written some bloody brilliant songs". Old Railway
