"It's only logical that a band with a studio producer for a bassist and an experimental composer would stitch together something clean but expansive, catchy yet contemplative. A stylish four-piece of L.A. musicians, "atmosphere hounds" Foreign born toss in a fair amount of rocking as well."
-CMJ April 2005

"The French Kicks have managed to wrestle free of typecasting to produce music that's uncharacteristically sophisticated and upbeat, with carefully crafted vocal melodies in a vaguely 60s soul-group style and jangling guitar." -Edward Helmore, Vanity Fair

"The band's fun-house blend of influences make the French Kicks a blast of fresh air on a rock scene that's full of dullard rap-rock and myopic indie rock." -Ethan Brown, New York Magazine

  11. Just Like Me
  12. Jet Lag
"Lapalco is a collection of catchy, alternately rollicking and quietly bittersweet odes to introspection that are as universal as the late night, semi-drunken answering machine message or the love note you never quite had the guts to send. He doesn't so much vacillate between ambivalence and declaration as he plays one against the other. It's the tension between carefully-crafted and tossed-off, looking inward and rocking out, that gives Lapalco its homemade-arena-rock appeal and invites the listener back for another look." -CHRIS HANDYSIDE, RollingStone

The Television meets the Rolling Stones? Fugazi meets the Kinks? You decide. We're getting the label started off right with this Brooklyn quartet's second record. Produced by Greg Talenfeld (Jon Spencer, Jonathan Fire Eater) this album contains brilliant melodies, amazing harmonies, trashy guitars, and more musical goodness packed into six songs than we thought possible.

"If you were one of those people who tuned out of rock'n'roll for a while, preferring not to gaze at its exquisite corpse, it is time to rush back for a viewing. The beast is rising again. Consider the New York-based Walkmen whose debut-album cover features a band of street urchins smoking cigarettes con gusto and whose music sounds as if those urchins had been set loose to badger and loot all the stores in Manhattan." -Jim Nelson, GQ

"Energetic power pop full of pulsating rhythms, slashing guitars, and sneering, amphetamine-fueled vocals." -Alternative Press

"High cheekbones and studied cynicism are nowhere to be found on Listen to the Night, the album simply packs in one wit-laden nugget after another...TeamUSA refuses to let a witty turn of phrase get in the way of the Universal Friday Night rock dynamic". 3 1/2 out of 5 stars -Austin Chronicle
