“Boston’s the Hush Now sound like Braid playing a reunion show on a cloud. Replace Bob Nanna’s raspy voice with Noel Kelly’s nice-guy vocals, add a little “pop” to their step, and turn down the juice for a second; you’ve got the perfect ingredients for a notable pop-indie band. ‘Traditions’ is the first single from the group’s brand new self-titled debut, romping through the stratosphere with bass-y guitar riffs, bells tickling just the right places, low-end, catchy vocals, and just the right amount of commitment. Give this baby a couple of listens and you’ll be singing along in no time – which, ironically, works in direct conflict to the name of the band.”
