Drew Bowden revue quotes

1	Quote: Steve Asplin (Manawatu Standard)

With a style similar to other surf-rock crossovers Donovan Frankenreiter & Jack Johnson Drew Bowden writes songs that  easily competes with theirs and at times is better.

   His music is intensely personal and entrancing. He not only has a fantastic voice,but is a talented guitarist as well.
       
  “Be Still” is one of those hidden gems that deserves more exposure. Bowden’s music is wothy of recognition for its simploicity and unassuming beauty.

2	Quote: Jo Tindling (Amplifier Magazine)

 At first listen Drew Bowden 3’s “Be Still” sounds like the kind of album I would have listened to constantly over the summer.Unlike other Surf rock albums though,there are more to the songs than just noice guitar playing and a good voice. Bowden’s personal lyrics coupled with his wonderful use of minimal orchestration makes for a sad.sweet.intimate album that just gets better the more you listen to it.

   As an album “Be Still” gives an authentic portrayel of the world through Bowden’s eyes and shows him to be a singer songwriter with an innate understanding for his own voice.Its t times sweet and at times sorrowful but always authentic.

3	Quote: Bing Turkby ( NZ musician Magazine)

The DB3 are a good.tight trio with restrained drumming and supportive double bass playing which forms the backdrop for Bowden to showcase his breathy singing.and slightly gutsier guitar playing..He’s damn good at what he doe and his songwriting is just as good as his instrumental facility and if the proof’s in the pudding he’ll get his just desserts.
