The Repomen have received a glowing review in this month's Record Collector (April Issue, no.260) in their 'Singles Bar'. The review is nothing short of excellent saying:

"On this single,Gomez meet The Byrds meet The Buzzcocks (if such a hybrid could exist) and that's just the first track of this EP.......all of which makes this single as diverse as you could hope for from just one band. It's a very rewarding EP, so beg, borrow or steal it".
