QUOTES:
"In short, if you like folk and folk punk, this is a brilliant piece of it, by one of our better singer-songwriters (i.e. one who actually has something worth saying)" - The 405 review of album "Despite the Blackout" (7/10)

With his musical cohorts, stomped his way through an Irish folk flavoured set of post punk songs that would surely have won the approval of Joe Strummer", - Bluesbunny

"If Gaslight Anthem got in a fight with Against Me! at a folk festival" - Wesley Shearer, Scotscribbler

"songs that are too melodic to be the traditional, if not literal definition of punk, but too ramshackle for the folk circuit." - Lisa-Marie Ferla, Last Years Girl
