"Get Those Crazy Notions!" is OUT NOW ! ! ! - Buy it here!

"Very much sounding like Elvis Costello and even at times the Beach Boys, the songs are short and sweet and the Notions are tight as a sailors knot." - Aural States, March 2008

"Gary B and the Notions play power-pop and do it very well. Hooks, melodies, harmonies -- there will be no shortage of any of those elements when the Baltimore quartet hits the stage." - The Washington Post, January 2008

"If you think that those power popping new wavers Cheap Trick deserve to be rehabilitated in the great pop/rock firmament then Gary B and the Notions could just be the band you're looking for." - The Devil Has The Best Tuna, June 2007

"Addictive!" -Here Comes The Flood, May 2007

"One of the best new indie releases to come across my desk...Their sound is dynamic and the songs, real." - Ryan's Smashing Life, May 2007

"Unique pop/rock songwriting thats so good its difficult to take in at first." - Independent Clauses, May 2007

When I first popped in Gary B & The Notions' EP, Get Those Crazy Notions!, I was pretty sure I was listening to Elvis Costello back before he was doing cameos in Will Ferrell movies. - Any Given Tuesday, March 2007
