What the critics are saying:

"This LP is both an anchor and a Pole Star; one that reminds us of who we were, what we are, and can be still, and lights the way to all those possible, potential, and beautiful futures.” - Norry Wilson, The Drouth

“An amazing working-class punk history of the city of Glasgow” - Jason Crane, Radio 106.1 The Corner, Charlottesville, USA

“Stunning walk across the rooftops of the Dear Green Place … A record of rare quality” - Joe Whyte, Vive Le Rock

“In a year of excellent albums, this delightfully thought-provoking album holds its own, and is easily a contender for album of the year.” - The Ginger Quiff

“Probably the most mind-expanding album of 2024.” - Gus Ironside, Is this Music?

“The next time someone comes along with that old story that politics and music don’t mix, give this album to the idiot in question” - Ricardo Schott, Pop Fantasma, Brazil

“In The Tenementals, Glasgow has found a worthy chronicler of its past, present and future.” - Frances Curran, Znetwork.org
