Latest review for Yolena our first single from our new album release North Star
"If you’re looking for a laugh, you’ve come to the right place and the perfect song. Channeling Blur in their heyday with a touch of the Talking Heads, Brighton veteran rockers Tenderhooks share the whimsical and outrageously fun “Yolena”.
Musically, the song is a riot thanks to its infectious ’80s Britpop vibe. As a result, everyone who listens to this song will be dancing or at the very least bopping in their seats and doing a few shoulder shimmies. The best part of the song, though, is the storytelling, as the band recounts the life of a woman named Yolena. From her Converse shoes to her trips across the world to making Beef Stroganoff, Yolena is a global citizen with mostly expensive tastes. She could very well be the most interesting woman in the world. At least for one day, she’s the subject of the most entertaining song.
“Yolena” is the first single from Tenderhooks’ forthcoming new album, North Star. It drops in October."Ben Yung

“There's some great songs, some great delivery. It sounds like everyone else, but no one else. One of the most original and exciting albums I've heard in a long time.” ****1⁄2 ”

'Ma Ma Mr. Nice' is a really upbeat slice of indie rock with a bit of experimentation from the electronic side of things which they have managed to blend into their sound pretty nicely. In a way Tenderhooks remind me of my favourite American soft rock band The Presidents of the United States of America, Tenderhooks are just a slight bit softer and a lot more poppy. 'Ma Ma Mr. Nice' features beautiful melodies and great in your face choruses. 4/5

The third album from singer songwriter Markus Leinweber's alter ego Tenderhooks is steeped in the psychedelic songwriting style of the sixties. In particular, the likes of The Beatles, Dylan, and The Kinks.

“In fact every song is something of a journey which starts out along familiar lines but nearly always takes a detour for the unexpected leaving it invariably impossible to pin down. And that, quite simply, is the beauty of it.”

“All that, of course, is academic as the album "Devil Rides White Horses" is quite a journey, and may God bless her and all who sail in her.”

“Tenderhooks is a unique artist crafting music that has classic rock influences in songs that are modern and original!”

“I see no reason why Tenderhooks shouldn't be able to reach heights they probably only ever dreamed of. Theirs is innovative, grown-up, pop which calls on cool vibes and original arrangements. Excellent!”
