I am beyond grateful to share this wonderful review by Strutter'Zine aka Strutter Magazine in the Netherlands! They are the very reason I made physical CDs of To Be Frank, as they informed me that they would love to review the EP but they only do physical reviews (CD/vinyl). I mailed them a copy of To Be Frank along with our 2nd album, the Awakening EP, and this is what they had to say of both projects and The Band Famous in general:

LaCaverna.net, based in Mexico, shares a wonderful review in Spanish! GRACIAS! Translated from Spanish, they wrote: "The Band Famous provides a sounding experience in "Champion Mindset" that I am impressed with. We're already used to the kind of uplifting music that feels a bit generic, but The Band Famous finds a fairly unique way to talk about this message about the pursuit of success through hard work. I think that's why he deserves his place here, because I feel he has something interesting to bring to the table."

From The Strait shared The Rundown on July 5th and included "Champion Mindset" in their music blog. They also added "Champion Mindset" to this fun Spotify playlist, Limited Time Only: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3E2V8uvsHRrikZ39WqQDtK, "Champion Mindset" is now available on Spotify.

This is my Pride and anti-bullying song! I wanted to release it special for Pride month, as I proudly identify as a bi, queer, cis female. I’ve faced my fair share of bullying and harassment for simply being authentically myself. Too bad for my haters, I’ll never stop. I soft-released a version of this song on June 26th, 2024, then re-mastered and re-uploaded the track for distribution on July 4th, 2024. This is the current state of the single and music video, but it is possible a remix will be released in the future!

I soft-released a version of this song on June 26th, 2024, then re-mastered and re-uploaded the track for distribution on July 4th, 2024. In this radio archive by Ingrown Records and Ingrown Radio you can hear the original release of "Champion Mindset". I am very grateful to Ingrown Radio and Ingrown Records for believing in "Champion Mindset", even the early stages of the song that I've since re-mastered and re-released!

I soft-released a version of this song on June 26th, 2024, then re-mastered and re-uploaded the track for distribution on July 4th, 2024. In this radio archive by Radio Flames aka Formula Rock you can hear the original release of "Champion Mindset". I am very grateful to Radio Flames and Formula Rock for believing in "Champion Mindset", even the early stages of the song that I've since re-mastered and re-released!

As of May 18th, 2024, The Band Famous music project and off-grid animal rescue sanctuary is now run solely by co-founding member, producer, singer-songwriter, Norell. Thank you for your continued support via music sales, becoming a patron, and all the ways in which you show support! All proceeds raised directly help The Band Famous animal rescue sanctuary.

New Documentary Out Now, Uncensor The Band Famous! See the Official Press Release:

To Be Frank, the EP by The Band Famous was released at the start of this year, and Mermaid Energy, the third single off this EP, is already worldwide! Shout out to Heatwave! in Brazil! A music blog and radio show that featured and reviewed our very own Mermaid Energy! Being in the beautiful and giant country of Brazil, the review is written in Portuguese, but many browsers can easily translate it so you can read it in your primary language. :) Newsletter coming soon with the full translation of what they have to say about our song. Check it out! Thank You, Heatwave! music blog & radio for this wonderful feature on Mermaid Energy! WE LOVE YOU, BRAZIL!

To Be Frank, the EP by The Band Famous is a 5th dimensional journey! Venture into outer space with the far out vibes of “Space Jam”, then travel back in time to the lost city of Atlantis, back at the beginning, with “Mermaid Energy”. Rediscover the meaning of universal laws with “Golden Rule”, then you can be “On Top”. Sounds like indie rock meets alternative, pop metal and industrial.

The time has come to unveil a very special project but to know what that project is you will have to check out this article on Pokémon GO Hub! Thank you to Avrip and all of Pokémon GO Hub, PvPoke, and all of the wonderful people that make up the community! We are thrilled to be a part of it all and can't wait to share this special project with all who are interested.

This is a song Norell did on a live-stream, then later stripped down, layering more vocals, electric guitar, loops and other fun things and what resulted is this kind of splash wave track. There is an extended version out as well. Shout out to Zander for suggesting more underwater vocals and bubbles, which were all too fun to implement into this single! We hope you dig the vibe.

This is an audio engineered cut from a song produced entirely by Zander. Norell jumped on board for fun. This single is not part of any album, it's just for fun, and has been released on Bandcamp and is on the way to every music platform! Check out "On Top" - remixes coming soon! There is an extended version out as well. If you're interested in remixing this track simply email us at [email protected] and if we love it and decide to release it we will share proceeds 50/50!

This is an audio engineered cut from a live improvised performance by Norell. This single is not part of any album, it's just for fun, and has been released on Bandcamp and is on the way to every music platform! Check out "Golden Rule" - remixes coming soon! If you're interested in remixing this track simply email us at [email protected] and if we love it and decide to release it we will share proceeds 50/50!

Kurt Cobain inspired The Band Famous. That's right! Lead singer/songwriter and co-producer, Norell, made this collage of Kurt Cobain playing guitar under the Wishkaw Bridge in college. It remains a favorite of the artist and fans alike, so by request we have put it on a Tee. Thank you for your support! Check out the Kurt Cobain coffee/tea/beverage-of-choice mug in the shop, too! This art piece and design is in loving memory of Kurt Cobain, 02.20.67 - 04.05.94.

This is an audio engineered cut from a live improvised performance by Norell. This single is not part of any album, it's just for fun, and has been released along with brand new merchandise at The Band Famous Etsy Shop in celebration of Norell's birthday month!
