INCENDIARY MAGAZINE - A nice little EP this, made all the more loveable by the fact that it comes as a beautiful 12 inch vinyl. Just take a look at that back cover as well. There’s something about how pretentious and pompous it is that just makes me smile... It’s actually a really pleasant and soothing record to listen to and I’d direct anyone with a passing interest in Jeff Buckley or Josh Ritter in this direction.
LEONARD'S LAIR - "There’s a noticeable ache and weariness to Huie’s delivery which is quite appealing. Most impressive of all is ‘Hum’, though, chiefly for its languid Sea And The Cake-style arrangement. ‘Cheer The Bombs On’ is a well-produced and accomplished set of songs. Furthermore, with many of his potential competitors a little quiet lately, don’t bet against him making appearances on commercial radio by the end of the year."
THE FIRE NOTE - "As you take Russell Huie's new EP Cheer The Bombs On for a spin you may think that his voice seems very familar. This familiarity comes from the simple fact that if you mixed up the vocal styles of Jeff Buckley, Rufus Wainwright and Ron Sexmith you would come out with Huie's soft mix delivery, which is completely infectious. It is Huie's voice along with each building mid-tempo number that is the true strength of this EP and makes for a pretty good indie pop journey contained in a nice musically tight twenty minute package."
JUNIOR'S CAVE - "From the very first note, Russell manages to capture us with his melodious tunes and soulful vocals .."
