Selected Kitten Press:

Strange Fruit:

"it's not the sort of thing we'd normally go for here at Strange Fruit, since there are clear traces of The Alarm, The Pixies and At The Drive In at work, but I have to admit I really like it ....... has a dangerously catchy air of Motorhead and it's so down and dirty and compelling that you can stuff your Limp Bizkits and your Linkin Parks and listen to a rock band that manage to be loud AND have tunes. For this is anthemic stuff indeed...... with forceful choruses and compelling jump-up-and-down moments. When they're focusing on making you dance around like you're 13 again, they're very good indeed"

Rhythm & Booze:

"....shows that the Stiff Kittens are superb songwriters and arrangers. The title track is a catchy pop rock number with gorgeous male/female harmonies on the huge chorus. Strawberry Hill is the kind of song that just begs to be on the radio it1s bright and breezy number that you can imagine playing at full blast down the motorway on a summer's day. Bound has the band on a more muscular trip with choppy guitars and rockier vocals, the sound of a band destined to be huge, it1s an anthem in the making. Bound has an air of the Cult ....... Stiff Kittens write the kind of songs that most of the current crop of Welsh bands can only dream about writing, you only need to listen to Strawberry Hill and Bound once and you're be hooked .... "

New Welsh Music:

" Nice chimes and distant guitar crashes, rich layers and a slow rolling chorus make this sound very good and highly professional...... influences from U2 to the Manics. Big riding guitars and space vocals, rousing chorus and pounding hooks. I like this one a lot, sounding like a an escapee from Bono's early songbook ....."

Rockzilla USA:

" As a bonus track, the Kittens have included an acoustic version of "Strawberry Hill" that shows a completely different side of the band. There is a bit of a John Lennon vibe about this passionate, melancholy version. Take away the British vocal lilt and this song will fit smack dab in the middle of the American Radio Dial. "

Local Press:

"STIFF KITTENS, the up and coming Welsh Rock act and, unbeknownst to security, the last band to play at Wembley Stadium, were recently confirmed as support for Feeder at this year's Ross International Festival ...... a joyous guitar-laden racket driven along by the heavy drums .... "you crush me" seems to have a Bluetones vibe to it, suggesting that the band are interested in more than just jumping on the Cool Cymru bandwagon, the Stiff Kittens desire to be "tomorrow's news" ....... professionalism and determination second to none"
