Press quotes about Superqueens

Q Magazine
“drawled acerbic verse … this debut is confrontational, intelligent and hauntingly visceral – a jaundiced, wry council estate poet waxing drily over minimalist keyboards and skittered turntable patterns… well-worth seeking out” (3 stars)

NME
“Spoken word worth talking about… atmospheric electronica and bitter monologues. …Conroy Harris’ black humour – “I play my lover’s body like sid vicious plays guitar / pretty vacantly” – and brooding anger give this reality check real style.” (7/10)

“… a true sense of gothic urbanism …at odds with today’s regimented conveyor belt of manufactured music. “it’s a bum deal at the arse end of art / nobody cares what’s in her / tough shit for the also rans / track marks for the winners / they can’t keep up with the twelve-year-olds / and they can’t keep down their dinners…” - dry observation and subterranean wisdom … stark commentaries and needle sharp detail.” (4.5/5)

John Peel (debut session broadcast sept 2004)

"there's been a lot of talk about this album and deservedly so… excellent!”

Rocksounds

“The downbeat future-grime poetry of Michael Conroy Harris recalls the work of John Cooper Clarke, but also brings to mind a calmer Mark E Smith or an artier Mike Skinner. It ain’t all about the words, however. Bruce Magill’s music is finely textured and highly apposite, skipping between hip-hop, ambient and electro-pop with remarkable ease. …driven by a sense of embittered discontent without becoming overly depressing. Check this out. (8/10)
