It currently sits at over 35 million streams on Spotify alone, with the band hitting 180 million in total streams.

“Not many bands currently on the circuit have put as much energy into their performance as Spacey Jane do. Their sets are electric and infectious; even if you don’t know a song, you’re moving by the time it’s finished.”
- NME
“One of the standout strengths of Spacey Jane is their live show. It’s utterly infectious. They play like they’re having a blast on stage and it means the crowd does too. Their energy and passion might only be bettered by that of their fans… screaming back the lyrics of every song.”
- TRIPLE J
“The four-piece grew from indie-rockers worth keeping an eye on to one of Australia's leading bands, emerging as a flag-bearer of the next generation of indie/pop.”
