What the Press Say
“Vocalist Anna Page has a fey, Tanya Donelly type approach to singing, juxtaposed with aggressive lines like, Don’t try to tell me that everything’s fine or Ill kill you I swear. Fast or slow, these songs are melodic and catchy without resorting to indie cliché.”(Making Music Magazine)
“These women know what they’re doing: the pop suss of the Undertones or the Buzzcocks tied to the feminist ethics of The Au Pairs. All men are bastards and so is the beauty industry: two songs to make you weep and dance at the same time. Superb” (Record Collector review)
“Those of us who saw Anna’s early Kashmir Klub appearance on a Friday evening will have marked her out immediately as One To Watch. Her songs and persona are refreshingly honest and bullshit free, while her self-deprecating asides are a front for some pungent and pertinent observations about life. Ecstasy is a perfect illustration, Anna effortlessly skewering the misogynist ego with a raised eyebrow and unambiguous language. Already Autumn is just a great song about the fear that life’s passing you by, while After It Happens is the best song about meaningless sex I’ve heard in ages. Hungover Morning speaks for itself, exemplifying the truism that there’s many a true word spoken in jest. Anna Page has talent and star quality to burn, remember where you saw her first!” (Kashmir Klub live review)
