Fans of such bands as The Reivers, The Cowsills/Susan Cowsill (recent, that is, not the 60`s material) and The Kennedys, listen up. Here`s what you need to know about FMOB: "The Fire Marshals Of Bethleham are the best band to come out of Texas since The True Believers in 1985, melodic, intelligent, near-perfect pop/rock. This is certainly the most significant Texas releases of the 00`s...the album is magnificent. The sound is a smooth, soothing mix of harmonic jangle."-Kent Benjamin, Pop Culture Press. Featuring ex-members of such greats as The Reivers/Zeitgeist, Javelin Boot, The Wannabes, The F Mob(as they call themselves), is a triumph of great songwriting, gorgeous melodies and acoustic jangle that will leave many of you breathless. The lilt of Julie Lowerys lead vocals and the bittersweet tinge of Jenny Smiths violin make for a beguiling blend that evokes comparisons with the likes of 10,000 Maniacs while extending the legacy of Croslins former band."-No Depression. I dont usually quote band bios here, but I just love what the band had to say in part of theirs and use it here: " you want to know what the new band sounds like? We sound like a band full of people who`ve known each other and played music together in various combinations for years, and who are getting pretty good at making pop music the way we think it should sound. And with all due respect, we know how it should sound. But don`t take our word for it. Listen and decide for yourself. Assuming, of course, you can get over the name . . . ". Originally, the bands` idea was to assemble a continually-revolving cast of players, all of whom would write songs, sing, make noise on various objects, and generally produce fantastic pop music with whatever lineup happened to be available at any given time. Yes, you know where this going, Extremely Highly Recommended!!
