Cuddly Shark out now on Armellodie Records:
“…everything from Pavement to Pixies, Stooges to Cramps, rockabilly to straight-edge. It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you’re going – and Cuddly Shark have gone and made a cracking debut.”
The Skinny
“…more high-quality, low-fidelity punches against the seemingly-endless tide of bland tripe most iTunes store zombies seem more than happy to fork out for.”
Die Shellsuit Die! Magazine
“This is an album of melodic, post-punk guitar confrontations, interspersed with tongue-in-cheek country influences.”

The Sheriff Of Aspen Bay out now on Armellodie Records:
“…stupendously and effortlessly cool, chock full of choice swearing, manic shrieking, offbeat chug-a-lug riffing, time changes, Led Zep baiting and much more”
The List (Single of the week)
“More devastating than the Futureheads at their most brutal, Cuddly Shark are unhinged,
exciting and best of all they match McClusky when it comes to manic vocal delivery.”
Subba-Cultcha (Single of the month)
“This band is a breath of fresh air from a pissed-up dragon. I don’t know what it is, but whatever it is, they’ve got it. Long may they retain it, ‘ken.”
Die Shellsuit Die
“…the vibrancy and immediacy of a bag of angry wasps. Think The Sex Pistols meet Biffy Clyro and throw a few Zeppelin riffs into the chaos and you won’t be far wide of the mark.”
Get Ready To Rock

Woody Woodpecker/Bowl of Cherries out now on Armellodie Records:
“Raucous – a sonic fit of standing on your toes and singing right in to your face”
Organ Magazine (Single-of-the-Week)
“…will induce all sorts of compulsive body movements on the dance-floor. 2009 – The Year Of The Shark! 5/5″
Is This Music?
“…this is proper Glaswegian art school hillbilly punk with a razor edge. Excellent with a Pixies like donkey kick.”
New Noise
“…like Victor Meldrew bellowing “Donald! Where’s you’re FUCKING troosers now, eh??” whilst dancing off his face to Duane Eddy on New Year’s Eve, and ends up with a riff other bands would suck their own managers dry for.”

The Punisher of IV30 out now on Armellodie Records
“…like Birthday Party being thrown down some stairs with Wire, it definitely warrants your attention now”
Subba-Cultcha (Single of the Month)
“…the punk strut of The Stooges, The Cure and The Cramps…the musical expanse of Fugazi and the humour of early Roxy Music”
Daily Record
“…do-it-yourself White Stripes-style rock, experimental punk and rye Scottish humour” Playing Out Loud
“…what Young Knives would have sounded like if they had traded geekdom for good old fashioned fist fighting as children”
