Vive Le Rock Awards 2023, Rebound UK Tour & Festivals
“It’s not just a high octane show, it’s like someone has taken a band and injected them with rocket fuel. Yet the most impressive thing is their control; even within individual songs they can go from quiet introspection to full on punk and back again without missing a beat …” SOUNDSPHERE
“An extremely talented and powerful frontwoman who displays an aura of empathy and support for every one of her fans. Their music has a huge social conscience; the band, as usual, are stunningly tight; and Millie’s range is phenomenal. If this band is not yet in your life, give your head a wobble and sort it out …” WITH JUST A HINT OF MAYHEM
