WHAT THE BLOGS ARE SAYING
"The sweeping instrumentation with Barnard’s vocals make for a poppy, accessible sound that I’m betting will make waves far beyond their native England in short order.”
- There Goes the Fear
"Gaining a cult following via some truly special live shows...The band seem to be total perfectionists...soaring indie songcraft."
- Clash Music
"Passport to Stockholm have managed to create a sound larger than the sum of their parts..."
- The Line of Best Fit
"a truly mature and warm sound that's perfect for the incoming autumn weather."
- The 405
"Passport to Stockholm have the feel of a new young band on the brink of a breakthrough. Their Chemistry EP may well be the vehicle to propel them up a gear."
- A music blog, yeah?
"A four-song collection rife with lingering lyrics, vastly rich soundscapes, and dextrous songwriting abilities."
- The Music Ninja
