"Jono's
a chap out of Scotland and this guy, when he sings, he's
one of these people that makes everything seem alright.
You know, quite melancholy lyrics it seems in a way, but
his voice has this texture to it that makes you kind of
go 'ahhhhh'. A really talented singer songwriter"
- Alex Baker - Kerrang! Radio

of the finest singer songwriters to emerge in recent years"

"The
album sounds amazing! Sentimental Anarchist is just packed
full of brilliant little pop songs. Stuck in the City
is a cracker! Acoustic music never really sounded as good
as this. One of the finest singer songwriters to emerge
in recent years."
- Jim Gellatly, John Peel Award Winning DJ
"Stuck In The City is brilliant. A real summer time
song. I was humming it on the way to work today. A Day
Ago is one of my favourites. An incredible song with hints
of Prince and U2. Superb. A real stand out. Not Love blew
me away. What a track. I was dying to hear Jono have a
go at a real love song and this is it. Wow! Everything
else I also love! It's a belter of an album!"
- Matt Bendoris, The Scottish Sun
"We have chosen Sentimental Anarchist as one of our
top four. The album was blinding. One of the best albums
I have heard in ages. Thanks to Jono for making it a pleasure
doing the top four."
- Carol Cunningham, Music News Scotland
"Self-recorded, self-played and self-released, Jono’s
album exudes a brash confidence from start to finish.
Subtle it ain’t, but Sentimental Anarchist pushes
his songs right into your face and keeps them there. He
has both the ability and the hooks to sustain such a frontal
assault."
- Sam Inglis, Sound on Sound
"If the reputation of the British singer-songwriter
has been rendered bland by the likes of James Blunt, at
least Scotland's Jono brings some of the street cred of
a soul-soaked busker to his craft. His self-funded debut
solo album begins on a positive note, with Stuck In The
City's acoustic guitar providing a pavement platform for
his songwriting skills, before the fuller funkier band
sound of Silver Nails harks back to the British blues-rock
singer style of the 1960s. The rasp in Jono's voice gives
Paolo Nutini a run for his money."
- Alan Morrsion, The Sunday Herald
"Short in stature but tall in self-belief, Scottish
singer-songwriter Jono treads the path well worn by such
as Paolo Nutini, Jack Johnson and Newton Faulkner, and
can hold his own in that company. It is impressive to
note that everything was recorded and produced by Jono
in one room of a Glasgow flat."
- David Esson, The Sunday Express
