Press Reviews A&R Network - June 2002 Pennsylvania has already delivered a winner to radio with the multi-platinum sound of Fuel, and it's latest offering is Eight Days Gone. EDG formed three years ago and released its debut album, In The Absence of Subtlety, which generated a healthy amount regional sales. The single "She's Life," offeres the epic sound of Matchbox 20, and singer Neill Steinke gives a gracious nod to Creed and Pearl Jam with commanding vocal style Album Network - Designated Hitter Northeastern Pennsylvania is known for the timeless beauty of its landscape-rolling hills and lush woodlands. It's the perfect for the music of Eight Days Gone, a rock foresome who create music as textured , varied and inviting as their place of origin. Their ambitious debut, In The Absence of Subtlety, features the rich baritone of vocalist/guitarist Neill Steinke amid an evocotive assortmaent of bold intricate melody. The powerful, emotional songwriting leaves an indelible impression-Eight Days Gone's melodic hookiness sounds deeply familiar. The tunes evoke a bit of Seven Mary Three or The Verve Pipe, but the fact the Steinke's "heart is on the disc" makes them refreshingly intimate and honest. In the Absence of Subtlety is thoughtful and tuneful with plenty of promise. - Leight Taylor Rock Editor Album Network Magazine From Rob Chorba-GalleryofSound.com "Why turn on your favorite rock radio station when there are bands like Eight Days Gone in your area code cranking out the same kind of earnest, tuneful, easy-to-swallow rock music that the kids love? Why isn't Eight Days Gone on these radio stations' playlists? They would sit comfortably next to the likes of Matchbox 20, The Calling, or even The Nixons. Why doesn't radio wake up? EDG's singer/songwriter/producer/leader Neill Steinke has that emotional post-Vedder singing style down pat, and writes some pretty sharp hooks (witness "Come Breathe" or the soaring chorus on "A Hundred Miles From Here"). With "It's Good to See You Again," Eight Days Gone evokes the same sort of pop sensibilities that helped the Nixon's score a hit with "Sister." It puts a great energy behind what are only words...., February 11, 2002 Reviewer: just a fan from New York, NY United States You know how they say "It's not necessarily what you say, but how you say it"?...This album is true testament to that old adage. Every song is a powerful combination of passionate expression and torrential sound. So often, music isn't felt, instead it's simply heard. Well, not this time, not with this group and not with this voice. When you listen to any song on this album, it's impossible not to feel... It plays at work, in my car, at home...It's one of those CD's I can listen to over and over again....There's a uniqueness to it that has totally captured my attention. "In the Absence of Subtlety" is an amazing new album, leaving me with only one question...."Where will EDG go next?" I Love It, February 7, 2002 Reviewer: charles from Dallas,TX USA This is simply the best album I have owned in many years. Thanks to their mp3 site, and a handful of great song samples, I felt the need to buy the rest of the album to see what it was all about. "Come Breathe" is such a moody song with a strong emotional overtone,"She's Life" is the ultimate love song, and a potential hit,in my opinion,"Saturday Sun" simply floors me from the opening line "settle down..." to the sarcastic,yet ironic,.."isn't it funny how everything is falling apart?" This is truly a band to check out. I would have to say that Eight Days Gone is,by far,one of my favorite bands of today, and I hope they go very far.Thanks for writing such great music, and honest lyrics!!!!! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: Great Stuff, January 19, 2002 Reviewer: A music fan from Pocono Summit, PA United States listen to this album from beginning to end.
