“This newish Moncton group is made up of two long-time buddies and singer-songwriters, Steve Long and Roger Cormier. Each brings their own talents to the mix, and because they are both multi-instrumentalists, the songs feature the whole package, including guitar, bass, drums, lead electric, various other string-things, harmonica, etc. It even gets better, because Long's a producer with his own home studio. Who needs a band? They got all they need. The ten song disc features folk, pop-rock, some country flavour, blues, even some riff-rockin'. Long and Cormier have lots of ideas, and the recording partnership is the key to bringing them alive.”

— Bob Mersereau, East Coast Music

“The 7th Annual Help Beat MS Benefit held at Storm's Bar & Billiards on Mapleton Road drew a good crowd to enjoy the live musical performances of Bruised Orange, Roy Gould, Bill Trewin, Lee Thompson & Robin Ettles, while they help raise funds for the MS Society, Moncton Chapter. There was a 50/50 draw & lots of door prizes to help organizers reach their goal of $1,500 this year, which added to their total for the seven years, raising more than $10,000 for the cause. The MS Society is dedicated to ensuring that no one faces MS alone with volunteers in communities across Canada, they provide information, support, educational events & other resources for people with MS & their families, as well as work to change government practices. Their upcoming events are the MS Carnation Campaign on May 9th to 12th & their MS Bike Tour on May 27th that starts at the Chocolate River Station in Riverview. Email: brianna.macaulay@mssociety.ca to enter your cycling team.”

“ Steve Long and Roger Cormier two fine musicians from Moncton make up Bruised Orange. They will open for Matt at Greenwood Lodge in Ford Mills, NB this coming Saturday evening. This duo has have been playing and recording music for a number of years. Everything from Country to Folk but they especially love the Blues. These guys have done a lot of work for the community, a couple of examples are; Each year they (at their own expense) organize an afternoon of music with many local artists. All the proceeds go to the MS Bike Tour. Last year the pair produced a CD (Strike a Chord to end MS) and 100% of the money raised went to MS. Thanks Bill Trewin Moncton”

“ Steve/Roger: Knocked out by your CD. Original, fresh approach. Vocals and backup music on the mark. Good songs with lively arrangements. Cut one (On Rented Ground) should be in radio rotation. (Love the unique instrumental break in the middle). Great variety. I hear two different lead singers (?). Who does the snappy harmonica breaks? This album is, to me, a breath of fresh air in a music scene that is often too predictable for words. You should get a copy to Bob Mersereau, the music "expert" who does a review of Maritime (mainly NB) artists every Wednesday afternoon on CBC Radio program "Shift" out of Saint John between 4 and 6. Harris Sullivan (bongo poet!!)”
