“A bigger, bolder sounding record than its predecessor… There are shades of British glam rock in ‘Never In Style’, and the primal, melodic impressions of The Replacements and Elvis Costello & The Attractions pepper the nooks and crannies of the record overall. Above all, it sounds fun.”

“This is an album that doesn’t want to be boxed into one genre, to be honest, nor should it. It is filled with ambition, and Edkins isn’t going to limit himself anymore.”

“Edkins revels in magnetic hooks and brighter, sunny melodies, exploring explicitly an aspect of his songwriting that had previously been mostly implicit.”

“these are ultracatchy powerpop songs first and foremost, and really good ones at that. This is an album that would've fit right in with the '90s Halifax Pop Explosion that gave us Sloan, The Inbreds and Thrush Hermit.”

“a power pop fuelled journey through seven decades of alt-rock history. “

‘Weird Nightmare’ is Alex Edkins giving us an access all areas pass to his creative process. It’s an invite no-one should decline.

“an irresistibly euphoric blast of feedback spattered garage-pop that is just what the doctor ordered to chase away any lingering post-lockdown blues.”
