   About The Folk Yous
Two girls with big love for power ballads...and lo-fi home recordings.

"Betraying the adherance to aloof stupidity that is almost a requirement for any band likely to be categorized as a "side project", The Folk Yous really mean it. While it's not clear exactly what they mean I'm convinced of their sincereity nonetheless. The Folk Yous perform sweet, double layer vocals resting on top of thoughtfully strummed guitar and ukulele. But don't fool yourself into thinking this duo (who could concievably expand full force into an 'Up With People'-like ensemble) is just fluff with no chops. Chops are the foundation. Everything else is secondary. The Folk Yous change the paradigm(like THE SOFTIES before them) such that any tough-guy rock-n-rollers in their audience leave the show wanting to sound just like them. But what about the songs? Oh, the songs! While I've only been privy to a select group of covers the band has unveiled I've no doubt that if they want to expand into the original pop song marketplace their compositions would be regularly requested. So far the band has shown their skill at reworking classic rock into something other than a blase corporate memory hole. I would have previously thought it impossible for anything or anyone to give depth to Asia or REO Speedwagon. When the Folk Yous play you're just as likely to fall in love as you are to fall over drunk. Add that to the experience of watching the only thing in the world that makes Journey palatable and you've got yourself a damn fine time."

LOL this is crazy! And it only works if you have Internet Explorer (I think). You have to go to www . retwistic . com (no spaces) and then after it loads you need to hit the back button or else the funny video won't come up. If that doesn't work then hit the forward button instead.

Uh, would it bother you that I pasted up pictures of the FY's all over my living room? And only listen to "Don't Cry" on the repeat, and when any other song in my presence is played say THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE FOLK YOUS, and then make grunty noises?

Seriously, the guitar work on "Don't Cry" is frickin' metal (I didn't even know you could do those runs on acoustic--or, I suppose, I'd never tried) and the harmonies are just shattering.
