Editor’s
Review
Now we know what Jack Johnson would've sounded like if he'd grown up
in
the heartland instead of Hawaii. This Wisconsin pop-rock outfit
plays with all
of Johnson's whispery vocal style and mellow hooks, but trades the
beachy
vibe for crisp guitar melodies that glow with Midwestern sincerity.

CD REVIEW
Bascom Hill, “Maybe,” Arrival Records
"...tight harmo-nies, affecting lyrics and a breezy sound that deftly combines
acoustic and electric elements, “Maybe” has an instantly
ear-pleasing quality that should find broad appeal."
"Songs like the title track and “For A
Moment” have a warm sound to them, under-pinned by acoustic guitar
and organ, and Charlie Victor’s vocals are hushed and sin-cere.
Songs sometimes slide into a more energetic or funky register toward
the end, such as the Jack John-son-y vocals in “For-a-Mo-ment,”
which keeps the album from ever getting too low-key....this is an
accomplished and likable album for fans of easygoing pop-rock, no
maybes about it."

Joe Price-Rick’s Café
September 2005 Volume 3 No 9 Rickscafe.org
High Noon Saloon August 19th
Environmental Action Benefit
"...well-rehearsed pop rock that would be right at
home among the radio hits of Creed and Hootie and the Blowfish.
Their delivery was energetic and they didn’t miss a beat as they
mixed acoustic and electric guitars, smooth pop vocals, and funky
rhythms. Their cover of Sublime’s “What I got” fit their style well.
