"Keep a very close eye on the people in the picture - they are going to explode! — into your clubs, theaters, and concert halls. I am excited to introduce to you, F1rst Class Citizen. If all goes well for this band, and it should, I predict HUGENESS! I was lucky enough to be at their first live gig on Saturday night…funny thing is, you’d never know it was their first gig! This band has it all; incredible musicianship, great image, and unique, fun, and totally accessible music. Unless you absolutely abhor all types of rock music, you will find something you like in their lyrics, harmonies, and hooks. I love that they call their genre “sex rock”! It fits like perfectly worn-in jeans - Sexy, sexy, sexy! And I don’t just mean how they look; it’s about how they swagger, and play off of one another, and how the music makes you feel…ya know what I mean?! OH YEAH…like that! http://www.f1rstclasscitizen.com" - Lisa Walters, After The Encore
***Concert Fan***-"I plan on being at as many shows as im able to make. FCC just took a fat shit on ALL underground bands. You've all started a new musical revolution. I'm playing my guitar again. Got new strings. You've inspired me to never stop evolving." ***Concert Fan***
"This local super group of sorts formed out of five very different corners of the world and the paparazzi have been on their ass from day one of their inception. Xander, the pink hair evangelist, is on a mission to spread the FCC disease, Shawn, who's been caught more times with his pants down than Lindsay Lohan, Ryan who has a habit of romancing the sock, Lydia aka 'Lyd Vicious' not only does she sing and play guitar she also paints with her own blood, and trapped behind the drums for 15 years Whippo has escaped and is now ready to join society as a F1RST CLASS CITIZEN." - Mark Gilmore - 98 Rock
"This powerful supergroup would like to "thank" all of their paparazzi for the continued support and is excited to be nominated for the category of "Best Hard Rock"" - The DNS Agency, News Blaze
