"The musicianship on the record is undoubtedly at a high level, coupled with a sense of growth and progression rippling throughout the band that has seen the addition of new bassist, Brazilian-born Everton Barbato, with Melissa Marshall (synth/keys) and Tim Lucas (drums) completing the line-up. This chemistry has fed directly into the new album with twelve cohesive songs that are interesting, mature and personal." - CLASH Magazine
"gorgeously understated, precise but ambitious in scale, in the way Muse can be. They’re destined for stages and venues far larger than they’re currently playing"- Nightshift Magazine
"Four piece indie alt rockers Kanadia have been causing quite a stir in and around Oxford over the last year or so and the release of their debut self-titled E.P. took the industry by surprise with its vaulting ambition and epic scale. A band most definitely here to stay" - Common People
