Press
The Roaring Twenties were reviewed in several underground music fanzines and magazines including ArtRocker, Maps (online), I Think You'll Find That's Fireworks (online), Lobster Quadrille and Antenna. The band also had tracks played on ArtRocker's weekly radio programme on London's Resonance FM and BBC Radio 1's Best of Unsigned programme with Huw Stephens.
"The Roaring Twenties are a strange mix of Gang of Four and Red Hot Chili Peppers' John Frusciante...their slow-burner of a set comprising three-minute pop gems."
"...with great certainty one would expect to hear a lot more from these bands and this label in the coming years."
"The Roaring Twenties...deliver a smart line in lo-fi post punk, coming across like an aggressive The Pop Group on A to Markworthy" "The Roaring Twenties...bring to mind much underrated Americans Moving Units with their elastic punk-funk sound"
