"Mixing the sound of bands such as The Macabees and the finer moments of The Courteeners…the debut EP from the South London quartet is certainly one of the finest debuts of recent times." "The Stowaways are a lively, cool indie outfit who we’re chuffed to work with on FHM.com. We believe they’re set for a very promising future…" "The Stowaways deal in top-drawer melodies and all-round giddy charm. ‘Monroe’ is a surefire hit-in-waiting, illustrating just how effective the band have been in creating a new, refreshing brand of indiepop. Jamie’s vocals are as soulful as they are sincere, riding on a rhythm section whose ballsy groves provide the song with admirable depth."
