| Switching between joyous pop-punk delight and delicate melancholia in a heartbeat, It Hugs Back melt layers of fuzzy vocals and guitars into their reassuring blend of endearing shoegaze and heart-on-sleeves vulnerability. |
| It Hugs Back hail from Kent but recall a tapestry of far-flung influences as rich as their layered multi-instrumental sound; "a slight nod to My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth" (Rob Da Bank), hearty chunks of skewed Lemonhead riffs and the pop-hearted summer breeze of Pet Sounds |

| "Rod Thomas is not your average introverted singer-songwriter who laments about loss and broken hearts. The songs by the South-Wales-born self-made musician are some of the most joyful you heard in a long time. Pop music you want to dance to naked in the rain." - Finger Mag |
