Frontman Nicholas
Walsh recently checked in with the following update: “Just letting
you all know that we’ve been prepping for our official debut release. We have
done a photo shoot with renowned photographer Darko and have been finishing up
the artwork as well as the mixes on our bonus tracks. Though we have been in the
studio tracking some ‘new, new’ songs, those will only see the light of day for
our upcoming live performances, and will not be a part of our debut release.
They will be reserved for F.U. #2. Thanks goes out to all of our Canadian fans
for all of your support since the beginning. It’s time to share your homeboys
and girl with the rest of the world.”

According
to a press release, Famous Underground’s sound and music is
edgy, melodic and hooky bringing a paradigm shift to the arena of rock. It’s
been said, that they have created something fresh and exciting in an otherwise
stagnated genre. With the conclusion that no-one has definitive
comparisons, Carl Begai writer with elite hard rock/metal
magazine BW&BK describes the new recording as
“it’s a darker if-METALLICA-were-GUNS N’ ROSES direction with this
brand new album.”
Famous
Underground’s self-titled studio release produced by Nick Walsh, and
mixed by Darius Szczepaniak (THE BLACK CROWES, SACRIFICE) at
Rouge Valley Studio in Toronto. The new recording takes Walsh’s writing to a
more defined state where the lyrics delve more into the complexities of the real
world.
These
musicians have independently garnered critical acclaim supporting such acts
as MÖTLEY CRÜE, DEF LEPPARD, KID ROCK, BLACK SABBATH, BILLY TALENT,
YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, APRIL WINE and many other international acts.
