Some Words Of Wisdom:
...This is raw as hell, but it's got a great snarky, vitriolic energy to it. Love it. 4/5
- Dom Alessio, Triple J.
...Beat SINGLE Of The Week [15-12-10] 'SKINS' Nasty, nasty rock'n'roll from Melbourne band Clavians, so rough it'll strip the moisture out of your throat. Sounds like it was recorded in a very small room with metal walls, where singer/guitarist Aleksei and drummer "Mr. Ali" positioned themselves back to back and started screaming and shaking at walls, pounding at skins and shredding the strings with every nerve in their bodies. Awesome.
- Simone Ubaldi, Beat Magazine.
...Track 'SKINS' - TOP 10 SINGLES OF 2010 - as voted by Beat Magazine.
...Grungy vocals were backed by some incredible guitar work and impressive drumming, and had I not been watching the show, I could have easily been convinced that there were more than just two people on the stage. The songs were layered and interesting, and elicited more than a few cheers and impressed looks from the people in the crowd.
- Gareth Page, AU Review.
...they are pretty excellent. There may only be a four hands and four feet in this band, but they make a hell of a lot of decent noise. Middle Eastern inspired tuning choices, hypnotic post-punk beats and two-step goodness all mixed together in a shy two-piece wonder package.
- Paige X. Cho, Paper-Deer.
