The Kairos‘ last single Teetotal featured in Getintothis’ monthly best new music column Deep Cuts with contributor James Baker saying: “The Kairos have dropped their second single, and aren’t messing about on it at all,Teetotal sets a fast tempo right from the off and continues the youthfulness and pace all throughout.

“The song has an attitude to it, the kind you’d hear from a Liam Gallagher or a Miles Kane tune; something I for one love to hear.

“Heavy guitars soaked in reverb and a ferocious chorus, this is a single you could imagine ringing out at any venue in the city to a good reception.

“It’s the kind of tune that would stick in your head after a gig, one that would be perfect to close a set on.”
