Luva Anna are the opposite to the neon-clad scensters making music to be forgotten as soon as its aired. A band to truly look out for...
- Clash Magazine
The pick of the new bands on the smaller stages at Connect Festival...their salty sea-shanties have more in common with The Coral. Definitely ones to watch...
- NME
...a band that were born to do festivals... - Jim Gellatly, XFM
...vibrant musicality and innate sense of melody means they will be known for a long time to come...- The Real State Magazine
The music is fantastically off-the-wall, a loose approximation of the Coral colliding with the Pogues in its careening folk-rock energy...
- The Scotsman
Coming from the same Dundee scene as The View and The Law, energetic young quartet Luva Anna are possibly the best of the bunch. The closing Angry Fat Bouncer was the best of all, a frantic grudge match that had the entire crowd dancing, proving this is a band who are easy to fall for.
- The Sunday Mail
...its clear from their opening, perfectly harmonised sea shanty that Luva Anna are a unique proposition altogether...the fact that theyve gained a name for themselves through the festival circuit makes perfect sense. After all, who can resist a folk-rock hybrid that you can dance to?
