What People Are Saying:

“…what is most striking and makes this album hang around long after the lights are turned off is that Stephens knows his way around a song, taking his cues equally from McCartney, Lennon and Harrison and, principally, writing on piano. This songs would hold up if it they were just voice and piano, even though they are full embellished with instrumental attention. Delicious, slow yet soaring, yet simple melodies all over.” – Bruce Brodeen – Not Lame Recordings

"Stories For Copper" is a melodic and lyrically uplifting release that many Power Pop lovers will absolutely devour.” – Whitsbrain.com

“Dave Stephens doesn't just play music, he pours it through your speakers into your head. Each track tells a beautiful story, and it literally embraces you.” - Radio Arizona

“First-rate songs, heavenly harmonies, and an uncomplicated delivery make this one another winner!” – KoolKatMusik.com

“His writing style rivals that of big named musicians while still being able to hold his own and showcase a unique blend of raw emotion. If you're looking for something with a soft, classic vibe with that feel of musicians such as Billy Joel/Elton John/James Taylor/Paul McCartney then your going to like this material.”
– Shipwreck Island Studios

New Stories For Copper Review!!

Read latest review at www.powerofpop.com

"With the kind of melodic prowess that the likes of Paul McCartney, Billy Joel, Emitt Rhodes, Badfinger, Queen, Styx and 10cc would be dead chuffed to possess, Stephens throws out strapping tunes and pleasing arrangements with deftness and intelligence that belies his relative anonymity...." read more...

"Dave Stephens is just the kind of artist that fits perfectly into our radio show. He would fit nicely on anyone's stereo. This Canadian artist struck as as an artist who falls into the Emitt Rhodes school of pop. We dont.. like to compare one artist to another and although he doesn..t actually sound like Rhodes or Paul McCartney or Ali Thomson for that matter - either way - Dave Stephens is the real deal. His songs are infectous.""His melodies are chock full of hooks, yet the easy use of rubato, syncopation and other musical devices reveal his high level of musicianship."-The Time Machine Radio Show. Very Highly Recommended!!

Played "Just Enough" on the radio yesterday. It always sounds sweet on the airwaves. Looking forward to your third album. The first two were amazing.

OLD FUTURE CRASH

Navega en el espacio junto a un robot con la nueva promo de Mayo de Old Future Crash...I'M A ROBOT.
Una canción donde puedes escuchar la voz narrativa de NANCY BETANCOURT y cuenta con la colaboración de MARIAN LOPEZ en la voz del estribillo.

Sail away out in space next to a robot with the new Old Future Crash promo for May... I'M A ROBOT, there you will listen to the narrative voice of NANCY BETANCOURT. It also counts with the special collaboration of MARIAN LÓPEZ with her voice in the chorus.
