Manchester Evening News article By David Sue - "a sonic mash-up between Kraftwerk, MGMT and Daft Punk... make up the militant analogue beast that is Shmoo...With electro austerity borrowed from Kraftwerk, jerky dancefloor thrills inspired by Daft Punk and head-frying psychedelics on loan from MGMT, their songs are a wonderful synthesis of clublands past and future"

Chimp Magazine - "The Newport Brothers, David and Neil... a mix of electronic synth pop... With an infectious eighties sound... Jarvis Cocker-esque vocal... You'll be singing it all day."

Shmoo Live BBC Introducing by Chris Long - "Launching themselves into a staggeringly energetic set from behind a bank of gizmos that would have pleased a junior Orbital, Shmoo mix mammoth dance, raw garage band and full-blown pop brilliantly."

www.clashmusic.com single review by Anna Wilson - "The Moog fiddling Manchester brothers are full of beans... Think Klaxons, think Air, think analogue in a big way.

Subba-Cultcha WAVES review by Jeremy Chick - "Electro pop with an airy vibe and mind swelling potential – some inspired production"
