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.
What People Who Like To Run Their Mouths Say About Us:
"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
"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 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 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
"What the world needs now is a bit of no nonensense clean living pop music and that is what Beware Fashionable Women provide. Their self titled album is ten tracks of pop fun that will surely find a welcome on your car stereo." - Bluesbunny Independent Music
"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
Autumns beautiful magic transforms Summer into Winter. The brilliant colors, the cool breeze, & frosty nights signal excitement of upcoming holidays. Listen to the harmonic laughter of beautiful people, the honk of migrating geese or the purr of happy cat . Sweet Blessings, Rhonda Grace
