“New Boston band the Hush Now deal in the lush, sugar-spun melodies of shoegaze’s dreamy heyday while also punching up their songs with the hooky muscle of bands like Guided by Voices and Built To Spill. Not-so-fun fact: the outfit traces its genesis to the epiphanic moment experienced by frontman Noel Kelly after he’d crashed his car into a Catholic church. Some heavenly pop could-be hits are the result. Tracks from their Hush Now debut (especially “Traditions” and “Sadie Hawkins Dance”) have been getting blog buzz of late, and deservedly so — it’s the best record by a group comprising a World War I re-enactor (who, alas, has since left the band), a rock-and-roll-camp counselor, and an EMT you’re likely to hear this year. The Hush Now celebrate the album’s release with the main drag, Action Verbs, and the Red Royal at T.T. the Bear’s Place, 10 Brookline St, Cambridge”
