"The formative, pummeling rumbles of a new Welsh band who know that all the greatest sounds come from the heart, not just what has filtered through their souls from an iTunes library. Wicket flow. They'll bear you along in their eddies of sound, sweep you to vistas new, if you're prepared to jump in." - Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales
Wicket started as a University project between three music students in Cardiff, brought together by shared influences and a desire to bring music and visuals together in a live show. Wicket is: Raurie Allen 6'0", Spud Nash 6'0" and Danny Jaques "Shorter". A year on and Wicket still continue to perform regularly in Cardiff, Bristol and London area.

Mogwai, best band ever, known them since young team times and impressed with every album so far.
Seen them 3(?) times live in 3 different countries and missed them in pukkelpop in 1998. This set gives me the chills and reminds me of the gig at the Sse hydro in Glasgow. Don’t believe the Fife, Helicon 1 , Rano pano and Every country’s sun are my favourites. Mogwai gave a new meaning to loud, this goes through your spine and makes you smile (with pain later). jsheaven

By far my favourite album from RTLS. I knew it, as the whole band, through We Lost the Sea recommendation and now RTLS has become my favourite band, passing WLTS. rgv

Sleepmakeswaves is one of the best bands out there that blend ethereal tracks with other tracks with beautiful interlaced guitar playing, as if both players are feeding off of the energy of the other, creating a massive and powerful energy that cannot be stopped! This is one fantastic record, and is easily one you can put the whole album on and love every single song. Charlie Mayer

Just look at the song titles, and tell me this is not some deep psychological album reflecting the artist's mind. It has honesty, intensity, it's well polished and unless you have no memories, it will bring you back to some nice episodes of your life, whether you like it or not. Oliver Juan
