The Forest Rangers are an eclectic band closely associated with the world of television soundtracks, most notably for their contributions to the gritty motorcycle club drama "Sons of Anarchy." The band was formed by the show's music supervisor and composer, Bob Thiele Jr., to fulfill the series' unique musical needs, often providing atmospheric scores, poignant accompaniments to emotional scenes, and gritty covers reflective of the show's edgy themes. The Forest Rangers include a rotating lineup of musicians and vocalists, allowing the band to adapt to a wide range of styles, from rock and blues to folk and beyond.

Their work on "Sons of Anarchy" has garnered The Forest Rangers critical acclaim, and they've breathed new life into classic tracks with their distinctive covers such as "All Along the Watchtower" and "Boots of Spanish Leather." The band's ability to create a transformative soundscape has also led them to contribute to the spiritual successor of "Sons of Anarchy," the series "Mayans M.C.," where they continued their tradition of enhancing the narrative through music. Tracks like "Black Is Black" from "Mayans M.C." show their ongoing relevance and skill in setting the scene with their characteristic sound. The band exists in a unique niche, crafting music that not only compliments the visual medium but also stands on its own as evocative and compelling listening.
