FrenchKicks is an indie rock group residing in New York City, USA.
The three friends then moved to Brooklyn, New York after college, where the FrenchKicks were formed with vocalist/guitarist Josh Wise, a Princeton grad who originally hailed from Huntsville, Alabama.
The FrenchKicks also appear on two compiliations: The My Pal God Holiday Record 2 with the song "Alabaster City", and This is Next Year: A Brooklyn Based Compiliation with the song "1985" (Alt Version).
With this album, FrenchKicks have taken a sizeable leap forward, taking the right bits and pieces from half a century of rock 'n' roll to make something new and, yes, unique.
Trial is as rhythmically acerbic and propulsive as the last couple of FrenchKicks offerings, but the pace is a little slower and more deliberate, the songwriting more cohesive, reflective, and mature.
As for its place in the larger new rock movement, The Trial Of The Century's forward motion is on a par with The Walkmen's leap from the gray clang of its debut to the committed window-rattling of this year's Bows + Arrows.
