Kerrang! KKKK
"Light hearted eccentricity, pretty much an extinct species in this cynical image led rock Zeitgeist. Yet while the majority of bands studiously spend the majority of their efforts earnestly contemplating either their 'disease' or 'sickness', Sack Trick are concocting a concept work concerning a flock of moonward penguins.
