Reception
"Breadline" was a commended entry in the UK Songwriting Competition. It was was hailed in NARC Magazine by Steve Spithray as a "great... reworking of 60s garage" and likened it to both Alabama 3 and Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Michael O'Neill, also of NARC described "Sandy" as "A gloriously authentic slice of dusty, bluesy Americana... delivered in a phenomenal vocal performance... from a clearly talented bluesman." He also praised Brass Monkey's second single "Nowhere" as "an admirable home-spun slab of blues scuzz." Joe Dert of Verbz Up Magazine claimed it deserved to be on an action movie soundtrack.
Blog coverage has also been extremely positive:
