Some reviews:
“…The bass line drives up and down the song in a counter wave with the plinking lead guitar to create a fluid and buoyant song that is both uplifting and bright. Combine this with the harmonious warbling in the main body of the song and you emerge with an excellent summery track. There has never been a song written about such a cold subject (a ski trip) that feels so warm…Pure eccentric genius”
“It’s grim up North. Or is it? Manchester lads, The Mekkits! write music that makes good old Manc seem like Sunshiny L.A. The gloomy British weather and the claustrophobic streets give way to sunny climbs, vast open spaces and five boys with instruments cruising down Sunset Boulevard with the top down. So while you sit around freezing on a deck chair on Blackpool beach, the wind blowing your hair into your icecream, waiting for the sun to break through the clouds, get on a donkey, stick this on your i-pod, close your eyes and let The Mekkits be the soundtrack to your Baywatch fantasy of riding a beautiful, big white horse on the beaches of CaliforNIA! Only you'll have to put it on repeat and ride that donkey for miles until the sun returns or you'll end up back in Blighty faced with the sight of a fat old guy in Union Jack shorts offering to warm you up at his B&B. Brrrrr!!”
