Subtle Like Bombs - The Hush Now

Boston indie-pop quintet The Hush Now have made an impression on music critics and fans by wedding the “lush sugar-spun melodies of shoegaze’s dreamy heyday” to “the hooky muscle of bands like Guided by Voices and Built To Spill” as one critic put it. The band’s self-titled debut, released in October 2009, climbed independent radio top 100 charts and drew comparisons to the Cure, Guided By Voices, My Bloody Valentine, and Teenage Fanclub, among others. Blog buzz and radio play by legendary BBC 6 DJ Steve Lamacq further fueled interest in the band, who had yet to even play their first gig.
