Shepherds Bush Empire, Dec. 2000 - Review Quotes

"Lights blazing and air raid siren screeching, Dum Dums pelt on stage looking like mischievous schoolboys. They crank up the guitars for You Do Something To Me, followed by a legion of numbers from the band's debut album, It Goes Without Saying" - World Pop

"Although Josh, drummer Stu and bassist Steve tackle hits 'You Do Something To Me' and 'Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts' relatively early on, every member of this audience knows the words to every song on tonight's setlist (some of them even know the actions). They obviously love the album. The lighter-in-the-air power ballad 'Until My Ship Comes In' is a favourite." - Capital FM

"A rousing 'Can't Get You Out Of My Thoughts' and 'You Knock Me Off My Feet' blitz anyone doubting that the band can power-pop with the best of them, after which the evils of consumerism are momentarily forgotten whilst Josh muses on the band's critical standing. "Y'know, we don't get written about in the same way as Coldplay and Muse," he ponders, as the last volley of powerchords still smoking around him, "But y'know...that's alright." - NME
