"From the off, his dark narratives and brooding observations bore all the hallmarks of someone with an original, intriuging voice..."

Colin Carberry, Hot Press Magazine

"There's every possibility that Robert Holmes might just write the next great scallydelic epic...""

Stuart Bailie, BBC Northern Ireland

"Looks like we just found ourselves the new Nick Cave. Stunning...""

Joe Lindsay, BBC Radio Ulster, Northern Ireland

"There is a definite debt here to the bloodied balladry of Americana mavericks such as Will Oldham and the Handsome Family..." AU Magazine

"'Amazing Graze' needs to be on some BandW arthouse film... or mebbe the soundtrack to some gritty Britflick made by Shane Meadows or sumpin'. It's a 3minute panoramic doom-pop track that'll knock you fer six! 'Hazard Hill' is another creeped out noirish track that is swamped in reverbs and effects with a great clunking beat, all sat 'neath the twang and righteous ire of Holmes. Man! This guy is good... real good... go check him out right now!...""
