What People Are Saying...
"Sparking with triumphant Wah! exuberance, the former Apollo 440/ Grim Northern Social frontman channels his inner Tom Petty to excellent effect with his debut solo album, Always Everlong"
- Classic Rock Magazine
"This is for playing loud with the windows open enjoying the singing in the rain vibe. If you haven’t heard this man’s voice before,
then now is the time."
- Backseat Mafia
"Gritty and melodic, soulful, and driven with an enthusiastic energy, Always Everlong is a terrific debut"
- 4/5 RNR Magazine
"Macfarlane belts out hard, driving sounds with catchy-as-hell lyrics and rhythm"
- Rolling Stone
"Hooky, classic rock with a Springsteen meets Tom Petty feel. Listened again straight away. Twice.- 5/5"
- Louder Than War
"Always Everlong reveals a strong album of driving rock rhythms and sensitive balladry"
- Northern Sky
"a mesmerising live act and decidedly the best the country has to offer"
- Music Week
"Surely we have a brand new candidate for the album of the year!"
- XS Noize
"the best voice in rock this side of the Atlantic"
- The Sunday Times
“An absolute corker”
- What’s On Guide
"It’s good to have him back."
- Billy Sloan, BBC Radio Scotland
"Single of the week"
- Janice Forsyth, BBC Radio Scotland
"An album that will definitely remind you of Springsteen and Petty, MacFarlane uses a modest amount of twang and the Scotland native retains the spirit of his home country to give it a distinct angle. Writing a song a day during lockdown, he certainly bared his soul in these stories, and it makes every second here worth respect and admiration."- 9/10
- Take Effect Reviews
"'Milk' will set Macfarlane well on his way to becoming one of the UK’s if not the world’s most revered songwriters"
- 8th Day Magazine
"a brilliant soul-roots rock album which showcases EM’s honeyed asteroid vocals and clever songwriting."
- Folking Magazine
"Blessed with a grippingly powerful voice…Rooted in blue-collar rock, it extends out to cover other key influences and does so with aplomb"
- The Sunday Post
