Paul Jackson - Fatea Records UK- "Country music is a very broad church these days, particularly when you think of acts like Chris Stapleton and Sturgill Simpson, so it's great to get others coming along to push the boundaries further. Solid songs, great performances from the band and crisp production make Amateur Revolution a fine record indeed."
