UK Indie Chart #1 [Charts Plus issue 358] )Reviews
'Sukie make jangly retro-pop which sounds like The Cribs without the bloodshed - hook laden debut single 'Pink-A-Pade' is a larynx shredding hip-swiveling indie stomp-a-thon.'
The Fly (magazine) 'These guys remind me of
The Strokes , but with better tunes and songs which make you want to get up off your chair and dance.' Street Voice'Artfully done indie that moves along with some crunchy licks and vocal blurts. Lyrically they're a great and jaunty affair.' Jumbo Records
'Another indie-pop band' BBC Weekender Site
