The Westport Minuteman wrote: "Long before Kevin Bacon became a household name with such hit films as 'Footloose,' 'A Few Good Men' and 'The Woodsman' … he was writing songs on his own and playing percussion in Philadelphia coffeehouses with his brother Michael and others. So, it is no surprise that the Bacon Brothers — Kevin and Michael — lifelong musicians, have formed a band that has several albums, including their latest, 'White Knuckles,' plus an ever-growing fan base. … The Bacon Brothers hallmark has been writing songs, which through bare self-expression and humor, echo the lives of their audience. It is an art they have refined in their albums and on tour. The latest release, 'White Knuckles,' kicks into overdrive with such songs as 'Unhappy Birthday,' with its message of healing, the heartbreak of 'Tuesday' or the yearning of 'Get Away with It.' … Backed by Paul Guzzone on bass/vocals, Marshal Rosenberg on percussion, Frank Vilardi on drums and Ira Siegel on electric guitar, the Bacon Brothers put fame aside and do what it takes to make the music sing" ("Bacon Brothers to Play …," 4/3/08).
