French Police

French Police will be at I.Boat Bordeaux on 18 March 2026. A Chicago band formed by brothers Brian and Jesse Flores, together with Jose Vega, the trio carves out a post-punk groove informed by alternative rock. Their music is built on marked rhythmic precision—compact bass and drums—over which clear, cutting guitars take their place. The band embraces a nostalgic approach that evokes 1980s new wave—with New Order and Depeche Mode as reference points—while offering a contemporary interpretation.

The songs rely on tension, spare melodies and straightforward structures, without unnecessary effects. French Police distinguishes itself by a crisp sense of rhythm, finely etched guitar lines and an economy of means that lets motifs breathe. In Bordeaux, this mix of eighties touchstones and contemporary energy is evident, true to the trio’s identity and its roots in the indie underground. A date that highlights the essentials: pulse, guitars and light-and-dark atmospheres.
