Rashie Rosenfarb (vocals, mandolin, bass) partnered up with fellow musician Matt Francis (drums, guitar, pedal noise), and started Feral Conservatives in 2011.

Started as a mandolin/organ focused side project, Rashie and Matt injected garage-rock elements to round out the current Feral Conservatives sound. The band has self-released two EPs and self-booked an East Coast/New England tour in 2013, eventually leading them back to the studio.
