The Paper Box | Brooklyn, NYC

Heavy rock fueled by beer and aggression... a little metal, a little hardcore, all while toeing the line between melody and intensity with introspective existential lyrics. ====== REVIEWS ====== "It is a rarity these days to find this sort of gem let alone find the talent to be able to create and convey this passion. Fear Report’s music is honest, straightforward, emotional, and most importantly, it totally rocks!" -IndieMusicReviewer "Spitting and snarling their way out of New York, Fear Report could just be about to save the world of rock 'n' roll." -Rock Sound, Issue 132 "Two things are key here, maybe a third. One is the immense rhythm section which is both precise and relentless. Second is the guitar work; Fear Report could steal a page from many current modern acts and simply offer massive riffage in chord arrangements. But not this clan. There's some hearty and hefty guitar solos here. The third might be the depth of the song arrangements. While the songs are cast in a heavy motif, there's adequate creativity, melody, hook, and variation to make the songs both intriguing and entertaining." - Dangerdog Music Reviews "...this record just flat out rocks. What I love most about this band is that they come across like a damn good group of real dudes. This stuff comes from the heart. It's real. It's dark and painful at times, positive and inspirational at times, and pretty much runs the gamut across human emotional experience (you know, like real life)." - Rockthought.com
