"Payne is a funny guy, but there’s no way Furious Frank’s music could work without a lot of hard work. That kind of work ethic is apparent on songs like “Another Life,” and “The Coroner of Drifters Creek.” These tracks showcase a band that, for all their quirks, make truly orchestrated music that shouldn’t work, but does...it’s infectious"
-Ben Larson, Fort Wayne Reader, 5/2010
“On The Hobocamp Mud Show, Chicago collective Furious Frank transports listeners to a random watering hole in
the middle of America, where the year is uncertain but the music is magnetic... It's familiar and unexpected all at
once.”
-Max Herman, Illinois Entertainer 4/2010
Putting out an altogether appealing brand of folk rock is Furious Frank, a rhythm and horn driven group that is a distinctly American answer to Gogol Bordello…Every off key and disconcerting lyric is situated for full effect, and the results are assuredly fun.”
-Jordan Brown, IndieCollision, 4/21/2010
"...Furious Frank is a group rather than one irate individual, and that communal spirit lends itself to an amiable vibe
belying its surly moniker. The outfit's scrappy kitchen-sink concoctions easily rally an eager audience."
-TimeOut Chicago 12/2009
“Coming at your ears with near-criminal intent, "The Hobocamp Mud Show" is a wild and wonderful offering of sonic roots-rock with a slight Caribbean twist… A glorious romp from start to finish.”
