"MAS may just be the saviours of indie that, let's face it, we've all been looking for ever since Britpop died a horrible death in the late 90's."

"Like bends-era Radiohead. There's enough intelligence at work here to ensure that they really could ultimately find themselves further along than the Betas."

"An Indie take on postrock. It's a vast, expansive piece of music that will carry you through a variety of emotions. If people are looking for something different from the current bombardment of 'new age indie' this may be perfect."
