Their name coming from a verse in a ring-play folk song, Black Them Boots is an American rock outfit.
BOOM-BOOM-BOOM ...less is more.
"Black Them Boots can charm any listener into submission with simple, straight-forward post-punk indie that bursts with radio-friendly choruses." -Audiotier
"If you like old school indie rock with lots of guitar sliding and careening everywhere, then Black Them Boots are in all seriousness just the thing." -Brian Phillips, Palestra Music
"Two thumbs up... it brought a few tears to my eyes, it was very heartfelt."
-Nate Sherwood, Skateboard.com
"Black Them Boots have a sound at once oddly familiar and head-turningly original... almost sounds like English guys playing American guitars."
-Dean Bonzani, Flagstaff Live!, Arizona
"Fancy is a great debut from a promising band that I suspect we will be hearing more about in the years to come; that is, if heartbreak doesn't kill them first." -Indie Rock Cafe
"Don't Look Back" ranked 3rd in the Top Ten Indie Songs of the Week, 8/4-11/09. -Indie Rock Cafe
"You guys are like a female version of The Breeders."
-Cameron Webb (producer, Social Distortion, Motörhead)
"Mark this one as a rare win. Black Them Boots has an endearing simplicity about them. Fancy is a modern Californian take on a rather retro punk-rock delivery."
-Sutton, Stadiums and Shrines
