about

What the press is saying:

"French Cassettes are serious about having a good time. With their jangly pop hooks already addictively repeatable, they’re all the more exciting in their feverish riffs and frantic rhythms." -Noise Pop

"Lead singer Scott Huerta is brimming with charisma and sings (shakes and moves on stage) like he’s exercising the lyrics of his perfect pop songs from the deepest part of his soul. Simply the man can sing his ass off and is a fantastic performer." -The Bay Bridged

". . . French Cassettes offer up deliciously addictive tunes that feel undoubtedly like a perfect California Summer." -Oaktown Indie Mayhem

". . . French Cassettes' debut full-length Gold Youth (self-released), is a sunny, upbeat slice of San Francisco life. It's unadulterated indie pop exuberance, the shiny glee of mischievous youth in a extraordinary city under a thick layer of fog." -San Francisco Bay Guardian

". . . French Cassettes a band so genuine in their sound, so undeniably catchy in such an enjoyable way, it’d be a travesty not to say something about them. 'Us Kids' sounds like the very best parts of 90s pop-rock taken to a new level, trimmed of the obnoxious bits and refined down to a pretty fantastic piece of music." -S1deOneTrackOne

"Infusing the loose vibes of their San Francisco origins with a crisp indie-rock arsenal, French Cassettes sound capable of rising to the concisely popular art-rock spectrum, where artists like Phoenix and Local Natives have eclipsed obscurity." -Obscure Sound
