"The Favours have been the Fly writer's band of choice to bug me about of late and their indelible power-pop anthems are maybe why"
The Fly

"Explosive guitars, a tight rhythm section, rowdy rock songs with pop melodies, and a singer who sounds like Debbie Harry-gone-grunge mark the four-piece out as the best female-fronted band to emerge from Britain in years."
Lisa Verrico, The Times

"This band are so polished, so sharp, so blindingly brilliant that compared to them every other band here today are like kids playing in a dressing-up trunk."
Artrocker

"Sara Sanchez is an absolute star - a teenage witch who grunges her guitar and sings feisty great dollops of tune. A scraggy looking punchy rock band keep the airbrush perfection and rock chick posing down at ground level (almost). I'm gibbering by the end and dollar signs are spinning in front of my eyes like those old Donald Duck cartoons when the rich Uncle turns up. I find myself texting an A&R contact. Crazy or what?"
