The New Fidelity is on fire. Increasingly approached by radio, TV and film companies for
song placements, the band will bleed into your homes imminently, if it hasn’t already.
Decked out in their sharp suits and completely immersed in their own unique spin on
60’s influenced mod power pop, The New Fi’s talented members consistently deliver
tight songs more finely tailored than a classic mohair suit.
The New Fi’s music has already been featured on prime-time television shows on ABC,
NBC, The WB and FuelTV with more placements to come.
Rodney Bingenheimer is a big fan of the band, regularly playing tracks from and
heralding their latest CD ‘Tiny Slivers’on KROQ’s Rodney on the ROQradio show in Los
Angeles, where The New Fi also receive occasional spins on Indie 103.1 and Star 98.7. The band also was played on
KCRW’S Morning Becomes Eclectic with Nic Harcourt and enjoyed an instant jump in
interest from a whole new audience. The Tiny Slivers CD is garnering repeated airplay on
popular stations nationwide, as well as appearing on internet stations including MOD
Radio UK, Canadian Music Rocks and Indie Pop Rocks.
The New Fi made its first movie appearance performing in a dance club scene in the
upcoming independent film We Are The Mods and more performances on the silver
screen are planned for 2009 and beyond, including the possible background music to Vespa scooter chase scene in a to-be-released independent film featured Henry Winkler!!
Performing club dates with regularity, the band is just as at home at scooter rallies and
on festival stages where they can seamlessly mix their original songs with covers of Mod
and Soul classics.
Influences include British Pop Rock such as Small Faces, The Who and The Beatles with
healthy portions of Motown and Stax, mixed with punk and post-punk sensibilities such
as the Clash and the Jam.
Move on up to The New Fidelity!

“One of the current ‘Hot 100 2009” unsigned artists in the Los Angeles area.”
--Music Connection Magazine
“There is nothing diminutive about the tuneful and glorious songs on the New Fidelity's sophomore release Tiny Slivers. The Long Beach-based quartet celebrates melodic songwriting and strong vocal harmonies across the full length of the 11-song disc. From the infectious ‘Baby's Back in Town’ to the melodic jangle pop-rock of ‘No Way Back,’ the sound of the disc shimmers from start to finish. There is a nod to 60’s psychedelic with the retro-winning ‘Miss You Like You're Dead.’ This is not the slick 2000’s pop-rock of the Click Five, but rather blends pop heroes from the 1970’s (think Raspberries), 80’s (Squeeze comes to mind) and early 90’s (Teenage Fanclub, Jellyfish).”
--Robert Kinsler, Orange County Register
“Aside from their masterful harmonies, the New Fidelity sound nothing like the Beach Boys and everything like the soundtrack to an 80s movie that was never made. Take the wistfully danceable ‘Casa Grande’ for instance, about a ‘sunny winters day bike ride through Long Beach.’ John Cusack should be on that bike! Or ‘First Day,’ about doing dishes in your apartment and reflecting on the way that love sometimes walks into your life . . . and fucks it up! Molly Ringwald is doing those dishes right now! Seriously!”
--Alison Rosen, OC Weekly
“Layers of sublime nuance and easy-to-enjoy, hard driving guitar melodies. You..ll find elements of American garage, soul, jangly mod-pop power pop all mixed up in this honest, gritty and splashingly refreshing slab of tailored energized music. Extremely Highly Recommended.”
--Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame Recordings
"Following the Cold War Kids [on stage that night] were the power-pop Long Beach quartet The New Fidelity, reinvigorating the stage with their masterful harmonies and pretty-boy good looks. Come 12:30AM the Prospector was still packed and begging for more. So the New Fi appeased the crowd with a double encore and finished the night with a bang. "
--Kristina Benson, L.A. Record
“Fall in love (as usual) with New Fi's adorable, skinny-tied modness!”
--Rebecca Schoenkopf, The District Weekly
