Press quotes about Superqueens:
Q Magazine
“drawled acerbic verse this debut is confrontational, intelligent and hauntingly visceral a jaundiced, wry council estate poet waxing drily over minimalist keyboards and skittered turntable patterns well-worth seeking out” (3 stars)
NME
“Spoken word worth talking about atmospheric electronica and bitter monologues. ‘Conroy Harris’ black humour I play my lover’s body like sid vicious plays guitar / pretty vacantly and brooding anger give this reality check real style.” (7/10)
Manchestermusic.co.uk
“a true sense of gothic urbanism at odds with today’s regimented conveyor belt of manufactured music. It’s a bum deal at the arse end of art / nobody cares what’s in her / tough shit for the also rans / track marks for the winners / they can’t keep up with the twelve-year-olds / and they can’t keep down their dinners – dry observation and subterranean wisdom stark commentaries and needle sharp detail.” (4.5/5)
John Peel (debut session broadcast sept 2004)
“there’s been a lot of talk about this album and deservedly so, excellent!”
Rocksounds
“The downbeat future-grime poetry of Michael Conroy Harris recalls the work of John Cooper Clarke, but also brings to mind a calmer Mark E Smith or an artier Mike Skinner. It ain’t all about the words, however. Bruce Magill’s music is finely textured and highly apposite, skipping between hip-hop, ambient and electro-pop with remarkable ease. Driven by a sense of embittered discontent without becoming overly depressing. Check this out.” (8/10)
