Frenchy and the Punk

Through their unmistakable blend of influences ranging from post-punk & dark folk to new wave & goth, Frenchy and the Punk have forged their own distinct path since 2005, touring across the US and Europe with their artful two-person powerhouse of sound.
 
Drawing inspiration from post-punk legends like The Cure, the upbeat energy and percussive textures of Adam and the Ants, the bewitching mystique of Siouxsie and the Banshees, and the quirky charm of The B-52's, they have crafted a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly authentic delivered in an unorthodox way.
 
The pair is proof positive that opposites really do attract. The duo consists of French-born singer/percussionist & former ballet dancer Samantha Stephenson with her sultry yet powerful voice, often likened to iconic legends Siouxsie Sioux and Johnette Napolitano and her American-born partner and former hardcore punk bassist Scott Helland with his melodic electro/acoustic guitar stylings & looping mastery.
