On the 7th July, weirdly we were
featured on another couple of podcasts....
if we kept our ratio of 2 a day, we'd be doing not bad...but sadly thats not the case, it's just a bit of a coincidence....
Justin Wayne featured us on episode 98 here (Oath of an old romantic)
and Sentric Music featured us on episode 7 here (song for the dead)

nice little comment on
Subba-cultcha.com found about Transitions....
'Belied by some very “metal” looking cover art, this is joyful and triumphant indie-rock anthemism just begging to have a lighter waved at it'

Rockmidgets.com review of Locking Doors
09/04/09 20:05
It's safe to say Jklmno are the first
band I have ever come across whose moniker is unpronounceable.
Tricky name aside, for anyone who was a Snow Patrol fan from the
days when you could turn up at Barfly on the night they were
playing and still get a ticket, this could be your lucky day.
'Locking Doors' will sound vaguely familiar, as it strongly holds
in a wide range of influences from the band, coming together to
make one hell of a summer festival song. '7 Days In The Sky' is
more of a single than the lead-off track, full of melodic spine
tingling hooks that would have made it a worthy contender for an
episode of the OC, with Carl Harrison's softly sung vocals pulling
at your heart strings from the word go. As the EP comes to a close,
the mellow swansong of 'Come Forth You Kings' leaves you wanting
more - as well driving yourself crazy trying to say their name so
you can run out and tell everyone you know about them.

RoomThirteen.com review of Benicassim
09/04/09 20:01
JKLMNO. No, I’m not reciting the
alphabet, that’s the name of the winning band in Supajam’s Fast
Track to Benicassim competition. The Wrexham based outfit triumphed
against 1’000 bands and from their early doors set it’s easy to see
why. An accidental collision of band member and equipment threatens
their start but it’s unusual to find an unsigned one showing this
much confidence.
Choruses build and pulsate, readily embracing the hope and candor that the likes of Snow Patrol and Sigur Ros possess with their endearing hits. The song they entered the competition with, The War Song, even pails in comparison to the rest of their set. In fact with a production gloss-over Nothing To Lose could easily become their singalong, arms aloft anthem. At one point it’s just lead singer Carl Harrison and the drummer Nick Roberts, stripping the sound down to its emotive bare bones. Harrison almost has the look of a budding Chris Martin at this point, concentrating on his keyboard before delivering sincerely soft lyrics.
It soon becomes a well rounded set. Gradually lulling the sound down with ornate feather-light guitar melodies leaving the lyrics to shine through whilst they aren’t afraid of ballsy, proud chords either. All this assured playing renders their complex name a paradox amongst such seemingly effortless songs. They end on a song entitled Future Potential, as if they needed to tell us.
