"The Voom Blooms certainly made a big splash and left a lasting impression with their debut single Politics & Cigarettes, and the follow up well and truly keeps the party rockin. Anna comes on like a fresh sounding Strokes with a sing-a-long feel good chorus to die for. Over on the flip youll find the even better Models Of Soho which rides on a punky skank and eerie guitars...The Voom Blooms do exciting stuff, cant wait to hear their debut album" 5/5 - Update Magazine
