| -"We Make Plans in Secret" nominated for Best Local Release (self-released), Riverfront Times Music Awards 2008 -"We Make Plans in Secret" named among the top ten local album releases of 2007 by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and Riverfront Times -Nominated for Best Rock Band, Riverfront Times Music Awards 2007 -Best Indie Rock Band (Popular Vote), St. Louis Music Awards 2006 -Best Electronic Band, Riverfront Times Best of St. Louis 2006 "It's easy to think of the Bureau as a throwback to darkly melodic new-wave bands of yore. In truth, the Bureau takes moody, synth-based rock & roll and infuses it with a heavy dose of sharp-cornered post-punk and austere robo-rhythms. We Make Plans in Secret delivers on the promise of the band's debut EP by framing Mike Cracchiolo's expressive, octave-spanning vocals with retro keyboard bleeps and lush synth pads, while the rhythm section maintains a propulsive, carbon-based energy." -Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Times "Bureau vocalist Mike Cracchiolo plays dominant basslines, the type that can devour listeners and force them to follow the rhythm's every whim. He also sings in a vulnerable baritone, recalling Martin Gore's emotional authority (but not austerity). This dapper quartet also stocks its songs with keyboard counter-melodies, stuttering drumbeats, piercing lead guitar and shadowy harmonies." -Andrew Miller, Riverfront Times The Bureau has performed with the likes of A Place To Bury Strangers, Delta Spirit, Devotchka, Femme Fatality, Holy Fuck, Men Women and Children, Riddle of Steel, So Many Dynamos, the START, Unwed Sailor, VHS or Beta, Witch's Hat, and many more.
