"Fucking Awesome!" Larry Love (Alabama 3)

"All three songs on this EP have brilliant titles: 'Pro-Celebrity Prostitution' is probably the best of the lot; you've got to give them points for these alone. Their tunes are quirky and interesting; dark pop with guitars and plenty of electro moments. They've already been spotted (deservedly so) by Steve Lamacq who played them on his 6Music, and The Fall, who asked them to support them live in London...Their tunes are really varied...It's all hugely likeable and excellent stuff." 11/13 Room Thirteen 

"Wow! Starts out like some remake of an eighties Softcell tune. Then grabs a further sense of urgency and disappears into a whirl of electro-futuro-synth rock. Interesting, detailed, peculiar, and hard-working. Fun." Vanguard 

"There's alot of imagination here, which has created a vibrant, refreshingly different sound...a wonderful E.P."

"I sincerely look forward to hearing an album, and...them doing some gigs a decent sized venues...They are undeniably a very interesting proposition." 4/5 Rockfeedback 

"Smart ideas...a good impression of OMD on crack and whizz whilst playing Pulp songs."
Manchester Music

"The closest thing we have to a house band... We love them. We love their strikingly quirky indierock and funny costumes. They recently supported The Fall. Steve Lamacq is a fan. They're great."

“SINGLE OF THE WEEK… I haven’t been able to take this off the deck the last few days, as all three songs are so smeggin’ ace…Opening track 'Never The Bridesmaid (Always The Bride)' is totally fantaberoonie itself, though the second track - 'Gap Kids Make Cracking Crack Whores' - is sheer genius, with Petra Suchankova’s metronomic drums providing the perfect base layer for the bleak Joy Division-esque rhythms, as…earnest vocals suggest that all children should be "branded at an early age"…And you’ve still got the punky racer that closes the EP, '9/11/73', which sounds like Ian Dury fronting Siouxsie and The Banshees.”

“…the best thing I heard in the [CD] pile.”
Steve Lamaqc, BBC Radio

“Hicks Milligan-Prophecy (When Icebergs Attack! EP)… must be liked for song-titles alone: 'Never The Bridesmaid (Always The Bride)' and 'Gap Kids Make Cracking Crack Whores'. Splendid. But hark! What’s this? Why, it’s the sound of a band mashing danceable post-punk influences with a bit of originality to go with it. Very, very dark pop. '9/11/73' is the Human League if the Human League hadn’t visited a cocktail bar and hadn’t had such a fear of guitars… Maaaaarvellous, as Mr Brittas would say.”
Drowned in Sound

“Mixing thumping guitar with the poppy sounds produced by the keyboardist…the balaclava wearing guitarist walks along the wall to get closer to the crowd and the singer leads a polka dance from the stage…the songs here are so damn catchy…their recent airplay on Steve Lamacq’s 6 music show justifying this.”
Gigwise

“This could well be the reincarnation of Ian Curtis. Admittedly it paints a more cheerful picture of the man – perhaps jamming with the Inspiral Carpets – but he’s unquestionably there. 10/10”

“…our least well kept secret of the year…a sharp witty take on electro indiepop...good for the dancefloor, good for the dancewhores...”

“Kooky, quirky, and very, very good.”

“A synth-pop Hives.”

“Utterly confusing. Extremely enjoyable.”

“Consummate entertainers.”
Dead or Alive

“An inspired mesh of early Manics and the Inspiral Carpets make for a great debut blast of indie-rock.”
