    Artist description
    To attempt to describe the enigma that is "Fred Savage and the Unbeatables" is to attempt the impossible. The english language itself could not do justice to the complexity and sheer intelligence of this band. They have granted one interview during their tenure as "The Greatest Band Ever Formed", and even then the reporter was not allowed to so much as glimpse at their beautiful faces. The aura and mystery surrounding them can sometimes be suffocating for even the strongest of humans. They do things and act in ways that no one will understand except the geniuses themselves. One of the most lauded rock journalists/critics of all time, Scoop Henderson, had this to say of FSU: "To call them a 'band' doesn't really do them justice. You can't just group them with all those other 'people' that play 'music'. It's so much more than that. FSU is an experience, a feeling in your gut. Something that you can not describe to someone who has not experienced it first hand. Had it shoved in their face and jammed down their throats and seap out their pores. I love them. Especially Zack." As you can see, FSU is not something tangible or finite. You must eat them, drink them, feel them, live them. Oh yeah and FSU rocks... hard.

    Artist History
    FSU was not "formed". There is no "history". It was always a feeling that the friends had in their stomachs. Something that they knew they must create to fulfill all of their collective musical destinies. So from that day forward, "The Day of Reckoning" as it is now called, FSU was born. No one spoke of FSU in bad tongues, for all involved knew it would succeed and bring unparalleled success. To this day, FSU has kept that image in their mind, the idea that all kids, fat, tall, short, dumb, and smart can live the existence that is "FSU".
