HERE'S WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"THIS BAND HAS A TOUCH OF NIRVANESQUE GOING ON, SPRINKLED WITH LENNY KRAVITS MEET RED HOT CHILLI PEPPERS AND OOZING ASIAN DUB FOUNDATION CROSSING THE SPECIALS, BUT WITH FEMALE ATTITUDE, IT TOTALLY ROCKS****
‘CHECK IT OUT’, VALERIE MAXFIELD LAID DOWN HER VOCALS, THE SYNTHS RISE AND THE BAND GOT PRIMED, A STRIKE OF THE GUITAR UNLEASHING A FUSION OF A ROCK BAND, HEAVY R+B, TRANCE AND AT TIMES REGGAE. THE FIRST SONG ‘STUCK LIKE’ WAS SO GOOD THAT IT HURT, A HARDCORE INDIE ROCK BAND, BLESSED WITH MULTIPLE LAYERS ALL OF WHICH WERE PERFECT AND HARD HITTING THIS COMBINED WITH THE WIDEST RANGING VOCAL TALENT YOU’VE EVER HEARD FROM ONE PERSON.
THE SOUND WAS ONE NOTCH UNDER TOO MUCH, JUST RIGHT, THE CROWD COULDN’T TAKE THEIR EYES OF THIS BAND FROM THE START, THE VENUE BEGAN TO SHAKE, THE LUCKY CROWD WAS LISTENING TO THE MOST ORIGINAL SOUND IN BRITISH MUSIC IN THE PAST FEW YEARS, CLUB CRAWLERS AND GIG GOERS FOR ONCE LOVED AND MOVED TO THE SAME BAND AND JOINED TO CREATE AN ORGY OF LOVE FOR THIS NEW SOUND. -

"GREAT TUNE AND A UNIQUE MIX OF SOUNDS; A CHARGING ROCK BEAT WITH NIFTY SAMPLES AND A SEXY SOULFUL VOCAL... THINK CHAKA KHAN MEETS ALTHEA, DONNA AND LEMMY ON THE TRIP-HOP DANCEFLOOR, WITH EVERYONE IN MUTUAL ADMIRATION. RECORDED AT 160K, THIS JUST SHOWS WHAT QUALITY CAN BE PACKED INTO A SMALL, SMALL SPACE." -
19th March 2007 LEMONROCK review STUCKLIKE:
"FROM THE FIRST MIND-BENDING CHORD OF "STUCKLIKE",
OWN THE ROOM. THEY'RE MORE THAN JUST ACCOMPLISHED MUSICIANS AND THIS IS MORE THAN JUST FUNK, THOUGH THAT IS THE TEMPLATE FOR THEIR SOUND. THE GROOVY STUFF IS MIXED WITH BIG RIFFS AND TRIPPY EFFECTS, WHILE VALERIE COMMANDS THIS LITTLE SPACE IN STYLE, RAPPING WITH GUSTO AND SINGING WONDERFULLY. LIVE, THEIR SONGS MOVE YOUR ASS, FILL UP YOUR HEAD AND BRING A SMILE TO YOUR CHOPS, AND YOU CAN'T ASK FOR MORE THAN THAT, NOW CAN YOU?" --Stuart M the-mag.me.uk 12/07/2006 at 12 Bar Club
"
were utterly wonderful ... Not alone in having been taken by their performance that night. Am sure that offers of record deals and random physical encounters will flood in. How cool, you GUYS are stars" - Dean from Black Raven Music and Tourdates.co.uk 28.2.07 BORDERLINE
WHAT WORDS CAN ONE DESCRIBE AN AMAZING VORTEX OF SPINNING VIBRANT TUNES WITH SOULFUL THRILLS AND FUNKY RIFFS, COUPLED WITH AN ENERGETIC FEMALE VOCAL THAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A DIVA AS GOOD AS THE LIKES OF ARETHA FRANKLIN AND GLORIA GAYNOR...TO NAME BUT A FEW. CONSIDERING THAT STUCKLIKE IS MY FAVOURITE MAXFIELD TRACK...I WAS HOOKED. FROM THEN ON SONG AFTER SONG AFTER SONG WAS JUST SO AMAZING AND DAZZLING AND THE WHOLE SET JUST BLEW ME AWAY. --
