"Remma certainly stand out at the moment. They are one of the most compelling artists who have yet to release a debut album. What the band possess is a rare but natural talent for creating the kind of songs that match up to the long-forgotten notion of good music – music which, whether bringing upset or joy, will always be true to you."
