“Teasing LuLu combine a subtle blend of perfect pop and punchy punk. The all-girl three-piece push all the right buttons with sumptuously sublime songs such as ‘Don’t Wanna Be Your Waitress’, declaring their outright opposition to low wages and rewardless servile practises in the workplace. Jam-packed with rousing choruses and classic guitar hooks, the searing vocals of ‘Turned Out Nice Again’ will have you singing the praises of the teasing triplet all day long. If you catch one new Brighton band this year, make it Teasing LuLu”.
Lenny Detroit, Brighton Up (Fanzine)
