Here are some kind words from away:

Hey SiH,
I am listening to you on CBC Radio 3s satellite radio channel for the hundredth time and each time I ask who is this? and there you are sounding like one of the best bands in Canada.

"Smothered In Hugs are definitely a band to watch. I think Young Flare is one of the best indie pop songs to come out of the Maritimes for the past year. I think it's a great song"
Phlys MacGregor
Arts Producer, CBC Radio Halifax

"This is a band that yes, while having their foot set steadfastly in the 80s indie scene, they manage to do a lot with it, without coming across as pale imitators.
This is a cracking EP from a band that is relatively new to me. They have a very retro sound, but have put a great spin on it."

Remember me? I'm that cat that jumps on your brother's belly and meows really fucking loud right in his face so as to wake him up and drag his tired ass downstairs to the kitchen just for him to discover that I actually do have food in my dish and that I'm just a lonely, spoiled, fat cat who needs more attention than an AIDS patient! That's me!
Got a fancy package in the mail today and inside it was a great CD. Thanks to the fine folks of Smothered In Hugs I am sharing the new release with folks in England.
I'm very excited that you guys are playing NXNE. I will come for sure. You probably don't remember me, but you played a few shows with a couple of my old Halifax bands. I live in Toronto now, and remain a big smothered in hugs fun.
ryan! i will pay a steep price for a sampling of the new album... just think of the postive influence it could have on ifs ;) ... we are going into the studio on feb 11! hopefully see you at your show. j
Soo I saw you guys at Hunter's one night and had the most amazing time.. ever. I tried for a while to find you guys on myspace and such and couldn't and it was extremely depressing, but now I've found you and that excites me!
Your music is absolutely unreal, you're definitely one of my favorite Canadian bands.
