Charlotte F., Radio Sirup, Siegen, Germany,January 2003 ,  review of Ike Moriz's 'You Could' (EP/single, London, UK) "In December we did get a copy of "You Could" and I really liked it. The tracks are fresh, they rock, and they are exactly the type of music we usually play. That's why we'll of course announce and play them."

Mike Williams, Vanguard Online, Sheffield, UK, January 2003 ,  review of Ike Moriz's 'You Could' (EP/single, London, UK): " You Could  is the second single in recent times from Ike Moriz. It's a gently strummed indie track, something between Pulp and David Bowie. The power of Moriz's voice and his ability to hit just the right notes are the outstanding features (...)."
