The Yellhounds continue to produce some of England's most endearing country rock. They sit somewhere Bob Dylan (“Fingers of Ice”) and traditional indie rock, but it’s the slightly broken, but confident vocals and the band’s superb sense of dynamics that makes The Yellhounds a little more special .
Even on record, their quiet bits sound very quiet and the crescendos literally ripple. It’s not just a volume thing, it’s the way they’ve managed to capture the real sound and nuances of live performance.
“Never Let You Go” is more upbeat in a drinking song kind of way and whilst the shuffling opening track “Going To The Carnival (To Get Some Sleep)” is far pacier, choosing some slower tracks for the remainder of this EP has been a good choice too - Manchester Music

You simply cannot fault their truck-stop rock stompers - MusicDash.co.uk

Their brand of Americana is totally accessible; fast, catchy, bouncy and joyously expressive - BBC Introducing

Brendan Cartwright's vocals excel when the tone of the band is lowered, and I honestly could've mistaken the band for Ryan Adams and the Cardinals if I didn't already know who I was listening to –Sandman Magazine

'Got No Place To Go' is an impish, Springsteen-inspired drinking song, with all the structural fireworks of a well-produced Kirsty McCall track. 'The MTV Blues' is an illustrious romper-stomper, worthy of such an imperious term. The lead guitar very much from the book of Stevie Ray Vaughn. The closer, 'Ain't Got No Home' is a full-on party track with an Irish gypsy backing band - www.the-mag.me.uk
