Yet another incredible review by The Cage, this time our album Blown Away.
“Hovercraft proves with Blown Away that time only sharpens real music, it never dulls it.”
“Hovercraft doesn’t chase moments on Blown Away, they create them.”
“Blown Away proves that Hovercraft’s moment didn’t pass, it waited.”
Blown Away by Hovercraft stands as a blazing statement of raw power, lived-in emotion, and timeless creative force.
Return Of Rock rocked Blown Away, describing it as:
“…a feral, heart-on-fire album…sounding impossibly alive…feels urgent in the way only real music does.”
‘Blown Away’ moves with remarkable focus. The sequencing feels intentional, drawing you deeper into its emotional gravity with each track.

fragile art rescued from oblivion
a messy and vulnerable final flare shot into the void
Absolutely incredible review of Blown Away by Dave Franklin at The Big Takeover.
“… these are great songs… raw, power-pop groove meets indie cool meets punky energy… Poetic, mystical, and marvellous.”
songs that should have been hits in any era of modern music.
RGM (Reyt Good Music) interview and album review.
“The whole album traces that arc from hope to wreckage, sophistication to chaos. Like Britain itself, really. Like the hovercraft technology we’re named after…”
“…scrappy, unfiltered, and not remotely fussed if the edges slice your fingers… the most honest thing you’ve heard in years”
…messy, desperate and properly brilliant
The Indie Grid reviews Blown Away.
“…These thirteen tracks roar with the youthful volatility… punk-blueprints and scrappy alt-rock skeletons held up to the light… what’s remarkable is how alive this record feels… the kind of track bands spend their whole careers chasing.”
a fever dream of defiance and collapse
Big thanks to Miguel Castillo for his amazing reviews at La Caverna.
New Pine Overcoat / Angel: “…the spirit of a youth oscillating between idealism and fatalism….evoking a world where hope and exhaustion coexist…a devastating portrait of loss, dependency, and bitter resilience.”
…a double release that perfectly embodies its raw, emotional and deeply human aesthetic.
Blown Away: “…the fantasy of escaping reality while admitting the impossibility of sustaining a heroic facade….addictions, disenchantment, vulnerability and the desperate search for meaning.”
…an acidic portrait of British youth, drenched in endless nights and existential disorientation.
Another superlative review from the guys at Music For All!
Blown Away: “…a phenomenal album! A tracklist, incidentally, that has absolutely no decadent moments.
With just the right amount of speed (Charlie would love this one!)
What a fantastic review of Blown Away by Edgar Allen Poets!
“…restless, stylish, and driven by a desire to move… mix of nostalgia and adrenaline… the band proves they’re unafraid to take stylistic risks… dreamy but grounded, hazy but intentional… The groove is infectious…”
Every track contributes something distinct, and together they form a journey that keeps you locked in until the closing note.
