rocks, suzanne rhatigan
katy carr, and NY anti-folkers major matt mason and

by
voices song ‘game of pricks’.
simon: ‘this record is about being alive on the
planet.
looking for love. finding love. losing love and
finally
getting it back again’

“ultra-catchy, jangly acoustic pop that reminds you of lloyd cole, teenage
fanclub or american music club” soundsxp.com “memorable slices of
acoustic whimsy” *** Q magazine “An off-kilter look at the traumas, troubles, and triumphs of love Berridge has an air of a man at ease with his emotions, able to take the hits and still come back fighting for more. ‘Looking For Aliens’ would have even the most depressed student up on the dancefloor stretching their drainpipes.. whilst his take on GBV’s ‘Game Of Pricks’ is worthy of the old dog’s themselves.” americana-uk.com + some live
