"Like the sonically similar Wilco, Durham's Bull City melds the pop cognizance of Alex Chilton, the face-peeling passion of Neil Young and the empirical studio slight-handedness of Jim O'Rourke. And while Ex-Ashley Stove and Bull City guitarist/vocalist Jim Brantley certainly wanders the same hook-laden turf as Jeff Tweedy, he isn't emulating. Instead, Bull City's first EP (barring an early CD-R), Guns & Butter, is a stunning execution of how  rewarding Southern music can be when next generation indie rockers gaze at the Archers and Allmans with equal admiration.”
