UNDER THE WATERLINE
“With a production budget like Coldplay, the bittersweet ache of a song like Words, from this third album by local artists The Telltales, could give the Poms a run for their money.” Michael Smith, Drum Media, 18 Jul 2008
HAYMAKING
“Great melodies, intelligent playing, thoughtful arrangements and insightful lyrics—what more could you ask for in a pop record?” Michael Smith, Drum Media, 16 Mar 2005
THE TELLTALES
“… pure, heartfelt pop melodies delivered without a hint of anger or angst, simple songs of love and loss, pain and freedom ... a beautifully balanced collection of songs, intelligently arranged, subtly performed by a quartet that knows how to hold back ... This is very much a body of work, working in perfect harmony as such.” Michael Smith, Drum Media, 22 Jul 2003
