Something Fierce are a Houston punk trio whom Free Press Houston described variously as garage punk and pop punk, comparing their sound to a mix of The Clash and Buzzcocks. The archive holds their 2009 Westheimer Block Party appearance, and an early listing names them among the Summer Fest performers on a Mayhem on Main bill at the Continental Club. Coverage through 2016 shows them regularly supporting all-ages bills across the city.
