Better Than Bacon is a Rock 'n' Roll band based out of Fort Collins, Colorado.
In a musical age of smoke-and-mirrors musicianship and snake-oil salesmanship, this band moves the Rocky Mountains with a throwback formula: passionate performances featuring scorching electric guitar, well-crafted songs with substance and soul, and a thumping rhythm section to match any mood.
The word is getting out and the reviews are rolling in...
"As the name suggests; bold, savory, greasy and full of fatty substance. It’s good old-fashioned Rock and Roll, with sides of funk, soul, and blues all sautéed in psychedelic jams. Hailing from Fort Collins, these boys know how to serve up a beat fit for any musical palate." - Colorado Music Buzz
"Overall, the entire album is a well-constructed journey that has an intriguingly classic tone - mixing elements of blues, funk, soul, rock, psychedelic and jam with sizzling guitar, Better Than Bacon, plays like a band straight out of a bygone era" - Music Marauders.com
"With gritty lyrics, funky and soulful melodies, full-on rock and roll guitar licks and overall musical talent, the band reminds me of a Widespread Panic type - this band does not disappoint, as their soulful southern jams satisfy the same tastes as their greasy namesake" - Mousike Magazine
"A more old-school approach of trying to honor the spirit and emotion of the music" - Vail Daily
"The show was a rocking spectacle with the right amount of give and take, with attention to songwriting and crafting great music - the balance between James' crisp vocals and Ryan's soulful voice add a rich dynamic to the performance." - Music Marauders.com
