“Grizzled. Scraggly. Scruffy. Craggy. If Sergio Leone hosted a backyard barbecue, The Pine Box Boys would be tailor made to serenade any crusty cusses in attendance. These guys can play.”

“Murder ballads one after the other, and, not halfway through, enough to make you queasy. Especially the indelible little number ‘The Beauty in Her Face,’ which goes as far into the mind of a killer as anyone needs to. You know how it s going to end before the first verse does, and you spend the rest of the song trying to make it come out differently.”
—GREIL MARCUS, INTERVIEW MAGAZINE
“Like the name implies, they mostly sing about death, murder and misery. But with a splendid dose of humor so it stays legal after all. All this with a musical hint of Bluegrass Americana and gothic country. In case you are thinking ‘I recognize this from the now oohhhhh so popular Hayseed Dixie and Boss Hoss’ then this is the advise: slay those albums, burn your t-shirts, and look out for The Pine Box Boys. Not only more entertainment, but also a lot more orignal.”

“String pluckin’, fiddle on fire, and punked out bluegrass from a bunch of guys you wouldn’t want on your bad side in a fight. Slam some whiskey and do the jig. If you see only one show this month, make it this one. Trust me. Even if you aren’t that into bluegrass and Americana, The Pine Box Boys will blow your mind.”
