We're getting about like..

Getting lovely support from the lovely Tom Robinson on BBC 6Music. In case you missed our session for him you can hear it on our website here:
http://guessmen.co.uk/News%20etc/music-radio6.html
Mark Lamarr has been playing Animal Man Robot on his God's Jukebox show on BBC Radio 2 and most of the local BBC alternative show have been getting behind us.
Heres a list of some of the things that people have been saying about the record:
"If you like your music odd, you will appreciate this record. BFTB is slightly traumatic at times, but that is what makes it great. Music is a psychological experience. It SHOULD be fun, strange, dark and malevolent. Like a homicidal Hot Chip, The Guessmen will fuck you up! On the dancefloor! Aeow!" Subba-Cultcha.com
"absolutely wild!... passionate, energetic, gifted, committed, dangerous and full of life. You cant ask for more than that" Tom Robinson, BBC 6Music
"Guessmen are exuding a joy through this album despite its noir threads. With the continual shitstorm of disposable pop music continuously restarting itself, instead of remonstrating with it or taking shelter, Guessmen are punching their weight in tunes." brainwashed.com
"Delightfully woozy" Gideon Coe, BBC 6Music
"there is a whole lot of electro-psychedelic and jazz infused madness that give substance to the pop hooks and riffs that makes this record instantaneously catchy" allgigs.co.uk
"The trio keep things from getting predictable whilst simultaneously deploying the secret pop hooks that may just be the key to their whole sound. Nothing is ever the same twice, but BFTB still manages to hang together with enough identifiable cohesion to keep things from being on the wrong side of random. Neat trick, that." Rock-a-Rolla Magazine
"It's as if Guessmen have tried to stick as many sounds as possible on every song... why this band aren't as big as, say Klaxons, is genuinely beyond me" Sunday Sun
Thanks to everyone for the support so far!
Love, Guessmen!

Here is what some people have been saying about the album:
