Neil Diamond | | Sounds Like | Berkeley Place - New York's Gladshot is perfectly named: Their music is clean pop with shiny harmonies and choruses that are instantly familiar
Here Comes the Flood - Burn Up & Shine is pretty near the top of this year's best indie releases
Pop Matters - One of the nicest surprises we've had all year
Soundproof - Burn Up and Shine, the latest album from New York's Gladshot, seems an apt description for the way their crisp, infectious alt-pop warms your senses
Time Out NY - ...a more rocking, co-ed, Toad the Wet Sprocket
Another Form of Relief - Boy-girl vocals, sweeping melodies, and there’s even a piano in here too, and if anything can turn me round on a pop record, it’s a piano. The package adds up to make a delightful summer sound
The Power of Pop - I love this album! Yes its as simple as that .. Gladshot is a band that the pop underground needs to champion and how!
Blogcritics - the charming indie pop of Gladshot's Burn Up and Shine is incredibly rewarding .. a sunlit sonic synthesis of epic proportions
The Devil Has the Best Tuna - literate sun-kissed pop that's as finely crafted as a Shaker cabinet
Umbilical Chord - Long gone are the days where artists like the Beatles or the Eagles were able to combine meaningful lyrics and sing-a-long melodies. Gladshot, however, crafts songs rife with musicality and addictive choruses while embracing the art of songwriting
Catfish Vegas - Gladshot make heart-on-the-sleeve indie rock, built around catchy, harmony-rich choruses
Music of the Moment - The 12 songs on Burn Up And Shine are diverse, interesting and instantly charming, and the album's a real grower. If you're looking for a collection of perfect pop songs, you should definitely check out Gladshot!
Powerpopaholic - The music bounces along like a soft breeze and Burn Up & Shine is one of those albums that make for great summer driving
Kata Rokkar - strong and super sweet melodies
Ink 19 - Some outstanding compositions ... The duo of Debbie Andrews (keys) and Mike Blaxill (guitar) sound like a young couple in the pleasant throes of love
Metaphor - Gladshot gives me a happy tingling feeling inside...
