The Famous is a San Francisco-based 2-man act known for their unique blend of post-punk and Americana music, creating a sound that combines the raw energy of punk with the honesty and wit of traditional country. Their music has been described as a powerful release of emotions, both good and bad, with a redemptive quality that resonates with listeners. With influences ranging from the Pixies to Hank Williams, The Famous brings a fresh and rebellious approach to the alt-country genre, making them one of rock's best-kept secrets.
Known for their cheese-free, slightly punkified hillbilly jangle, The Famous has garnered critical acclaim for their transcendent roar and maximum country rock and roll. Their music has been hailed as essential and their performances have been compared to a standoff between the Pixies and Hank Williams, resulting in a genre-bending sound that defies expectations. With their unique style and captivating stage presence, The Famous continues to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression on the music scene.
