..Swedish magazine “Rock United” says:..
“Shirleys Temple surely deserves a major break as they mix the loud 70s guitar rock with some of the best modern rock of today. Jam-packed with clever and catchy rock. Like a catchier and better version of The Hellacopters or the way Kiss could sound like if they started playing rock today.

Norwegian rock band Shirleys Temples Asshole EP is jammed full of pop melodies, big production and a hint of punk sensibilities. They are on a major label in their home country, and there is no wonder — everything on this five song disc is catchy and made for radio.
“Asshole” is the cream of the crop — I wouldn’t give it many points for originality (sounds like something I’ve heard on the radio before), but it is irresistible and lots of fun. The backup chants of “wooohooo” are a cool sounding background to the chorus vocals on the next two tracks. “Heroine” ends the disc with its crunchy guitars and sing-a-long chorus. If ever a band was made for radio, Shirleys Temple is it.

Shirleys Temple play pop music, if the Minister of Pop Music was some dude in a skull t-shirt and leather pants who really dug the Hellacopters and getting it on. These Norwegian power poppers are all chiming metallic guitars, fist punching choruses that gravitate towards gangland shouts of “Woo-hoo!”, and lust songs for ex-girlfriends and their foxy younger sisters. If radio programmers in this country all misplaced their goofy Linkin Park and Sum 41 records and played Shirleys Temple instead, youd have a nation full of cooler haircuts, hotter chicks, and sunnier dispositions in a week. And you’ve just got to love the tenacity and honesty of a band that exuberantly announces “My baby is gonna be the one, gets me high and makes me cum” in their chart climbing lead off single. Makes that Broken Home junk look absolutely unnecessary in comparison.
