Blue Gum Ears play the Big Bud Promotions night at 13th Note on Friday 14th May with Emer and TBC. On stage 9:30 "...the songs No Reason and Soul Release, which rank as high (if not higher) as anything Ive heard any rock band with good songwriting skill (see Foo Fighters, Vex Red etc) come out with over the past couple years. The former tune benefits from a well thought-out arrangement, nice riffs and f**ckin spankin chorus, as does Soul Release." Elevation Station April 2003. " ..."No Reason" is trendy, happening and decidedly catchy, walking a precarious line between Biffy -minus the stop-start complexity - and more conventional nu-rawk i.e. what gets above #50 in the charts. Likewise, "SOS DD" has a chorus to grace daytime radio, with meandering metal guitar just on the right side of snotty to cause Dave Pearce to fade it out early on Radio One." is this music?
