"Rarely is a UK punk band as exhilaratingly competent as …And The Hangnails." NME

DIY Indie / Punk / 'Loud-as-fuck-guitar-pop' duo.

"...a wall of noise from one of the most respected bands from around York and North Yorkshire, this DIY punk duo rattle through songs at a rate of knots. There's no time to catch your breath really. With this raw power and anthemic choruses no wonder everyone's buzzing about them at the minute." ( BBC RADIO 1. Jericho Keys on the Huw Stephens Show).

“…And The Hangnails packed such a sucker punch on the night I was literally left gaping, open mouthed, and considering there is just two of them the sound scape that just explodes when these guys are on stage is just incredible. Blisteringly brilliant live. Check them out I urge you. They are truly incredible.” BBC Introducing

"Consistently brilliant adrenaline shots of 'loud-as-fuck-guitar-pop." Culturedvultures

"Absorb the video for feral cut 'Everybody's Luck'. Propulsive, unrelenting noise rock songwriting. The track finds Martyn Fillingham and Steven Reid on typically blood curdling form." CLASH Magazine
