"Hooker are a gloriously brash Manchester based
unreconstructed punk outfit. They're a three piece and,
between them, are capable of kicking up no end of fuss. It's
very simple, but played with such enthusiasm that they will
win you over. Vocalist Zoe Mcveigh does a fine job at holding
it all together while thrashing out delightfully raw power
chords. Think of them as a sort of punked up 'Au Pairs' and
you're half way there. There's something primal about Hooker;
it's sparse yet powerful; the twin threads of bass and guitar,
both rattling away like marbles in a washing machine, combine
with the thudding drums to create something immediate and
almost beautiful. Hooker are the epitome of the modern punk
band; Short, sharp brutal and very good indeed."-CD Times
