"Bump just returned from a three-month tour where they hit about 30 states, giving their new album, “Forward,” a soft release for fans. A chilled-out, atmospheric rock ‘n’ roll trip with an excellent centerpiece in single “Out of Reach,” “Forward” is ethereal and expansive."  Detroit Free Press, Detroit MI

""Everyone Knows," the first track on "Forward," sounds like a perfect spring rain, only upping the intensity during the chorus. "Everyone Knows" segues into "What Was All the Fuss About," with an industrial-sounding melody complete with shades of Bowie-esque glam (a plus in my book)."  Revue Magazine, Grand Rapids MI

"Motown isn’t the aim of Bump these days as they have built a style that’s essentially a melodic take on prog rock that can be both spacey and poppy yet manages to showcase the band’s instrumental prowess"  The Source Weekly, Bend OR

"Their new CD is quite remarkable, considering how often sophomore efforts are plagued by overconfidence and second-choice material. Bump, however, has overcome that by creating an album of strong writing, tight vocals, and commanding instrumental backup. But more importantly, Bump has something to say."       High Plains Reader, Fargo ND

"The ’80s synth and angular guitar riffs of Bump’s “Everyone Knows” almost make this Detroit-based band sound something like Oasis.  Forward overflows with twinkling keyboards, emo lyrics and pop hooks."  Missoula Independent, Missoula MT

"Keyboards, occasional forays into rock and jazz, Beatle-esque chord changes and multiple layers are all a part of Bump’s sound. They have tight, well written songs with creative lyrics."  The Corner News, Auburn AL

“There are bands that are for thinking and there are bands that are for drinking,” he said. “Every once in awhile a band comes along who is a little bit of both. In this case, its Bump.”  Vail Daily, Vail CO

"Bump is unlike any other band I’ve come across in the city, and while they might not tuck into one of the handful of genre scenes more prevalent in Detroit, they’ve crafted a fan base that stretches from the state line across the country." Real Detroit Weekly, Detroit MI
