"...The Rabies scare me in a very good way...The Rabies are destined to bring horror rock into the mainstream much like the White Stripes did to garage..." - Procession Magazine-Kelly Davidson
"...steeped in horror movies and comic books, The Rabies offer a ghoulish and energetic show that has made them one of the Queen City's must-see live acts..." - Artvoice Magazine-Mark Norris
"...this is more like it: the spirit of Drop Dead boiled up and distilled into a slug of sonic firewater...if you’re wondering which US band will be the next to give the European scene a good blasting, I think I might just have found them." - Starvox - Uncle Nemesis
"...The Rabies are horror fiends at their core, and they have what it takes to win over the black heart of any horror punk fanatic." - Rue Morgue Magazine - Al
"...The Rabies are making a name for themselves with haunting keyboards and an all-together sharp and catchy pop sensibility...these B-movie junkies breathe fresh air into festering corpses of punk, death rock, and new wave. Very few bands that dabble in these styles of rock have both tight musicians and charismatic singers..." - Rockin' Bones - Robert Jimison
"...a breath of fresh air in a genre dominated by bad Danzig imitations and uninspired hardcore shouting...The Rabies have succeeded in creating a timeless sound that is both fun and creepy..." - Rock Fiend Int. - Big Tony O'Farrell
"...January of 2003 saw five of the best musicians Buffalo has to offer come together and begin to tear the city apart...I am very impressed with all of the musicianship...every member has a job to do and they are to this band what formaldehyde is to a mortician..." - Black Angel Promotions - Andy Burke

Bio
****SOON TO BE UPDATED****
Be afraid of The Rabies. Be very afraid. Hailing from the underbelly of Buffalo, NY, The Rabies emerged in 2003 and have since then acquired a faithful following; all claiming to have been "infected" by this new buzz. With their concoction of new wave, punk, and in-your-face rock-n-roll, The Rabies aren't here for a campfire sing along...they're here to wake the dead.
Their first album entitled "Get Infected!!!" is currently being played across radio stations in Great Britain, Spain, France, and Australia, as well as college and internet radio stations across the US. It debuted at #21 on the most played albums list at Three D Radio 93.7 FM in Australia for the week ending on 2/9/05 and ranked at #6 on MP3.com in 2004. Their much anticipated new album entitled "Night Terror" is yet to be released and is currently seeking representation.
The Rabies have toured the East Coast and have shared the stage with such veterans as The Buzzcocks, The Dickies, Wilco, Dinah Cancer and Penis Flytrap, and The Adicts. They have also played on the main stage at the largest International horror rock music festival, Drop Dead 2, in NYC in September of 2004 and are scheduled to play on the Shira Girl stage at this years Warped Tour.
They have worked directly with Robby Takac of The Goo Goo Dolls and his Music Is Art organization, and are currently sponsored by Coffin Case custom guitar cases. In April of 2005, they proudly earned the title of "Featured Artist" at girlpunk.net.
No matter how much you dare to resist, they will infect you too...The Rabies are contagious.
