Euphonic

"From the direct and hard-hitting opener Headspace to the hastening and commanding Warning Bell, Euphonic are a creative rock force ready to take on the world." RIP IT UP October, 2008

"...a breathless ride. Well constructed with just the right degree of rawness, this was well worth the wait." DRUM MEDIA August 2008
"the result resembles early Radiohead, with some achingly passionate vocals over acidic guitar bursts" INPRESS August 2008
"...heavy-hitting and radio-friendly, catchy-as-hell and intellectually satisfying. Drowning For Daylight manages to be both reverent and original, and points to a bright future for this Sydney quartet." ROLLING STONE August 2008

"Lyrical darkness flooded with up-beat melodies. Drowning For Daylight is defined by raw, lingering guitar chords being driven by pop punk drum fills and modest rock & roll bass lines, clashing with ascending vocal melodies that lead into expansive choruses. Drowning for Daylight achieves the feat of sounding instantly recognisable and catchy" RAVE MAGAZINE August 2008"Euphonic's debut LP is the equivalent of an aural enema... they deliver an album of depth. Confident and passionate." BMA CANBERRA July 2008"songwriters who have a fantastic command of melody and choruses and can play the songs they have written.. high quality, hooky songwriting" BLUNT MAGAZINE July 2008"Driven by a pop-punk feeling of urgency, Drowning For Daylight is complimented by lyrical expressions of confusion and disillusionment. The result is, in a sense, nostalgic. A throwback to the scene in the late ‘90s and early 2000s where Australian bands like Grinspoon, You Am I and Magic Dirt were making real rock & roll albums." RAVE MAGAZINE July 2008.."Sydney heavy rock quartet Euphonic love bass riffs that rumble along the floor and guitars that are drenched in fuzz. Magic Dirt's Dean Turner has a similar love making him the perfect choice as producer for the band's debut album Drowning For Daylight." DRUM MEDIA July 2008..

at Birdland Studios, Melbourne - March '08 __________"This Sydney quartet has already released two new singles in 2007 - YEAHNO is the third. Now the group is readying its debut. Why the rush? Well, in the case of YEAHNO, it just doesn't seem right to keep this song away from public consumption. The track rushes forward with a mix of electric guitar leads and acoustic rhythm guitar - a power pop guitar onslaught that's like the sound of classic Dinosaur Jr with the harmonies of Teenage Fanclub and some of the vocal expressiveness of Jeff Buckley. Enough name dropping for you?" iTUNES"Yeahno, a melodic guitar-strong slacker anthem featuring unusually effective shouted harmonies... a tight-knit group touring constantly, to their fans’ pleasure." RAVE Magazine"YEAHNO is probably their catchiest to date... when they ramp up into the chorus it echoes every great guitar pop-single of the last ten years." DRUM MEDIA"Tipping Point is a well put together bit of slightly harder guitar noise, with some intelligence and even a commercial edge to it." Ross Clelland - DRUM MEDIA"With influences ranging from You Am I, Silverchair and Teenage Fanclub, Sydney’s Euphonic are a polished, well-produced rock band. The new single seems to aim for a specific demographic, with lyrics addressing themes of depression and suicidal behavior, reflective of singer Paul Carpenter’s personal experiences; pop-punk fans should receive this well." TIME OFF

"Euphonic’s style of rock – full-bodied with a little extra meat around the brass - where Triple J-level alternative meets commercially viable rock - Gutsy, guitar-propelled and confident - Brashly pop-punk paced - rest assured Euphonic will settle in comfortably around its vague peers on the J-playlist." RAVE MAGAZINE

"Euphonic do it pretty well. Lead man Paul Carpenter has a strong voice and their sound is definitely "big". Sleeper is a little punkier than its follower Life On A Chain, but life... is probably the winner of the two." PERTH DRUM MEDIA

"if the EP is anything to go by, Euphonic has the goods to mix it with any international rock band. On the strength of their excellent debut EP, their future is certainly in their hands" BMA, Canberra

"Euphonic have very much cut their teeth on the live circuit. Comparisons of their style have been varied, but perhaps the most impressive was when one entertainment writer drew parallels with Radiohead." BYRONSHIRE ECHO"They have long been making thoroughly well put together guitar tunes, that have managed to garner supports with a wide range of headliners from Cog to The Givegoods (and that's quite a sweep). 'Everything' seems to have just about, erm, everything. It's big sounding and undoubtedly commercial, Paul Carpenter has a voice that can cover it" DRUM MEDIA"Euphonic mingle the mellow styles of bands such as Radiohead and Pavement" - May 21st CRITIC'S PICK - Sydney Morning Herald (Metro)"Melodic alt-rockers Euphonic look the part as they sit in this inner city pub sipping an 11am beer. How rock." THE BRAG"Euphonic have done the hard yards on the road building their live reputation." CANBERRA TIMES"...very energetic and upbeat pop/rock" DRUM MEDIA __________TIPPING POINT - ADDED TO RAGE/MTV ROCK CHART SHOW - OCT 2007__________..
