The excellent Manchester based punk & ska zine TNS Records Zine included the following cool review of "Whatever Happened To The Likely Lad?" in their latest issue:

CARTOON VIOLENCE - WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE LIKELY LAD? (Do The Dog Music)
This is the debut release from Welsh 4 piece & 3 Minute Warning side project, Cartoon Violence. The presence of 3 Minute Warning keyboardist Chuzz is immediately obvious as the keys are such an important part of the band's sound.
There are undertones of 3MW in the sound, but this CD, particularly in the second half, is a bit darker. My personal favourites & perhaps the best showcases of this slightly dark edge are "Cartoon Violence" & "Rattlesnake".
There is a bit of variety on offer as the opening 2 tracks are much more pop biased than the later songs, with a bit of an indie feel in an Ordinary Boys sort of way or maybe even a bit of Chas 'N' Dave. But the whole offering definately has its roots in two tone ska.
Overall, although there are definately tracks which will stand out depending on how you prefer your ska to be delivered, this is certainly a very good debut CD, which i have been listening to a hell of a lot, so pick yourself up a copy for a bargain £7 from DTD.
