'No Final Destination' in the Media

“The perfect sound for driving in an open-top car.”
- Rhein-Main-Presse (German newspaper, September 2009)

“... infused with beautiful ballads ... songwriting at its finest ... thought- provoking sounds.” - Rhein-Main-Presse (German newspaper, September 2009)

“Guthro’s lyrics are always well worth a read.”
- Rhein-Main-Presse (German newspaper, September 2009)

“This album is perfect for radio!”
- Radio HR1 (German radio station, September 2009) 

“Friends of sophisticated folk-rock sounds are sure to love [‘No Final Destination’].” - Musicheadquarter.de (German online magazine, September 2009)

“Bruce Guthro is a master at creating a special atmosphere. His ballad ‘Rush’ is underscored by string accompaniment, ‘Flew MacCarthy Home’ is a moving anthem reminiscent of U2’s ‘Joshua Tree’ era. ‘Boom Boom Boom’ captivates through its filigree rhythm framework, and songs like ‘Drive’ and ‘Going Home’ provide a pop vibe which is suitable for the masses yet without sounding mundane.” - Musicheadquarter.de (German online magazine, September 2009)

“Superbly arranged singer-songwriter pop music, with folk and new country elements.”
- Access All Areas (monthly music magazine, Germany, September 2009)

“… gentle ballads with a catchy pop music feel – plus plenty of anthem-like songs to sing along, clap along and dance along to.” - Neue Osnabrückner Zeitung (German daily paper, September 2009)

“Lively power-folk songs, which transport the listener away from dreary everyday life … 100% suitable for radio.”
- Westzeit (monthly music magazine, Germany, October 2009)

“Superbly scored guitar rock songs alternate with carefully conceived acoustic ballads on an album, which is, above all, a travel diary set to music – featuring various chapters, interludes and recording sessions from Florida to Denmark.” - Piranha (monthly music magazine, Germany, October 2009)

“A plethora of incredibly full sounds blend seamlessly and envelope the senses… acoustic guitars join with electric guitars to form a harmonious whole, perfectly complemented by Guthro’s uncompromising vocals … All in all, the musician has created an album which overflows with melodic, brilliantly arranged music which is full of soul.”
- Rocktimes.de (online magazine, Germany, September 2009)

“Great CD - fine mixture of rocky and folky tunes! And some great lyrics! Worth waiting for!”

“This album is bursting with life as it has a real rawness to it and is very well produced.”

“Love it - nice and lively and rocky. Looks like it's going to live on my CD player for a while.”

“This is right up there with my favourites for this year. I love this CD. Some cracking songs on it, great sound and Bruce is perfection!!!”
