   About France and The Habsburgs
We are France & The Habsburgs, from the North East of England, Sunderland to be more precise

We hope you enjoy the music...


'France and The Habsburgs are one of the most refreshingly exciting new bands around at the moment, using the post-punk aesthetic entirely to their advantage to create brilliantly raw songs'
Narc Magazine, November 2009

'Their sound is angular, brittle, shot through the middle with both post-punk infuenced white fuck, a brave disregard for traditional structure, and an instinctive feel for the pop hook.
Narc Magazine, November 2009

'They sound like a lost package from 1982 that’s only just reached its destination twenty-seven years later.'
Einstein Music Journal

Kingsley decided to privately message me on Facebook about you guys, so I thought it must have been important.

I'm impressed. He was right!
