"Opening with the anthemic “…And Now You’re Old Enough, I Think That You Should Know”, Sugar Army’s Where Do You Hide Your Toys EP is the sonic eclecticism of dance rock done right for once. The label doesn’t do their sound justice though – the West Australian four piece are at home channeling anything from the Cure and QOTSA to Muse, with vocalist Patrick Mclaughlin’s distinctive pipes cutting over gritty riffs and leading unfailingly into shout-along choruses almost guaranteed to make Sugar Army a killer live act. “Jigsaw” is discordant and layered with jangly guitars and falsetto while “Maybe The Boy Who Cried Wolf Was Just Paranoid” is the sleeper, with a dirty driving rhythm, weird choral overdubs and brilliant percussion. The other half of the album, please – and soon."
"These Perth boys are something else. Talent laid on so thick it drips from their blessed little fingertips, out-shining every post-punk synth pop pretender across this wide brown land. Take Tongues In Cheeks, for example: a graceful little wind-up then a firestorm of fractious beats, fervent vocals and lean Gen Y lyrics, all perfectly balanced despite their speed. It’s perfect pop, and they arc it up a notch in the chorus for surefire dance floor mania. Five glittering stars."
