"If you ever get to Utopia be sure to listen out for Hush the many playing in the background."Adam Adshead - Contactmusic.com
“Revolve is the kind of power-goth love song that Tom Editors will put on when he gets down on one knee and makes an honest woman out of Edith Bowman. How could anyone not say yes?” NME 8/10 "There are few bands that could pull off such a triumph in a live atmosphere" Drowned In Sound
“Haunting” Steve Lamacq (Radio 2)
"I was so impressed with the band that I forgot to move from my seat" Tom Astley - The Fly
“This is a rare and brilliant thing – a song that hits between the eyes in a compelling and blistering fashion…The Revolve-olution starts here.” The Mirror
"So thank you a million times over, boys and indeed girls of Hush the Many, for your faith-restoring combination of delicate eloquence and crackling energy, and for a set that left the audience longing to enfold you in hundreds of grateful arms." Drowned in Sound review of End of the Road Festival
"..but the revelation was Hush the Many...Fittingly, they hushed, and charmed, the sellout crowd." Richard Clayton - Sunday Times Culture Magazine

"Music to spot the stars in the midnight sky by... " Huw Stephens - BBC Radio One "a band who threaten to grow and blossom.."
Sam Lewis - Drowned in Sound
"a beautiful blend of soft psychedelia and traditional English folk" Rough Trade (about Song of a Page 7") “On the brink of something special” The Metro
"Its melody and aggressive guitars spit venomously beneath stern, urgent vocals. Brooding and beautiful." (about Song of a Page 7") Flux Magazine
"Rarely have I seen a crowd act as impeccably reverential as those gathered here did from the moment the very lovely Hush The Many stepped on stage.." Ragged Words Magazine
"Irresistible" (about Song of a Page 7") SoundsXP
“a truly inspired twin set of classically cultivated folk psyche that will leave a lasting impression and legacy for many years to come” Losing Today Magazine (about Song of a Page 7")
"a lovely line in delicately ramshackle acid-fried folk" BBC Collective
"..sonorous, somnolent, building, winding, assuredly climbing to gradual, gentle crescendos, drifting codas, as drums are brushed, guitar replaces cello or morphs to lap-steel, words are suspended in air and 'Storyend' wraps us, enveloped, enthralled" Andy Inglis - The Fly
"Hush the Many are a quartet who operate in that fabled half lit world that exists between classically lined soft psychedelia and the stranger more enticing and timeless elements of English folk.
Absolutely perfect. Single of the Missive." Losing Today Magazine
