Press Reviews:

"Their debut album is rife with the kind of heads-down angsty rock that America thrives on. 'Dilate' and 'She Knows' especially, sporty epic choruses and churning, scything guitar lines. 'Thrown To The Wolves' is enough to make record executives across America weep with regret." |

"It's just good-time(rock'n'roll that surpasses analysis, and injects you with its inherent energy."

"Don't know who the fuck Mary is, but if she's a four-star hotel, she's got a rockin' house band under her roof."

Live Show Reviews:

"If you in your life only ever get to see one band play live, make sure it's this one."
|
| Richard Hinton, Bristol Sound |

"FSM are pure gung-ho Americana. Cartoon, car-chase, Beverly Hills rock, juiced up with added sweat... they came out with a string of songs that, given post-grunge cult status, could have been from the same pen as current Foo Fighters single. From a land that's given us the diner, popcorn and Pepsi Cola, this was Four Star, High Octane, Gas Guzzling, Iron Pumping, Ozone Threatening, Groundhog Crushing, Bubble Gumming Mary."

| Paul Carrera / Nightshift, Oxford |

"FSM are an incredibly proficient live act: musically tight as a hangman's noose, they're performers with a real presence and a sharp song writing ability that deserves to get them much more mainstream attention than they've been getting."
|
| Adrian Jones / Rock City Nottingham Online |
|
|
"Punchy and full of infectious riffs; rock festival songs with sing-along choruses and moshpit melodies."
|
| Amanda Doughty / RockSound Magazine UK |
|
|
"There's almost something self-serving and RIGHT about the name of this group. They ARE four star. Four out of four stars, really. Like Queen, they seem to live up to a name that defines the power you can expect from your masters."
|
| Ben Ohnmart / NYRock.com |
|
|
"FSM can be accused of possessing more sense and sensitivity (plus a dose of mighty melodic intuition) than they have any right to."
|
| Johnny Whiteside / LA Weekly |
|
|
"Overall, an impressive band. Judging by the crowd they drew, you should keep your eyes peeled. Where music is at right now, they're right on the money."
|
| Jared Bockoff / Local Artists |
