: Excited for our private downtown Canton show tonight on 4th street. This one's for Chili. A party asking to be crashed if you ask us.

Press

“The new Speedbumps song is outstanding. It made me cry, actually. It's a song that has a lot of resonance for a lot of people at this point as they're trying to figure out what next, 'Where am I in life?'”

— Dee Perry, National Public Radio, WCPN 90.3 FM

"The lead singer’s quintessential singer-songwriter tenor voice often draws Jack Johnson comparisons, but the quartet’s chillness is definitely not the island-breeze variety...the group has garnered a Dave Matthews Band-meets-Steely Dan vibe."

— John Benson, The News Herald

"Urycki's vocals range from melodically haunting to gracefully jubilant. Coupled with a refreshingly modern musical sound, it seems as if The Speedbumps have no creative ceiling."

— Rory Geraghty , Black Squirrel Radio

"We've never seen a band sell so many pre-sale tickets, whether they were a national act or not. The Speedbumps show here was amazing -- standing room only."

— Cindy Barber, The Beachland Ballroom

"In the era of auto tune and single-based artists, the Speedbumps give you a reason to believe in the album again. Organic, brilliant, emotive music."

— Erin Gellert, Q Prime

"We get CDs and audio from local talent all the time for The Coffee Shop on Q104. We collectively smiled after hearing songs from The Speedbumps. This is a really good band that has the potential to connect outside of the northeast Ohio area."

— Dave Popovich, CBS Radio

"The Moody Blues were one of the first bands to pair rock music with symphony orchestras in the ‘60’s,...but seeing a local band do it with their local symphony is not an everyday occurrence."

— Buckeye Music Magazine

Questions

Ask The Speedbumps anything...

Q: What were the names of the songs you played at the Akron Art Museum?

A: Sorry, its been a while since we played that show. But if I were going to guess I say "Song for the Frustrated" "I come from a town" "Oh my Mistakes" and "potato famine" are a good start. We're going to be there again for Downtown@Dusk on July 11th at 6:30. You should come check it out!
