An amazing in-depth and insightful review of the album drops in the Eighth Day magazine from Alice Jones-Rodgers

“‘New Phase’ though is an album full of surprises; the biggest surprise of all being that for an album so firmly focused on the darker side of life, listening to it is never at any point an arduous experience due to the skilful manner in which its imaginative stories are told; each story being so brilliantly brought to life by the musical inventiveness of its participants; the humour that permeates it even when the subject matter is at its bleakest, and our sheer delirium at having heard an act here in 2024 getting to grips with issues that others are just too afraid to tackle. ‘New Phase’ presents such a rare display of complete individuality that it is difficult not to be absolutely enamoured with this album and the capabilities of its creators….”

Superb review drops today in Louder than War magazine by Robin Boardman. It concludes saying

“While this hopefully gives an inkling of the treasures waiting in store in the fantastical world of Percy, it’s highly recommended that you set aside forty minutes of your time with your favourite tipple and immerse yourself in this album from beginning to end – then do it again and again to allow the little nuggets of wisdom and edgy but uplifting beats (recorded largely as live) to infiltrate your brain. We all have different musical tastes, but New Phase is an album which has something for everyone, and you are strongly encouraged to share it with friends and family alike…. it will give them a whole new perspective on life for which, one day, they will definitely thank you….”

Our trip to Nottingham at the end of November will rate as one of our most favourite gigs of all time. Sold out show with 3 great bands and a great venue. Turns out LeftLion Magazine where there to review the night too….

“they were really, really good! Post Punk, Pop Punk, Punk Pop, Indie Punk, Post Indie Pop Punk…..forget the label, they put on a high energy and full speed ahead show that defied their 25+ years existence and still shouted out for attention. Songs about personal failings, depression hypochondria, spectrum disorders, you get the idea. Driving bass lines and solid drumming gave a foundation to the moody synth and angular guitar sounds, all wrapped up in a catchy punk pop formula that everyone in The Chameleon enjoyed….”
