•    WWPJ were named as 1 of 5 ‘Bands To Watch’ in the Independent music magazine.
•    “Catchy melodies paired with super tight riffs” – Daily Star, "Rousing, sinewy, post- punk romp that crashes its way towards a Wedding Present-style duelling guitars denouement" – Guardian Guide, "Filled in with real invention" – *** Uncut, "Musically ambitious...An astonishingly impressive debut album" – **** The Fly, “Rocketeering knapsacks gain the stratosphere-tickling booster of an anthemic Clydeside chorus, and we have lift off” – NME, "An impeccable grab bag of influences and a miraculously accessible romantic sensibility that sidesteps the vomit bag." – Skinny,“ Their live sets rip along at breakneck pace but somehow deliver a mini-anthem in every tune, merging Postcard and C86 jangle with full-on alt.rock." – List.
