Biography

Fox and The Law are reminiscent of the New York no wave movement frontmen Teenage Jesus and The Jerks and Richard Hell and the Voidoids, or even Tennessee’s Be Your Own Pet. Catching a wave on a riptide of chord progressions and surfing a cavalcade of staggered time measures, the band is Seattle’s next best export.

"...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 li...ke ‘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. Thanks.”
-Sound on the Sound

“As a listener, I can appreciate the honesty and pure unadulterated energy compacted into their songs and it’s easy to acknowledge the allegiance they make to the rock genre. With their halting guitar distortions, animated rhythms, and forceful melodies, they sneak up on you like a wave and come crashing down on you. Fox and The Law is an assembly of strong musicians that beckons to be recognized.”
-What's Up Magazine

"The first thing you should know about this band is that they are self-identified garage rockers ??" they have no qualms about turning up the gain and breaking a few drum sticks. The second thing you should know about this band is that less than a year after forming, they won the Seattle Hard Rock Café battle of the bands, topping some other acts that had been playing together for much longer. They managed this feat with songs that show off the blues-inspired talents of their two guitarists, Guy Fox and Ryan Granger, while maintaining a high level of energy throughout."
-SSG Music

“Hey Fox and The Law ??" you’ve got that certain it. You’ve got the strutting sound and talent of blues rock. Now, dear Seattle, take note and check this band out. After seeing their show at the Crocodile, I’m quite smitten.”
-Back Beat Seattle

“Fox and The Law’s current batch of songs are ballsy and robust, featuring Keltner’s flawless and dirty guitar playing. His music is steeped in old-style rock and blues based around simple, catchy riffs and playful lyrics.”
-Northwest Indie Music

"Something about the thick, crunchy guitar tone on Fox and the Law’s song 'Awake' won me over...and I included it on the most recent volume of Ball of Wax. I’m very glad I did, because their set during the Volume 23 release show was really impressive: loud and heavy, with a high level of musicianship, and guitar solos that impressed without veering into utter wankery."
