2007 Magazine Reviews:
"Plymouth septet, The Dharma Bums, may cram the stage with an array of guitars, keyboards, strings and seats but their hushed, fragile acoustics reveal a band that know a few things about restraint. Caught somewhere between the tight-rope melodies of Bright Eyes and the lofty vocal idiosyncrasies of Mercury Rev, the band mine a rich seam of acoustic/folk-orientated pop that isn''t afraid to take it''s time to develop and shine. Very promising."
"Homegrown folk-pop heroes The Dharma Bums kept everyone spellbound with their multi-layered bitter-sweet tones and euphoric climaxes"
"The Dharma Bums were, once again, on the money with their ever-infectious, quiet positivity"
