"With a killer collection of pop songs and tap dancing routines to their name, Conor Oberst's favourite five-piece have set their sights on the UK. Going by these ten tracks there's litttle doubt their eccentric vision will charm all those who cross their path" [Dazed and Confused]

"Despite its wealth of scintillating melodies and folk-pop harmonies, Wiild Like Children's palpitating heart is Nights of The Living Dead, a life or death rallying cry, propelled by the martial clatter of Jamie's tap shoes, that's as stridently moving as The Arcade Fire's Wake Up" [The Guardian: Dorian Lynskey]

"Clearly The Great Nebraskan drummer drought of 2006 has reached cataclysmic proportions, forcing Omaha's girl-heavy alt. pop combo Tilly and The Wall to employ - we shit you not- a tap dancer to provide the beats. Which should make them sound like School of Rock set in The Italia Conti Academy of Theatre Arts but they're completely oblivious to the jazz handed Roy Castleness of the situation and instead have written stonkingly brilliant Magnetic Fieldsian electro-acoustic pop songs along to him/her. 'Fell Down The Stairs' is The Hidden Cameras playing at an audition for the new lead in Annie. 'Nights of The Living Dead' is a lo-fi born slippy being savagely rogered by a 'Stoned and De-Throned'-era Jesus and Mary Chain and the whole shebang has a sumptious yet frazzled air like The Breeders with the mother of all voddie hangovers. Hits and Teeth, girls. Hits and Teeth" [Mark Beaumont in NME]

"The Album bursts with a giddy euphoria to outshine The Polyphonic Spree, along with winsome co-ed choruses and shrewd lyrical barbs. their exubertance alone provides more than a few kicks" [April Long in Uncut]
