Huggy Bear: Ready, Teddy, Go!
Steven Wells, NME, 6 March 1993
You've seen HUGGY BEAR smash up mainstream complacency on The Word, you've been baffled by a load of biased ranting on some kind of new punk for women... STEVEN WELLS goes on the trail of the elusive Huggy Bear, nails them down for a few quotes and power-drills his colours unequivocally to their radical, wonderful mast. Take cover, cynics... and remember, kids — BOY! GIRL! REVOLUTION NOW!
