“Ghetto Amaretto play with style, confidence and a sense of exuberant joy at the very idea that they can make such a terrific noise” - Jackie Hayden of Hot Press...
“My writing turned into scribbles as I bopped and moved my feet along with funkiness... There was serious quality attached to this, I realised that I was not listening to just another band but a band that I would predict could go plac
