PRESS REVIEWS
âMinus Circus produces the kind of music that should be played on all radio stationsâ¦.by law!â
Roddie Cleere (Irelands John Peel) â WLRFM

âHands down one of the finest acoustic releases 2008. Itâs not a question of if, but when international stardom beckons for Minus Circus.â
MySpace Music

âWorking with him is quite exhilarating. Heâs a prolific singer/songwriter. â
Rafa Sardina (11-time Grammy winner & Producer/Mixer/Engineer)

â..flawless and exceptionally talented performerâ
Rick Grossman (Bassist from Hoodoo Gurus, Divinyls)

âIreland native singer-songwriter, Gerry Scullion, aka Minus Circus, enlisted 11-time Grammy winner mixer-engineer Rafa Sardina (Stevie Wonder, Luis Miguel, Macy Gray) and co-producer Cheche Alara (Christina Aguilera, Pink) for his new EP âHide & Seekâ. The result is a too-short taste of impressive, soaring pop songs not heard much since Oasis last hit the charts. Thankfully Scullion leaves the Gallagher brothers pretention back in the U.K., delivering instead a set of ear friendly radio fare.â

MUSIC CONNECTION (US) Online and Print

âMinus Circus is the nom de guerre of LA domiciled Irishman Gerry Scullion who trades in impeccably produced pop rock that manages to find a perfect middle ground between the electric and the acoustic.On this EP, the effortless swing of the opening track âGood Soul/ Bad Soulâ the gentle beauty of âHide & Seekâ, the addictive hook of âRevolveâ and the more introspective mood of âHold on Tightlyâ make for four different but equally enjoyable tracks.â
HOT PRESS (Ireland)

âIt is altogether an engrossing EP well worth the attention of those who appreciate the merits of accessible indie-rock with a lyrical edge.â
FREQUENCY IRELAND (Ireland)

â..if you canât decide between the vibrant band and singer-songwriter scenes in Dublin, look no further than Minus Circus, whose acoustic brand of rock perfectly blur the line between the twoâ¦â
EVENING HERALD (Ireland)

âMinus Circus? The name conjures images of a big top filled with a capacity crowd of clowns, strong men and bearded ladies with the ring inhabited by trained elephants mounted by candyfloss-brandishing children while 20 middle aged tradesmen and housewives appear from inside an impossibly small car.
Minus Circus, from a musical standpoint at least, sounds nothing like that slightly unsettling image. Gerry Scullion, the man behind the bizarre name is a 27 year old Dubliner with big ambitions. Those ambitions are plainly evident in his production team, namely Rafa Sardina and Cheche Alara who have lent their skills to acts a big as Stevie Wonder, Macy Gray, and Christina Aguilera. That makes him kind of a big deal.
His sound nestles comfortably between electric indie rocker and acoustic balladeer. From the thumping audacity of âGood Soul/Bad Soulâ, to the moving sentimentality of âHide & Seekâ, he manages to balance the two styles without coming off like a one-legged tight rope walker.
This is an impressive debut and any one of the four tracks could be chart material. Roll up, roll up, thereâs a circus in town.â
