28 Costumes review on MusicOMH

"You can't move at the moment without reading, seeing or hearing about Liverpool being the Capital Of Culture, and beneath the cheap jokes are signs that the city's rich musical history is in safe hands.

28 Costumes have already had a minor degree of success a few years back, but Erika sounds like a band revitalized. A passionate, energetic belter of a guitar song, with a beat seemingly designed to fill up an indie dancefloor at a moment's notice. Like their most obvious comparisons, Maximo Park or The Futureheads, there's a nice undercurrent of melancholy and regret that works extremely well.

Fellow Scousers such as The Zutons or The Rascals may receive more publicity in 2008, but 28 Costumes are well worth keeping your eye on."
