“When they play live, they have allowed their exceptional songcraft to be revealed. It’s good to have these soul boys back”THE TELEGRAPH ****“A swagger akin to when their early shows were invitation-only gatherings of London’s trendiest”THE STANDARD ****“Blistering”THE TIMES ****“When (Steve) Norman stepped up front to blow his scripted sax break in "True," the crowd received it with the kind of shouts and applause New Yorkers always gave Clarence Clemons when he took his thundering-tenor spotlight in Madison Square Garden for Bruce Springsteen's "Jungleland." The ecstasy in the Albert Hall was that kind of loud.”ROLLING STONE“Despite having never understood the appeal of the New Romantics, I enjoyed the hell out of SOUL BOYS OF THE WESTERN WORLD. Gold!"MARK KERMODE
