LIVERPOOL SOUND AND VISION
“Anarchy And Love is the harness in which we shackle reason, it toys with the possibilities of what could be if we could master the fire within when we feel overshadowed by the state and the urge to hold someone close; Anarchy is not always a bad thing, love is always a profound statement, put them together and you have a wondrous collection of songs in which to praise.”
