Chris Desantis of The Red and Black, the University of Georgia student newspaper, wrote a cool review of Now That She's Gone.

Thanks for the kind words, Chris!

Dave Heaton reviews Now That She's Gone


Dave Heaton is a friend of mine, and a very talented writer (The Big Takeover, Pop Matters, Erasing Clouds.) We "met" when he reviewed the first Sexy Accident record, Tourism. At that time, he was living in Philadelphia, PA, but about four years later he moved to Kansas City!

He says, “My songwriting, for better or worse, is also quite autobiographical, at least in an emotional sense. Sometimes the facts are twisted around significantly (or not that much,) but there's always a germ of truth.
