Get A Grip - Toast Magazine
"Semion are a five-piece band from London whose seven song disc, Get A Grip, falls nicely between the moody jangle of R.E.M. and the equally moody darker sound of Outrageous Cherry. Lead singer/songwriter Gary Ford's excellent reverb-soaked vocals are a perfect complement to the guitar sounds of Paul De Ste. Croix. Songs like Paul Loves Derek the folky, catchy Dumb the wonderful Year Of The Monkee and Under The Sea, with its flange effects, should be loved by anyone who yearns for the days of that college radio sound."
