Here is what critics have to say about ‘An End Has A Start’ and ‘Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors’…

“This will be massive” - The Guardian

“Awesome in the true sense of the word.” - NME

“No smoke without fire.” - Daily Mirror (**** Single Review)

“Superior sophomore disc” - Spin

“From the bleakly anthemic lead single ‘Smokers Outside the Hospital Doors’ to the stirring ballad ‘The Weight of the World,’ Tom Smith's emotive vocals and the dense wall of guitars strike the perfect balance between moody, underground noise and more accessible, arena-bound rock.” - Billboard

"Perfect production and gravity...an impressive achievement" - The Sentimentalist

"A big, bold career-defining record" - Under The Radar

"Epic wall-of-sound" - CMJ

"Unabashedly grand" - The Onion

"Haunting melodies...that function more like muffled screams than overpowering wails" - Associated Press

“a gentler, dreamier atmosphere with less apparent anxiety ... a shadowy veil of sadness, shot through with hopeful transcendence.” - Uncut (**** Album Review)

“‘An End Has A Start’ actually sounds like it was created as ten quite individual chapters of a long-running saga ... A cohesive, flowing album” - Drowned In Sound (8 out of 10 Album Review)

“‘Somehow managing to be gloomy and uplifting at the same time, the Brummie quartet deserve a hit with this haunting anthem” - Sunday Mirror (**** Single Review)
