haha that Taking Back Sunday song isn't near as good as this. I saw someone said they had to sign somethin for FCR to use this. I dont understand it. All it has is the same beat...and its not too much of an uncommon beat anyway. So I think the guys should make a full song to this. it'd be amazing. 30 seconds is already great! haha
god i love this song. lol its great. nice beat to it. it should actually be a legit song tho. like off of itunes and at least like a minute thirty seconds long
ok ppl stop being mean to these guys!! they are awsome!! a lot of yall are sayin they ripped some song, but what if the company made the song and told them sing it?? The band wouldn't know! unless they heard the song they ripped. Point is stop being to that guys! they have to make a living some how and being a adverstising band is how they do it. All they do is sing ! im pretty sure that's all they do for the company!
All the songs in these commercials are written by senior copywriter Dave Muhlenfeld of the Martin Agency. Dave developed the concept of the band, writes the music, the lyrics, and sings the songs. Eric is lipsyncing. If the song is similar to "Taking Back Sunday" the guys wouldn't know that because they're from Montreal. Pandulse is right - the guys act in the commercials and nothing more.
Ever think that maybe FCR paid TBS to use their song for a commercial? S'called Royalties. Just because you hear people's music in a commercial doesn't mean the company "Stole" anything. Kids these days just don't think.
aha i saw this the other day and thought it sounded very familiar. then i realized it sounds a WHOLE lot like Timberwolves at New Jersey by Taking Back sunday. crazy
The music and lyrics are written by Dave Muhlenfeld, a senior copywriter at the Martin Agency. He came up with the concept of the "band", which was originally going to be one radio spot. Dave promoted the idea for TV ads ... and the rest is history!!! BTW, it's Dave who is actually singing.
They are acting in the commercials, however Eric is the only professional actor. Vince and Mario are musicians in Montreal. For spelling (!) it's Eric Violette, Vince Charron and Mario Telaro. Eric has a fantastic voice, but a thick French accent; thus the dubbing. Mario is an absolutely fantastic drummer. The real singer is the guy who created the "band" concept, wrote the music and wrote the lyrics, Dave Muhlenfeld, a senior copywriter at the Martin Agency, which produces these spots.
This is SOOOOO MUCH BETTER! Then that Taking Back Sunday crap people think is music nowadays...*GASP* here comes the thumbs down and the internet insults!!
dude, i saw this commercial today and i immediately thought of tbs's timberwolves at new jersey. i'm surprised that a lot of others noticed this too!! XD

They are acting in the commercials, however Eric is the only professional actor. Vince and Mario are musicians in Montreal. For spelling (!) it's Eric Violette, Vince Charron and Mario Telaro. Eric has a fantastic voice, but a thick French accent; thus the dubbing. Mario is an absolutely fantastic drummer. The real singer is the guy who created the "band" concept, wrote the music and wrote the lyrics, Dave Muhlenfeld, a senior copywriter at the Martin Agency, which produces these spots.
