Press Quotes
Nicely done my friend! 'Little Tease' was my favorite. All tunes sounded straight from the early '60's. OK, which are Lennon-McCartney and which are Burtnik-Burger? I wont even venture a guess.
—Donnie Iris, Recording Artist
The Weeklings' new album is a step back in time to the heady days of Merseybeat in Liverpool, with echoes of The Beatles and The Searchers especially, with those chiming guitars and close harmonies. Some fantastic songs in the true sound of 1960s
—David Bedford, Liverpool Rock Historian
