About Me |
|
| "Like a grittier Lorretta Lynn, she's from the wrong side of the tracks. Uncouthly ace" - NME.... "Calling all you hippies, shroom bunnnies and purple ohmies. A new sound has come. If you're down and in trouble and you need a helping hand, Gemma Ray has come to share your despair; she will sing you better as she knows just how you feel. She is a people's poet, this is truly excellent music. Drawing everything from Bjork to Pink Floyd to Sam Brown to The Mars Volta. This is essential listening. 4/5 stars." - Neil Simpson, Spill Magazine.... "Imagine if you will Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds fronted by Lorretta Lynne, then I may have painted an outline of this band's sound. "From the Teeth" is brooding, dark and menacing. The textured bluesy instrumentation is breathed into whirling life by Gemma's fantastically expressive and powerful vocals..." - www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk. design by THE P!NCH |
