"54 Seconds play Psych-tinged Pop and were fun to watch: the grooviest light-show since Hawkwind, plus TV-sets tuned to static." - TurnItUpOrTurnItOff Productions

"Part Pop, part sonic experiment, part musical canvas. The colors on this canvas are as thick as oil paints. 54 seconds is a great project that inspires me with envy. How does this band create such personal music while maintaining mass pop appeal? Beats me, but they're out there working the streets so catch 'em live if you can...while tickets are still cheap." - David Dreesen, Creeker

"An inventive and intellectual divergence from Austin's pop mainstream." - Sarah Marmion, Citysearch.com

"54 Seconds isn't as hard as the Monkey [Pushmonkey], but still rocks like crazy." - Jim Beal, "Beal: Night After Night," MySanAntonio.com

"54 Seconds makes me want to turn my stereo up as loud as I can stand it. Their sound is big, expensive and expansive, deep, warm and woody. This is modern power pop music with roots stretching back into the sixties and seventies. Their first release, "ep", produced with Dave McNair, screams from the very first two-bar build of "Jaded" into a finely crafted, melody and groove driven CD. 54 Seconds is a band in the truest sense, made up of four musicians that gel and dig deep together." - Don Harvey, Director of Content and Music, Clubcastlive.com

"(Cultural) differences work to the band/s benefit - offering a clearly diverse sonic mélange." - Dave Burlovich, Dmusic.com

"54 Seconds has slowly grown into one of the most popular [bands] in town, packing the Speakeasy every Monday night." - Michael Corcoran, Austin American Statesman

".......See 'em because Gibb's one of the town's most inventive guitar players and his haunting songs are full of surprising depth and passion. They're also a super-tight live outfit, featuring drummer J.J. Johnson, organist Stewart Cochran, and bassist Glenn McGregor." - Andy Langer, Austin Chronicle

"Mysterious melodies drive these cool, atmospheric songs of windy guitars and smooth, slightly-warbling vocals." - Listen.com

"In less than a minute you'll be hooked." - Insite Magazine

"One would think that after being around for five decades that traditional rock might lose some of its appeal and stagnate. However, as long as there are bands like 54 Seconds around, traditionalists need not worry. Working within the time-tested structure of tight arrangements and memorable melodies, these Texas boys confidently rock while never forgetting those tear ducts that wait to be mined and exploited. See them rock out at this year's SXSW, Thursday, March 16th, 10pm at the Speakeasy." - Riffage.com, from "featured artist"

"Alternative Rock, PopMoody, psychedelic alterna, pop in the vein of Radiohead (without the schizophrenia). Dreamy and thick." - AudioGalaxy.com

"54 Seconds has grown into one of the most electrifying live acts in town. Their nine-song CD, called "ep" is one of the tastiest pieces of post-psychedelic art pop I've ever heard...." - Sharon Jones: "20 to watch," Citysearch.com

"... crowds have been coming of late to get a peek at 54 Seconds- an eclectic alternative rock outfit featuring frontman Spencer Gibb... 54 Seconds has serious potential - Gibb's voice and his songs are inherently original and full of surprising depth and passion." - Andy Langer, agentGO.com

"...Excellent melodies, thought provoking lyrics, tight instrumentation and eerie other-worldly atmospheres. I could say a lot about this band but I believe the music truly speaks for itself! The fact that they are one of Austin's top club bands is not surprising... they rock hard, croon softly and trigger your imagination to work in overtime, all at once." - run2me

"If you like the rusk and melodious sounds in your music, this band is the best. 54 Seconds has the sexy, rough voice with the hypnotic instrumental rhythm, and the lyrics are so bitchin'. I love these guys! They are so, well, not the whiny-boy cries of today's music. Oh no, this is real rock, and these are REAL MEN with MEN-LY sounds. So ladies, be prepared to sigh and swoon; and guys, get ready to get some.... 54 Seconds is on." - Brie

"I caught their show at the BreastFest and was thoroughly impressed. It has a touch of Radiohead in it to me and an eerie, fun element also. They were enjoyable to sing along to and just twisted enough that you could feel obscure doing so. I will undoubtedly come again to see y'all." - Anonymous
