On listening to Mono Life:

'I am on a Raleigh Chopper speeding without pedalling through the Nevada Desert. Handlebar tassels form DNA double helixes and in my wing mirrors I can see sherbet planets exploding. As I approach Vegas I see every building is my face unblinking with a fixed grin.'

'you are channelling john carpenter... filmic soundscape type stuffs a la assault on precinct 13... i am sure you know what i am talking about but you do darkness in a carpenter type way but you make it your own'

'It makes me want to drive my car through the window of JJB Sports'

"Then finally, after quite a few more beers had been served up by the well stocked bar's friendly staff, tonight's headliners took to the stage. Park and Ride always perform well and put on a good show, but sometimes front man Jonathan absolutely nails it; tonight was such a night. 
Park and Ride threw their collective hat into the political arena during the recent election campaign. They went out campaigning on the single issue that the world is turning bisexual. Whether they were for or against this apparent climate change in society was never quite clear but their anarchic actions created upsets in the councils' corridors of power. So much so, that they were forced to take down, the diamond shaped campaign posters that had been strategically placed in and around the city. ..> ..>
They even managed to get a few column inches in the local rag over the supposed copyright infringement; someone claimed that Park and Rides campaign logo was too similar to the Liberal Democrats one and this might lead to some confusion for the potential voters. "

"Then enter the stage tonight's great saviours; Hull's Park and Ride are young, fun and a little bit quirky. They manage to find some middle ground between Chas 'n' Dave, a heard of Russian Cossacks and an indie band. Their outstanding track: "Dressing Gown" is dedicated to the Landaus. It is a song that has more naanaanaas than the Kaiser Chiefs and a brit-pop era Blur put together. Then just when it seems to be falling into the trap of just being a little bit too repetitive it breaks down into some electronics."
- The Adelphi - Hull

"The excitement reaches astounding levels when the five cheeky chaps from Park and Ride arrive on stage. From nowhere a massive group of fans (I dub thee “Park and Riders”!) appear in front of the stage as if from nowhere, cheering and shouting like someone’s spiked the beer. When a band already has a dedicated crowd of fans following them around it’s bound to be something special. If there was ever a solution to those darn southerners then it’s Park and Ride, they have an instantly likable, laddish Northern swagger to them!"
- Sandman Magazine

"Finally headliners Park and Ride arrive on stage to close the evening's entertainment. I had heard a lot about this local group but never actually had the chance to see them for myself. From the word go there was an understanding why this band have gained quite a following. If a cover of the song Bad Guys, from the motion picture Bugsy Malone isn't enough to grab your attention, then nothing will. 
For some reason I felt that Park and Ride reminded me slightly (very slightly) of T-Rex. They've managed to link this rock 'n' roll sound and give it an almost folk rock edge, something that could perhaps be found on Greenday's Warning album."
