Fox and the Law

"Part fresh-faced punks, part wise songwriters, Fox and the Law seem to always be creating expectations and then immediately defying them, dashing preconceptions as soon as their rich guitar riffs and vocals rife with sonic time bombs hit listeners’ ears." -Jacob Uitti, KEXP "Sometimes you just want to rock, late '70s style with big in-your-face riffs -- the kind that sound best blaring out of a car stereo on a long strip of highway. If you're currently in that mood, Seattle quartet Fox and the Law have what you're looking for." -Brooklyn Vegan "Fox and the Law kick out the jams, evoking all manner of west coast noise from the Sonics to Thee Oh Sees (see also: weird, yelping vocals) to sludgy ’90s Sub Pop." -Death+Taxes "The Foxes are made of 210 percent cocky, ’70s-style guitar riffs. They’re all about it. They make classic, cocky guitar riffage, in a heavy, Jimmy Page way" -Kelly O, The Stranger "Fox and The Law’s work is split down the middle –on one side an homage to the heaviness of early 70s Black Sabbath, on the other, fresh faced west coast punk. Keltner and crew have the audacity of youth on their side and both guitarists make the riffs they peel off look effortless while bouncing off one another, and bounding off the drummers kit, but I think it was the rattle-your-teeth-loose, thunderous bass work that got the people dancing." -Sean Jewell, The Stranger "Nothing about Fox and the Law seemed forced. From the trippy visuals projected over their drummer (whose face the audience never saw under a mop of disheveled hair) to the flurry of hair and face-melting guitar work up front, Fox and the Law didn’t let up and didn’t let down." -KEXP "They’re quite literally capturing magic in a bottle…and then dumping it all over you in the front row of their next live show." -Indie-Music.com "While 'Empty Cases' is full of heavy riffs and explosive solos, singer Guy Keltner manages to hold his own amid the wash of sound. Keltner ends up sounding like a fuzzed out, angry version of The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas and it works just as well when he’s under control on the record or nearly screaming to make himself heard live." -Seattle Times "Distorted vocals and big, bluesy riffs reign supreme on this three-song EP as garage-rockers FATL somehow make Sleep With the Lights On as energetic as their live show." -Seattle Weekly "There was a time when every band in Seattle was as brash and ragged as Fox and the Law. This young quartet—led by charismatic, axe-wielding frontdude Guy Keltner—is all leather jackets, sweaty brows and big blues-rock riffs. They explode onstage." -City Arts Magazine "...an intoxicating Seattle band with a blues twist like a lemon wedge on the rim of an electric lemonade...For those still seeking solace in late-night, smoky bars hoping to catch a whiff of the next 'big thing', keep an ear to the ground for Fox and the Law’s future. If the EP indicates a forthcoming full-length, this band could well propel itself out of the garage." -Performer Magazine “Do you like ‘garage’ bands? I don’t. Do you like garage bands that actually know how to write songs and play their instruments? Let me introduce you to some friends of mine, Fox and The Law. I currently hold the opinion that they ‘rock.’ Seattle ‘garage bands’ bring your notebook…This is how it’s done right. Stop sending me crappy recordings of your boring songs.
