Press Reviews "Marwood aims to please, and does so incontestably. The male/female vocal duo is simply wonderful; they are both talented singers. The songs are smart and clever, displaying some devoted hours listening to The Beatles as well as modern Indie Rock. The changes are wonderful, especially the way the verses lead into the choruses.", Will Lerner, editor www.listen.com. "The sort of poppy boy/ girl songs Marwood play are nice", Melody Maker, 1999. "Liked it. How did you get Lou Reed to sing for you", Future Music, 1998.
