"The dead have risen! Not the Grateful Dead. Like the actual, once-alive dead. And they're playing kick-ass 70's garage punk to boot! This is loud, rude and scary. But in a good way, not in an Ashlee Simpson way."
-Impact Press
"...it's hard to be anything but compelled by [Black Eyes & Neckties'] passion. On stage, Black Eyes were completely unhinged...It was just the dose of the raucous good ol' days I needed."
-The Seattle Stranger
"Black Eyes and Neckties cater to adrenaline addicts who go strictly for the raw energy this band disperses in buckets — or for anyone simply looking for something new. The theatrics of the live show by this talented rock band should encourage those who have not experienced something like this to be taken into another world." -The Santa Fe New Mexican

"a fierce outing of angst-ridden garage-punk" -KEXP
"Black Flag meets Black Sabbath" -The Cascadia Weekly
"A Rock-and-Punk blender with a healthy appreciation of early-era At The Drive-In" -The Spokane Inlander
Black Eyes and Neckties have been a band since October 2002. We enjoy long van rides, gallons of whiskey, clever word play, swimming pool tours of America, gas station leg drumming, eating safeway manwiches, reading mid-90's playboys, and making fun of each other. We also play rock and roll music.
i love you guys. the walla walla show a couple weeks ago with the russians was amazing. i walk around with your signed shirt and everyone asks me who the fist is haha yeah!
do you guys think you will come back to wenatchee some time soon? i need more BE&NT after that show at the basement. by the way, that show was fucking incredible!
last night was incredible guys. I've been listening to appartion! nearly on repeat since I got it, but last night was my first chance to see the circus live. wow. I hope none of the semi-pro wrestling fans stalked Josh after the set... Can't wait for the next show. Front row: Funhouse. I am there.
hi guys! I will be in bellingham on the 13th! I am hoping to make it to see you guys... otherwise I will see you for sure on the 25th in Spokane.. and you are more than welcome to have another slumber party in my small house!!
"If you could play a show with any local, and or national, band who would it be? BH: Well I can't speak for everyone in the band, but I am going to anyway. Ryan: Mars Volta, Dave: Wu Tang Clan, Rich: Iron Maiden, Brenda: Modest Mouse, Josh: Britney Spears, Me: Bruce Springsteen. "
