"San Fran psychopaths craft skull-collapsing post-punk, wiry (and Wire-y) guitars twitching over steady chugging rhythms." - Rolling Stone "Art Rock trio, French Miami, have wowed San Francisco with their jagged guitar riffs and throbbing synths. The gritty style is irresistibly catchy and their boisterous live performances have earned them a reputation as a local favorite." - CMJ
"Their electric kool-aid post-punk is stilted by Telecasters winding up the same kind of prickly riffs that bands like Battles and Fiasco usually turn into proggy freak outs, but instead of going all aggro, French Miami end up sounding like a Guy Picciotto band that wouldn't need SPF1000 at the beach." - RCRD LBL
"We thought they were those Chester French guys but were proven wrong very quickly by a distinct sound that rattled our interest...its a fun band that mixes it up well ...we hardly had to hassle their label to send our readers free swag - easy to work with and easy to listen to
- we really dig 'em and think they are the god damn best!" - MCB
