Writing campaign against JACKA** reviewers

Would anyone like to start a writing campaign to these jerk reviewers who don't know their music from their A**!

These idiots keep regurgitating the same review. If they knew what was going on they'd know how quickly the CD was put together and how much music is from the Lovehammers back catalog. They should check the copyright dates of the music to know when it was originally put out. The one above suggest plagiarism.

"...Casey and band's debut is a collection of tired modern-rock cliches that rip off whatever is handy - U2's "I Will Follow" provides the opening riff for "Hold On," for example, and in so doing, gives the album its deepest "roots" - and introduce nothing new to the form..."

He should be writing for bufoon news, not the buffalo news!

If this reviewer wants to correct lyrics, he should start by self examining his own writing style, which is crap! ;D

I'm just getting really, really. I'd like to make them eat their regurgitated words.

Thank you for listening I feel better now

I'll vent with you

The second article smells of lazy journalism. The guy combines all 2 of the CDs he has to review into hardly anything, and it's definitely not worth printing! Hello - look at your CD it is Lovehammers not Love Hammers - lazy!

And the first, well I just got the impression that that publication is not the rockin' type. Besides the LH, the other 5 reviews are for jazz bands and classical music. Lovehammers get 1 1/2 stars and Kenny G. with guest Michael Bolton get 3! I just don't think LH are their cup of tea.

I agree, that review was painful to read . Apparently this guy does not listen to alot of rock music and to say he has "no personality", ouch. Bufoon for sure.

I just sent a snotty letter to the music editor of the Edmonton Sun and reminded him that LHs CD was number 11 in Canada yesterday. I also said I had been to see them in Vancouver and it was the best rock concert I had been to in years!!

Here are a couple more candidates for our campaign:
The Oregonian ran a review of the Lincoln City INXS show in the Friday January 27 Living section - NO MENTION OF LOVEHAMMERS!! What the @#$% is up with that? Big Sigh!!

In one brief paragraph the Lovehammers songs are described as "all-too-generic" - say what??

I've been doing Google or Ask Jeeves searches every few days to see what kind of news coverage the INXS/Lovehammers concert tour is getting. Darn good thing most people don't judge their music on what critics say - but on how the music makes them feel!
