Massy Ferguson have put together an excellent mix of rock and country
twang on their very impressive debut record
-- John Richards, 90.3FM KEXP Morning Show Host and
Associate Program Director
| Check out the new review of Massy done by WXPN:
"Seattle's Massy Ferguson have an excellent new album called Cold Equations that will be of some interest to those of you into Skynyrd, the Drive-By Truckers, and early Son Volt. Their debut full length is an impressive record ... these are more-than-convincing roots rockers fronted by a convincing and memorable lead singer in Ethan Anderson's aching heartland growl. There's Springsteen-esque touches [and] hints of old Whiskeytown in the mix from this up and coming Pacific Northwest band." -- Bruce Warren, Producer and Assistand Program Director, WXPN 88.5 FM Philadelphia

Seattle's Massy Ferguson has taken their raucous rock americana to the far reaches of the globe. In the past three years, the four-piece band has played shows in
Melbourne, Australia, Munich, Germany and Puerto Pinasco, Mexico, to name just a few destinations.
Despite this penchant for the international, Massy Ferguson remains local to the bone, a fixture on the burgeoning Seattle roots music scene that has spawned the likes of
Brandi Carlisle and The Fleet Foxes. With an approach that is decidedly more rock than the aforementioned groups, Massy Ferguson combines growling vocals with epic guitar
riffs and banging piano to create a sound that is equally burly and soulful. Tracing their influences to bands like The Jayhawks, The Hold Steady and Bruce Springsteen,
the group plays its own brand of blue-collar twang rock. Read the whole story...
