Captain Phoenix
Burrows is blessed with one of those huge voices that has you tracking back through pop history to Ray Davies, early Bowie, Paul Rodgers. Musically, too, they are all over the place - in the best sense: British pastoral pop meets folk-blues. Tracks such as their debut single, Living on the Guestlist, and the wonderful Loneliness are pointers to what should be a great future." - Sunday Times
"I can thoroughly recommend Captain Phoenix. I've heard some early demos. Hell of a singer, hell of a songwriter. Captain Phoenix, definitely one to watch." - BBC6Music
“..a glorious romance lurking in a lonely and futile tale of the underbelly of London’s indie-scene. Captain Phoenix are not weary, not whiny, not resentful: they turn this shitty scenester routine into truly beautiful pop-songs.” - GIGWISE
“A cheery, shimmering kind of Beatles, bit like John Lennon fronting the Stone Roses.” - Unpeeled
“Displaying a sense of maturity and enviable ease at carving memorable shots of melodically astute song craft, they show ample evidence of a band not only at ease with themselves but possessing the ability to concoct gems almost at will.” - Losing Today
