SELECTED UK REVIEWS:

Outstanding sounds like The Birthday Party doing Johnny Cash.
Uncut Magazine reviewing Porous.

Where The Killers Run fulfils the promise these songs tap into American outlaw traditions of death and sorrow. A country-wired Echo & The Bunnymen.
Uncut Magazine reviewing Where The Killers Run. * * * *

A swooning blend of violins, mandolins, country death songs and Nick Cave vocals This is the sound of revenge. Served icy cold.
The Independent reviewing Where The Killers Run. * * * *

Superb its just so different. I loved it. Porous is in a category of its own.
Iain Banks on Mark Rileys 6 Music show. Porous was voted album of the week.

Dark and wonderful - this is a fabulous album and Viarosa really are doing something quite special.
Irish World reviewing Where The Killers Run.

Mightily impressive Country Noir above the benchmark of the rest of the genre
Americana UK reviewing Porous.

Uplifting and redemptive demanding of its listener but totally satisfying. An album to be treasured.
Penny Black Music - John Clarkson selects Where The Killers Run as Editors Choice.

Rich and inspiring My album of the year!
Comes With A Smile - Jane Oriel reviewing Where The Killers Run.

Simply stunning for fans of any honest, real music from American Music Club to Neil Young. It is not just a diamond in the rough, its a fucking diamond mine.
Alternative Nation - Charlie Parker reviewing Where The Killers Run.

Positively spellbinding never has isolation been phrased through song so elegantly evocative to the extreme Viarosas music is brilliant verging on the awesome.
Funky Mofo - Marty Drury reviewing Where The Killers Run.

Imagine if you will the bastard offspring of Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen who had been taught to play by Johnny Cash and had spent his Summer afternoons receiving singing lessons from Jim Morrison fronting a 21st century hybrid of Lindisfarne and The Doors, and youll start to get the picture Something tells me that these guys could be huge if given half a chance.
