BBC MANCHESTER - November 2006

Carlis Star don’t have such problems. Theirs is throwabout fun and their sound stays just the right side of chaos to be enjoyable.

Positioning their boy-girl lead vocals either side of a swirling dervish of a guitarist meant that concentration was pushed onto the whole band and their sound, rather than just the singer. They offered half an hour of joyous cacophony that sounded like an obscure jigsaw - apart it might not have made sense, together it was more than enough.
