French Police

About the Artist

French Police, formed in Chicago, is a darkwave ensemble that masterfully blends indie and post-punk elements to create a sound that is both melancholic and danceable. Led by vocalist and guitarist Brian Flores, alongside lead guitarist Manny Herrera and bassist Rolando Donjuan, their music is characterized by rhythmic guitars and synths that evoke a passionate and romantic atmosphere. Their live performances are immersive experiences where the brooding intensity of their sound meets an infectious energy, often leaving audiences caught between introspection and the urge to move. Fans often recount the band's rise from the underground Chicago scene, where their unique fusion of darkwave and indie rhythms carved out a niche that resonated deeply with those seeking music that is both emotionally rich and rhythmically compelling. A notable anecdote among fans is how Brian Flores' early fascination with gothic literature and post-punk records shaped the band's lyrical and sonic identity, adding layers of depth to their performances. Their song "Vampiro" exemplifies their style—dark, rhythmic, and irresistibly danceable, much like a nocturnal invitation to a secret, stylish gathering. While their music carries a serious emotional weight, there's a subtle playfulness in their stage presence, a wink to the audience that says, "Yes, we're brooding, but we're also here to have a good time."
