REVIEWS
THE MUSIC NETWORK - Liz Thomas - July 13th 2009 issue 746
Single Review "into the Ocean"
Guitar chords roll out before the emphatic entry of the drums. From the get-go, Into The Ocean sets out as a euphoric musical journey of exciting great pop-rock led by an outstanding vocal track. These Sydneysiders are on their way.
SOSUEME - Fri 7th Nov 2008 - inthemix.com.au
A sinfully exciting crossbreed of synth-lectric psychedlica and slammin’ pop tunes, Where’s Jerome manage to work both the plastique fantastique of Casio-tone and the harmonic equivelant of the B-52’s making jiggy with Trent Reznor. Hot.
DRUM MEDIA - LIAM CASEY (issue 22/01/08)
Dear Where's Jerome, I think I love you. I fell in love with you as alive entity, while a little surprised by how electronic your debut EP is, you have perfectly balanced organic and artificial instrumentation. My favourite track is Rescue: the boy-girl harmonies, the acoustic guitar riding the downright funky bassline, the flourishes of synth an plucked strings. Ashtray makes me dance something crazy. Sure, the faux Radiohead moodiness of Karma Confused is a bit old hat, but overall, your prog-pop is mature, catchy and thoughtfully arranged.
BEAT MAGAZINE MELBOURNE Single Review By Simone (issue 16/01/08) "Ashtray"
Bedroom electro pop producer Jeremy Smith has grown his band to include sister Alex, best mate Todd and a new record deal. Lead track from the Dreamboat EP, Ashtray is simple after with super-strong vocal character, subtle arrangement and a superb melody, sounding something like Elastica with a boy at the helm. Cute and slick.
Drum Media’s Bands to Watch for 2008 WHERE'S JEROME? Drum Media (Issue 25th Dec 2007)
In our list of bands to watch in 2008. that's where. These Sydney Electropop kids have wooed a serious amount of Drum writers over a year of just quietly going about their business, sending tracks to FBI and sticking 'em up on their Myspace page. They're playing the Purple Sneakers NYE party at Manning House, incidentally, if you fancy being converted in the live arena!
The Sandringham Hotel Newtown "The Sandpit" 30/10/07 LIAM CASEY Drum Media, Live Review - 6/11/07
Aah! this is more like it: keyboards! With drums and guitar completing the ensemble, imagine forcing The Human League and The Dresden Dolls onstage together - pretty amazing right? Where's Jerome? are like that: melodramatic and quirky pop, with a likeable British feel. The material was most notably held together by Todd Cetin's drumming, which recalled - no joke - Yeah Yeah Yeah's Brian Chase. Elsewhere, it was acid-tongued lyrics and kazoo- driven bridges all round. There are a few rough edges of course, but this band comes with the writer's seal of approval: guaranteed to be really quite good.
Annandale Hotel, 21/11/07 Ross Clelland - Drum Media
Meanwhile, Where's Jerome? is a collaboration which surprisingly hadn't happened earlier. Jeremy Smith, whose band Altona seemed pretty close on the basis of some good Triple J airplay, finally got around to linking with the sometimes theatrical leanings of his keyboardist sister, Alexandra Sabastian, she of Midnight Hysteria and good shoes. The music had some perhaps unexpected twists. A bit of early Floyd whimsy ran into some new wave choppiness, while Motorway had some Mott glam stomp to it. There's even a kazoo.
DOM ALESSIO - FBI RADIO PRESENTER "Who The Bloody Hell Are They" http://whothehell.net/archives/777
No photo and a cryptic name like Where’s Jerome?. So who the hell is this guy? Well, it’s actually Jeremy Smith, better known for his vocal and guitar work in Sydney outfit Altona. With the help of a computer, an acoustic guitar and the must-have Casio keyboard, Jeremy’s crafted himself a number of rather endearing tunes that marry acoustic guitar and clear vocals with smooth, funky electronic backings.He’s compiled them altogether into an EP entitled Dreamboat (hence the illustrations I guess). The first single ‘Ashtray’ floated onto my lap the other day and I was so taken by it, mainly because I had never heard of the outfit before. Judging by the bio, Jeremy’s other passion is food: the bio is filled with refernces to cooking and the kitchen and writing songs in his kitchen.There’s a couple of tracks on the MySpace page, and ‘Rescue’ was the only one I could download, so here it is! Expect to hear a lot more courtesy of Where’s Jerome? very soon.
