‘Hyperactive genre-jumping that shows an impressive ability to translate plentiful ideas into compelling music…
Euphoric and sublime.’ Four Stars –Andrew Watt – The Age
‘A classic set of tunes filled with zing, flair, boldness and precision that would be the envy of many songwriting partnerships…
Earnest is one of those records that you simply can’t find fault with’
Nick Argyriou – RHYTHMS Magazine, Sept 2011 (National)
‘Album of the Week’ –ABC Gold Coast, ABC Radio Bendigo, Coast FM 963 (NSW)
‘The band has a powerful persona and is destined for great things’

The Stillsons announce SA tour for Earnest
Throughout October and November ,The Stillsons will be finishing off their ‘Earnest’ national album tour, with two shows in Adelaide’s iconic music venues. They have been thrilling audiences across Australia with their live shows, many of them extending up to three hours of original material.
‘Earnest’ has already been well received by respected music publications and radio stations, Andrew Watt of Melbourne’s broadsheet The Age gave the album Four Stars, describing the album as ‘a strangely addictive collection of memorable songs performed with flair and a sly, knowing smile.’
Nick Argyriou of RHYTHMS magazine made the comment, “Earnest manages to meld a dusty sonic chemistry with bold and imperishably robust rhythms during one of the most amiable releases you’ll hear in 2011. And this is not hyperbole – trust me.”
Justin Bernasconi (guitar) and Cat Canteri (drums) are the core of the band’s song-writing, and they met in 2006. Ben Franz (The Waifs) joined the group in January 2010, adding his deft touch on pedal steel guitar, vocals and production. The rare male-female dynamic echoes the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Welch & Rawlins.
The title song Earnest was inspired by tragic statistics, which state that more Australians die from suicide than car accidents or skin cancer, and males in regional areas account for a high percentage of these self-inflicted deaths.
The Stillsons’ second album Earnest was released through FUSE Group on Friday 9th September, and is available in all Title record stores or online at iTunes or www.thestillsons.com
