Press Reviews "Jeg synes mægtig godt om de to sange, for de bragte minetanker tilbage til de tidlige 70´ere og den britiske folkrock."Jan Poulsen, popshop Danmarks Radio P3 .......... "Helium (Sweden) are a four piece who say they're inspired by ABBA and Kiss. Fronted by a perky female lead singer who can also get serious, they play guitar-led rock with Celtic music lining its fringe. A bit like Roxette with a little more snarl and modern-day haircuts."
