Plus 3

Three Quotes from the article written by Brian Baker of Stereotype Magazine:

-- "It’s relatively easy to sound like the Beatles now that the template’s been established. It’s quite another to take the inherent influence and turn it into something original, fresh and exciting. That’s a big part of Plus 3’s pop magic."

-- "Throughout the record (Late Nights and Lost Causes), Plus 3 exhibits plenty of potent pop diversity, from the R.E.M.-with-a-beating-pop-heart thrill of “Get Up” and the Jimmy Eat World/Green Day emo styling of “Prom (This Could Be the Night)” to the exquisite electric balladry of “Imitations” and the bittersweet observations of “Hippie Drug Girl.”

-- "Plus 3 is already playing like they’re on the national stage; someone in charge at the Big Time should be paying attention." - stereotype magazine - gallery of sound

Three quotes from the article written by Mark Uricheck of NEPAtoday.com:

-- "Plus 3's follow up to 2003's Bad Math (Late Nights and Lost Causes) is more musically adventurous, confident, and shows a band that is capable of forging their own distinct sound and identity."

-- "Think Weezer without all the intentional geekiness. Plus 3's capable of a fun, rocking good time, but with plenty of heart in it."

-- (On Late Nights and Lost Causes:) "The band sounds tighter than they've ever been, and where their last album was an enjoyable listen, this one will grab you. Sonically, this record is about as good as it gets on a local level..."

Four Quotes from Electric City CD review of Bad Math written by Mike Evans (not the one in the band):

--"Sparkling intelligent guitar pop blasting out of Northeastern Pennsylvania? You bet! Bad Math is the full-length debut from the latest incarnation of local favorites Plus ..."

--"Bad Math really is a solid album, locally produced or otherwise. The songwriting talents of Krakosky and guitarist Michael Evans (NOT ME - a different Mike Evans) are evident throughout the entire set. No two songs sound alike and the guys are certainly confident within any style they choose. "

-- "Listen closely enough and you'll detect echoes of everyone from Barenaked Ladies to Toad The Wet Sprocket to forgotten Seattle popsters Super Deluxe. It all shines and it's all good."

--"Plus 3 are a young hungry outfit already making better music than a lot of the national acts out there."

Two Quotes from the article in Electric City, written by Gene Padden:

-- "While the first disc paraded track after track of acoustic pop/rock that seemed written specifically for adult contemporary hit radio, this new disc has a personality more relative to the band, with several songs reaching out to younger listeners."

--"Plus 3 is entirely self-managed, but you'd never know it by looking at its schedule. Last year, Plus 3 opened for Fleetwood Mac at Montage Mountain, played the Woodstock Reunion, and qualified for the "American Music Awards Presents the Coca-Cola New Music Award" competition." - Electric City, Knight-Ridder, Scranton, PA
