Online praise

Zero to Disco

"Zero to Disco," the first of a string of 2013 single releases, immediately struck a chord with Australian taste-maker AdamNotEve triggering the statement: "Back Back Forward Punch are destined for big things and are definitely a duo to watch out for".[1] Arguably the most well-known and regarded music blog, Indieshuffle, exclaimed that the single delivers “dance floor euphoria”.[2]

Don't Stop Now

2013's second single release "Don't Stop Now" was dubbed "essential listening" by Australian music blog WhoTheHell.net.[3] The site then likened Laura Boland’s voice to Giselle Roselli on Flight Facilities’ "Crave You." As result of receiving national air-play,[4] the single continued to garner praise from globally respected publications such as Indieshuffle,[5] The Vine [6] and Discobelle.[7]

'Emergency Bow Tie'

'Emergency Bow Tie' premiered at number 11 on the Triple J Unearthed 'Dance Chart' and received airplay on Dom Alessio's Triple J program "Home & Hosed" as well as Lewis McKirdy's lunch time show. Dom Alessio rated 'Emergency Bow Tie' 4/5 and Lewis McKirdy gave it 5/5 [8] with high praising comments by both presenters. The following week 'Emergency Bow Tie' made it to number 2 on the Triple J Unearthed 'Dance Chart' and number 80 in the overall Triple J Unearthed charts.[9] 'Emergency Bow Tie' has also received high praise from sites all over the globe such as acid stag,[10] Indie Shuffle,[11] THUMP,[12] Too Many Sebastians,[13] Pilerats [14] and Harder Blogger Faster [15] just to name a few.
