About Me
"Very much sounding like Elvis Costello and even at times the Beach Boys, the songs are short and sweet and the Notions are tight as a sailor's knot." - Aural States , March 2008
"The best songs in their set were the upbeat ones -- like their new single "Three Horse Carousel." If "The Exercise Song," with its interlocking guitars, is any indication, the band is headed in the right direction." - Midnight Sun , March 2008
"I publish a weekly nine artist list of artists I have come across and want to share because of their effect on me... in my blog called the No.9, No.9. Become a fan: 'Three Horse Carousel' and 'Lori.'" - The Pop League , March 2008
"Gary B and the Notions play power-pop and do it very well. Hooks, melodies, harmonies -- there will be no shortage of any of those elements when the Baltimore quartet hits the stage." - The Washington Post , January 2008
"Sounds like what would happen if Graham Parker morphed with beat poets Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac " - Sound the Sirens , August 2007
"There is a timeless quality to these songs." - Bluesbunny UK , July 2007
"Moments that hint at greatness" - Pastepunk.com , June 2007
"If you think that those power popping new wavers Cheap Trick deserve to be rehabilitated in the great pop/rock firmament then Gary B and the Notions could just be the band you're looking for." - The Devil Has The Best Tuna , June 2007
"I could see this group being great down the road." - Punknews.org , June 2007
"Addictive!" - Here Comes The Flood , May 2007
"One of the best new indie releases to come across my desk...Their sound is dynamic and the songs, real." - Ryan's Smashing Life , May 2007
"Unique pop/rock songwriting that’s so good it’s difficult to take in at first." - Independent Clauses , May 2007
"Do not tune in unless you want to want to have a good time!" - 5 Acts , May 2007
"A band with plenty of attitude and a snide sense of humor...never taking itself quite seriously, but never letting go of the pop hooks." - Mish Mash , April 2007
“When I first popped in Gary B & The Notions' EP, Get Those Crazy Notions!, I was pretty sure I was listening to Elvis Costello back before he was doing cameos in Will Ferrell movies.†- Any Given Tuesday , March 2007
