"On the Outskirts deals, by turns wittily   and tenderly, with the minutiae of life, the overwhelmingly post-modern sense of ennui and how to deal with it."
Adam Horovitz


 "AST succeed in creating a powerful sound which is fresh, stirring and at times haunting."
James Davies (SNJ)

 "creative and innovative"....."playing guitar, laptop, synth & decks. This provides the core sound; pounding drum machine beats, combined with crunchy walls of distortion and angular electronic soundscapes."
UNSIGNED MAGAZINE (25/04/07)

"The soaring vocals of Lauren Candler and Buce fluctuate between an unstoppable wall of sound and delicate hymn - providing the perfect foil to the combative, evocative, and in parts political, lyrical assault of MCs Harry G and Mr Musn't."
James Davies (SNJ)
