Press Reviews BLAG Magazine:- "I just had to turn the volume up...the production is excellant...the vocals are spot on...a worthy debut single which I suggest you buy." WhatsOn Magazine- "...Mocca this time plugging in (and hopefully borrowing the string section from Gramophone) to reveal the true Radiohead meets Jeff Buckley colours of Watching The Skies and Waiting For It All in their full majestic glory."Siren- "They entered the stage quietly,in a mist of full anticipation reminiscent of Pink Floyd and Radiohead.We all held our breath as they moved expertly from serene acoustic rhythms to rocking guitar riffs,with a cover of Crazy Horses so good they could claim to be the songwriters.My advice to all who have yet to taste the riches of Mocca, go now before they are snapped up by the sharks and banished from our stages forever" Birmingham Evening Mail:- "...rich melody and sharp lyrics one to watch for the future...blah blah"
