context_section_description: In 1982 TBRM were interviewed by BBC producer John Walters in Shanklin. Writing in Honey he said "Melanie sings as if doing her fingernails at the same time", and called them "talented". They were interviewed by Alvin Smith for the St Albans fanzine "Wally's Dog" in summer 1983. Their flexidisc was issued with this fanzine.
   In "Caught in Flux" magazine Mike Appelstein wrote that TBRMs songs were "among the sweetest, breeziest songs I've ever heard, complete with minimal instrumentation, thin/understated vocals, and melodies to die for."
  In Plan B magazine in 2008 the influential British music critic Everett True described the band as "so twee they were beyond twee".
