   About Très Bien



Get MEET YOUR MAKER on iTunes!



"...With each passing track, listeners are left with the impression of an unbeatable poker hand, its holders Tres Bien revealing more and more of their ace cards with joyful exuberance. 'Strange Sleep' brings in a kind of choral-and-string dynamic more reminiscent of Moody Blues, while 'Oi Oi' is amusing and punchy, throwing handclaps, up-and-down guitar stutters, and piss n’ vinegar vocals all into the bucket. Title track 'Meet Your Maker' and 'Through My Eyes' finish as the album’s best songs – driving and impulsive, they end Maker with a smash.
...as it stands now, Meet Your Maker succeeds beyond the initial gleam of its retro shtick – fun, rocking, unrepentant, and without a care in the world. Much like Tres Bien themselves."


-Kevin Liedel, MuzikReviews.com


"Tres Bien's performance in New York City this past weekend at the famous Trash Bar was nothing short of stellar....Title track “Meet Your Maker” infectious as it is, shows the bands sound has matured. This go around, they're not knocking on the door, they're kicking it in."

- Hollywood Q, CafeMaroon.com


"Their newest release, Meet Your Maker, belongs in any collection that contains the Kinks, Animals, or even Three Dog Night.
Très Bien has managed to create a sound that is both familiar yet fresh. From the first opening guitar blast of "Seeing Me, Seeing You," the sound is in your face and features an infectious chorus. Songs like "Right and Wrong" and "Imma Man" would have been huge on the AM radio in the late 60's. This is not to say that Très Bien is a nostaliga band, because this young group understands what happens when a clever vocal hook is joined by hyper-kenetic percussion and surf-rock inspired guitar riffs. The album's set piece is the 1-2 punch of the instrjmental track "If You Want Me to Stay" and the title track. An insanely melodic guitar riff is joined by a wall of brass horn that vaporizes into a bit of subtelty, An organ riff provides the first layer for the vocals and guitars in the stunning title track.
Très Bien is a band that deserves a large audience. Some may be tempted to dismiss this band because they were part of the American Idol promotion machine, but please take some time to sample their music. You will not be disappointed."


-Doug Cornell, Hitsession.com


"Meet Your Maker, recorded this past summer in Bostinto's uncle's hunting cabin, shows considerable growth for the band. It's got the trademark hooks and beats but fuller arrangements and more experimentation — the type of album you'd expect to hear from a band that's too poppy to be indie and too indie to be mainstream."

-Julie Garisto, St. Petersburg Times


"Tres Bien's energetic mod-psychedelic-rock mixed with contemporary pop is reminiscent of such acts as Cold War Kids, The Honorary Title and Tilly and the Wall.
Songs like “Meet Your Maker,” had a great Brit-pop sound and showcased the unique vocals (and charisma) of Mikey Bostinto. Bostinto was able to get the crowd excited for the set through his booming stage presence and somewhat corny jokes. Continuing with the catchy and refreshing “Easy to Love Me” and the organ based “The West,” every song had strong drumming and back-up vocals from Ryan Metcalf and intricate folk-rock-esque guitar solos from Michael Crowe."

Captured in Colour

Tree EP

EMUSIC




"...Tres Bien, a Florida power-pop group whose original song 'Your Graceful Soul' is worthy of Lenny Kaye's classic "Nuggets" collection of garage rock..."

- Ted Cox, Daily Herald (Chicago, Illinois)


"Fully embracing the 'That Thing You Do' vibe, this foursome from Clearwater, Florida bop their heads Beatles-style while churning out 60s-inspired power-pop. Think: the perfect openers for The Hives. ...These guys rock!"

- Shirley Halperin, Entertainment Weekly


"...Throughout the album the lead singer frequently squeals like an over- excited Yorkshire terrier which, surprisingly, is not an insult as Captured in Colour is a joyful thrash of a record right. The Strokes-esque guitar rifts of Easy To Love Me help keep things perky and fun whilst the early Green Day sounding punk tracks, Girl You Ain’t Righteous and Two Tablespoons Of Attitude inject the album with an over- healthy dose of rumbling fun. A bumptious indie- rock feast of a record, Très! Bien! appear to live up to their modest continental title. Very! Good! Indeed!"

- Victoria Levitt, www.tastyfanzine.org.uk


"...Tres Bien put it all on the table with their self-titled EP and shake the shingles with their explosive energy, and after just taking it for one spin its rock out vibes let you know it [is] the perfect way to spend twenty minutes..."

- Sam DaMatta, thefirenotefiredrills.blogspot.com


"...'The Way We Know How' is a very poppy, Burt Bacharach kind of track..."

- Phil Andrews, KZSU Stanford


"...fiery psychedelic soul spectacle Tres Bien...Tres Bien hits hard with their catchy psychedelic rock an soul. It’s the 60’s again, and garage rock is full swing, complete with organs and twangy tremolo guitar from this spunky four-piece. Tres Bien has amassed a solid Atlanta fan base, renowned for their high energy live shows, and smooth harmonies juxtaposed with lead singer Mikey Bostinto’s screachin’ howl."

-PineMagazine.com


"Spunky, Brit Invasion-inspired Tres Bien! puts on one heck of an energetic show - a must-see if you haven't experienced the spazzy, stylish and all-out-performing chaps."

-Julie Garisto, St. Petersburg Times

Très Bien ! C'est le nom choisi par un groupe de gamins (19/20 ans) de Floride. Du coup, les fans en délire hurlent des "tress bienne" reconnaissants en fins de concerts. Très Bien ! tire dans la catégorie "new rock énervé" (quoique ça puisse vouloir dire), à deux pas des Hives et R'n'R Soldiers, voire "new groove" (pareil...) tels Tokyo Sex Destruction ou International Noise Conspiracy. Le chanteur fait penser à un excitant croisement Jello B./Feargal Sharkey, et si le groupe ne tombait pas parfois dans des travers très "college radio US" (quelques longueurs et procédés), il mériterait amplement son nom. Mais ils ont le temps d'équarrir... D'ici-là, on se contentera de les renommer "Pas Mal !" et de les surveiller du coin de l'oreille.
