"Timeless...outright rock 'n'roll: the catalogue ... "Chunky, streetwise, brat-punk pop played with dedication, energy & attitude: PAINT IT RED ... "Too much, too late" Melody Maker
"Reputed to be Newcastle's hottest pop export since Rick Spangle, 16 Forever live in the same glampop rockaboogie time bubble as did the Boys , the Genocides and more recently the Soho Roses, their wired and wide awake compositions staggering through a musical autter in a likeable yet laughably obvious manner. Songs are peppered with all the vital trash buzzwords "fantasy", "cadillac", "James Dean", "Fan club", guitars gunsling in the usual mannerand it's '77 ,'79 and '84 all over again..."
