Bradley’s Almanac: The Hush Now - So Many New Boston Sounds

Friday, February 20th, 2009
Bradley’s Almanac gave a nod to The Hush Now for both their album and CD Release Party recently.

“While CC likens their sound to Poole and The Ocean Blue, I swear at times they’re ringers for a sonically-improved Fudge, and that’s high praise indeed. If you aren’t convinced to go grab the full-length yet, here’s a taste that should seal the deal…”

ClickyClicky Reviews: The Hush Now CD Release Party

Thursday, February 19th, 2009
After coming out to see the CD Release Party on February 12th, Jay Breitling of ClickyClickyMusic had this to say about the The Hush Now’s performance:

“There are a couple important things to note that underline the fact that The Hush Now is a band to watch. First, this was technically the band’s live debut. And we don’t just mean this particular line-up of the band, we mean it was their first gig, and The Hush Now was very convincing”

The Boston Phoenix: Editor’s Event Picks - The Hush Now

Sunday, February 8th, 2009
The Boston Phoenix supplied a preview of The Hush Now’s CD Release Party in their February 6th Issue, having this to say about the event:

“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”
