REVIEWS:
"frightfully young and full of energy this is the cast of skins, playing The Specials in the style of King Prawn! Its like listen to all the music from the last 30 years condensed into 3 minutes and I f*cking love it!" - Martin Hobby
"These guys are no dinosaurs, their mixture of ska with its syncopated jangling guitar, strident brass,great bass lines blended with dirtier punk fuelled guitar and rap style vocals make for a very pleasurable listening experience. They play with great energy and have fun doing it! Brilliant!" - studsandpunks.com
"Tyrannosaurus Alan are an eclectic 7 piece from South London, bringing together a beautiful array of ska, punk, reggae and hip hop to create a sound somewhere between classic Capdown, Dizzee Rascal and Sonic Boom Six. It's all done with a shit load of energy and passion and fantastic musicianship, with big brass and vocal hooks." - skamutiny.com
"Starting off like a ska version of Mancini’s Pink Panther theme, it evolves into a slab of guitar hop – all Sham 69 on Jamie T’s beat whilst Capdown look on." Gill Mills (NME/ Best Of Myspace) On 'Bombard The BBC.'
"here’s a notice to you all: the band’s album, ‘Campaign’ (picked up tonight), is storming. It’s skacore with a wit and intelligence, and just a bloody big sound, and it’s very reminiscent of tonight’s headliner. This band will be followed closely next year."
"the band (sans singer) captivate the late-afternoon Underworld audience with a set that’s anchored in the heavier realms of ska-core. As with the best bands in the genre, T-Alan are adept at mixing up their sound, throwing grime-esque vocals into a fierce onslaught" - Punktastic
