PRAISE FOR MONTY WARREN & THE FRIGGIN WHATEVERS!
Authentic old-school, Beatles-Stones-Dylan-Band-Dead-Prince-inspired, psychedelic-white soul-funky roots rock. I like that Monty & the Friggin Whatevers have a sense of humor, play their own instruments and are being as earnest, lyrical, raunchy or grandiose as their songs—and maybe lives?—require.
—Howard Mandel, Jazz Beyond Jazz (Arts Journal Blog)
Good ol' Rock-n-Roll. I wish there were more tunes like this being produced.

LET'S GO TO THERAPY (2nd Album - 2012)
Music Reviewer: Chris Parker, Indy Week
These dozen songs are crisply constructed and enthusiastically executed with bar-band vigor, qualities that speak to his prior association with Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass Kickin' Team. Warren's got a gift for infectious hooks, and he builds durable sing-song choruses that don't go stale…Truly excellent: the puckish Nick Lowe-like title track (Let’s Go to Therapy), the New Wave head-bobber Ain't Got Nothin and the slow-burning In the Distance.
The album retroactively bridges the gap between '70s pub rock/power pop and the arrivals of Tom Petty, Graham Parker and Elvis Costello. But it's almost effortlessly enjoyable, a virtue without expiration.”

TRAILER PARK ANGEL (2008)
"...From gritty foot-stompers to jangly roots and blues
belters to acoustic melancholy, Warren's debut brims with a rare and raw musical
sincerity-one which proves his aim to be true..."-Gerry Krochak, Vex
Magazine, Calgary, Canada
