Press Reviews From the October 2002 edition of "Midwest Beat" Magazine (written by David Buco) "MY GRADE: A- Simple Something is our final Rumbler for this month with a four song CD sampler. There is a very evident Incubus influence here - vocally, musically, and lyrically. That is NOT a bad thing at all. Partly because Incubus is a great band and partly because Simple Something is far, far, far from being any kind of "copy band". There is much originality in music - strong emotion and just a hint from time to time of Alice in Chains in their sound as well. Production is top notch, songwriting/arrangements are nearly perfect, and the musicianship and vocals are unforgettable! Simple Something is one hell of a band, keep your eye on them. Another breakout band from da region - maybe!" From the August 2002 edition of "Local Live" Magazine: (written by Dan Scheffki) "...Next were Simple Something who tore through their set of Incubus-esque material with reckless abandon. These guys had some cool songs, best of which was a new cut they threw out to the crowd that night called "Best Intentions". Their mix of melody, vocal harmonies, and riffing along with a smokin' drummer (who reminded me some of Police drummer Stewart Copeland at times) were a pleasant surprise."
