SFL on Vimby: .. VIMBY - Scissors For Lefty SFL on The Daily Habit: "...scruffy, dancey pop that's gleefully euphoric. Bryan Garza sings like an indie-rock James Brown, yelping, cooing, and slurring his lines in a boyishly seductive fashion..." - Rated: A, San Francisco Magazine "Eager rock magpies come bearing bright, catchy gifts... huge hooks and playful pleasures win the day... So cheerily unpretentious, it's almost irresistible." - SPIN "...plenty of undeniable, butt-shaking riffs...your feet will be shuffling to the irresistable, anthemic guitar hooks." - Paste “…San Francisco newcomers Scissors for Lefty… threatened to steal the night from the '80s British duo [Erasure] with a frisky, fun 40-minute romp through its catchy indie album Underhanded Romance." – Miami Herald "Scissors for Lefty...ambitious, sarcastic sophistopop.... quirky, promising and quite possibly awesome. - NME "4/5 stars....combining the quirky pop flair of the Killers with the Anglophile indie purism of their underrated Californian labelmates the Tyde, the debut album from this San Francisco quartet shows real potential..." - The Times UK "5/5 stars...they're stellar to the core. As happy on the dancefloor as in the headphones, SFL have a plethora of tunes that can take their place alongside Franz Ferdinand and We Are Scientists in the 'rock music you can swing to' category...There isn't a single bad song on the entire album, and every listen is an absolute joy. If there is any justice we'll see Scissors for Lefty emulating the mainstream puncturing success that We Are Scientists have achieved in recent times. This immediately makes an entry into the Top Ten albums of 2007." - Alternative Ulster UK "...exuberant, fast-moving danceable rock/pop full of darting keyboards, Strokes-like guitar riffs, and disco rhythms..." - Billboard "...infused dance-pop drips with wit and brims with energy — the sound of four guys having a good time." - LA Times "Buzz Band" "SFL have an artistic edge, a lot of esoteric flavors, and a Brian-Ferry-meets-Jarvis-Cocker vibe...one of the most compelling, exciting, and commercially viable bands to emerge out of the rich SF music scene in years! " - Aaron Axelson, Live 105/Popscene "Two pairs of brothers are bringing dancing back to the rock concert floor - thank God...Sexy, twitchy rock with herky-jerky rhythms, '80's-style synth melodies, and a very charismatic lead singer. Sort of a Bay Area version of the Strokes, only with less attitude and more fun." - SF Magazine "...squelchy synths and snappy, disco-happy drums...infectious, soulful,and extremely tight." - SF Bay Guardian "In their heyday, Pulp swaggered around the Brit-pop party with a bottle of bubbly in one hand and dancing shoes in the other. They were calculated cool with enough rock to help the club kids do the stiff shuffle all night. San Francisco's Scissors for Lefty follow a similar trajectory, with electronic beats, and whispered nightcaps. Stylish without sounding too self-aware, Scissors for Lefty are an interesting amalgam of calculated styles. - Seattle Stranger "Thai food connoisseurs, cyclist enthusiasts, mistletoe fanatics :)..." - Scissors for Lefty FREE RemixesBUY "UNDERHANDED ROMANCE" ON iTUNES | BUY "UNDERHANDED ROMANCE" CD SFL.COM | TOUR | VIDEOS | MERCH | CUSTOM MERCH | REQUEST US | STREET TEAM |

Influences: Sign Up For Our Email List: *: Indicates a required field.: Full Name Email Address *: Zip Country Cell Phone Birth date : Sounds Like: I think we have an eclectic ragamuffin sound. Sometimes it comes off pro, other times, garage like. We know that's not a sure-fire formula for success, and truly...that's ok. In the famous words of the movie Wal-E...."We don't want to survive....we want to live!!!" Mostly, we're endearing friends with a penchant for melody, mischief, and moments. We're cuckoo to watch, people tend to dance a lot, and we never skimp on passion. If we were a TV show, we'd be Sesame Street...but with a PG-13 rating for language, and a "R" rating for imagery. Growing up, I think it's safe to say that we've been blow away by the stage presence of folks like Karen O, Stuart Murdoch, Kiss, Michael Jackson, Steve Malkmus, Bjork, and of course, Ian Svenonius. People compare/crtique my singing voice to Joe Strummer, Jim Morrison, Jarvis Cocker, Julian Casablancas, etc... I guess that means, I sing in the key of "J"??? No hiding that, I tried "K" and it lacked soul...so "J" it is!!! ~Bryan Garza Record Label: eenie meenie (US+Can) Type of Label: Indie |
