Beware Fashionable Women (BFW to their friends), collectively are respectable musicians who possess the ability to be the worst celebrities. They are four guys who look exactly like any other four guys you would find in a local ma and pa music shop or record store.
No, you won't find their picture gracing the cover of their album. Their sweaters hold as much appeal as their faces do. What you will find however is a collection of songs that cover all the bases of the great potential of indie rock (whatever that means anymore).
BFW appreciate the irony of They Might Be Giants, the dire lyrical nature of The Eels, and the melodic sweetness of Elvis Costello. Why must a band only encompass one version of that vague idea that is pop music? BFW understands that labels, managers, bookers, and indeed the listening public would much prefer a band that stuck to one thing and repeated themselves into oblivion. The inclusion of jazz voicings, Beach Boy harmonies, and Latin rhythms is only a sliver of the variety the band explores to break up the monotony that often defines their genre.
"...Rivers Cuomo of Weezer started a session on Indaba to procure help from the community on one of his latest demos. After working closely with several Indaba members, he chose the version by Beware Fashionable Women. Now, Rivers is going to write lyrics for the song and finish it off, using Beware's version as the basis. This song will be included on a solo album to be released next year." - Indaba Music
Top 25 Reviews of 2009 "Smart, tuneful pop-rock with tight vocal harmonies, subtle instrumentation and intriguing scenerios describes BFW...this band is absolutely deserving of label, film/TV attention." - Music Connection Magazine
Top 12 Local Bands of 2009 "...just about every song is loaded with sweet harmonies and bright, rocking choruses." - Pittsburgh Post Gazette
Top 25 Bands of 2008 "The bottom line is the music knocks it out of the proverbial park with terrific harmonies, finger tapping rhythms and the guitar work that spells H.I.T." - Indie-Music.com
"The band’s name and artwork muses on vibrant 60’s Audrey Hepburn stylings…a musical force of nature with a penchant for writing indelible pop hooks and sun-soaked harmonies, songs made for summer." - Sentimentalist Magazine
"BFW’s sound captures that ironic alt-rock we all love from the 90’s. They remind me of bands like Weezer, Blink 182 and They Might Be Giants in certain ways. They also have some sweet Beach Boys-esque harmonies..." - WYEP 91.3 FM
"Their largely strong and immediately enjoyable self-titled release hearken to mid-career Nada Surf, Phantom Planet, and Old 97s, a good thing, due to vocal and instrumentation similarities...talented, fun band with a great amount of potential, musicality, and songwriting chops." - Dig This Real
"...sharp, complex power pop, refreshingly devoid of garage swagger or indie pretension...you'd probably never object to the melody-driven pop songs that BFW deliver..." - Pittsburgh City Paper
"The contradiction of the light-hearted melodies and Beach Boys-esque harmonies make this album a positive indicator of the future of BFW." - The Owl Magazine
"BFW write songs that remind me of Teenage Fanclub, (sometimes even early Stereolab with Brian Wilson singing backups) and they approach their marketing in pretty much the same way TFC did too. The good news is - Teenage Fanclub wrote great pop songs. BFW does too."
- Music Zeitgeist
"Reminiscent of Phantom Planet and all things pop, though in a good way." - Wonka Vision Magazine
"…truly talented, hardworking independent artists…Beware Fashionable Women is a prime example of indie artists who work doggedly for their music to be heard."
" - Tracer Magazine
"BFW has put together an engaging debut album that manages to be fresh while still paying homage to its musical predecessors. Fans of BFW will be pleased with the band's first outing - I was." - Unrated Magazine
