"THE FAMOUS plays no-frills country music of the Bakersfield Sound variety (that is, the old-fashioned Buck Owens style, a genre now known as "classic country") mixed up with some good old indie rock... practically everyone who's listened to the band's cheese-free, slightly punkified hillbilly jangle thinks it's the greatest."
 -- SF WEEKLY 

Girded by the raw sounds of '50s-era country, but imbued with the spirit of The Pixies and other post-punk pioneers, THE FAMOUS forge powerful tunes that combine the intense desperation of X, the sincere melancholy of Hank Williams Sr. and the interstellar psychobilly of the Reverend Horton Heat.
