"...Tres Bien, a Florida power-pop group whose original song 'Your Graceful Soul' is worthy of Lenny Kaye's classic "Nuggets" collection of garage rock..."
- Ted Cox, Daily Herald (Chicago, Illinois)
"Fully embracing the 'That Thing You Do' vibe, this foursome from Clearwater, Florida bop their heads Beatles-style while churning out 60s-inspired power-pop. Think: the perfect openers for The Hives. ...These guys rock!"
- Shirley Halperin, Entertainment Weekly
"If I’m honest, I was slightly unsure over the presumptuous punctuation in the band’s name. Exclamation marks reek of a cocky self assurance and give a We! Are! Great! sort of message but after listening to this Floridian quartet’s latest offering, I soon found I had little reason to doubt. Throughout the album the lead singer frequently squeals like an over- excited Yorkshire terrier which, surprisingly, is not an insult as Captured in Colour is a joyful thrash of a record right. The Strokes-esque guitar rifts of Easy To Love Me help keep things perky and fun whilst the early Green Day sounding punk tracks, Girl You Ain’t Righteous and Two Tablespoons Of Attitude inject the album with an over- healthy dose of rumbling fun. A bumptious indie- rock feast of a record, Très! Bien! appear to live up to their modest continental title. Very! Good! Indeed!"
- Victoria Levitt, www.tastyfanzine.org.uk
"Spunky, Brit Invasion-inspired Tres Bien! puts on one heck of an energetic show - a must-see if you haven't experienced the spazzy, stylish and all-out-performing chaps."
-Julie Garisto, St. Petersburg Times
Très Bien ! C'est le nom choisi par un groupe de gamins (19/20 ans) de Floride. Du coup, les fans en délire hurlent des "tress bienne" reconnaissants en fins de concerts. Très Bien ! tire dans la catégorie "new rock énervé" (quoique ça puisse vouloir dire), à deux pas des Hives et R'n'R Soldiers, voire "new groove" (pareil...) tels Tokyo Sex Destruction ou International Noise Conspiracy. Le chanteur fait penser à un excitant croisement Jello B./Feargal Sharkey, et si le groupe ne tombait pas parfois dans des travers très "college radio US" (quelques longueurs et procédés), il mériterait amplement son nom. Mais ils ont le temps d'équarrir... D'ici-là, on se contentera de les renommer "Pas Mal !" et de les surveiller du coin de l'oreille.
Hvala for the delicious invite into your most scrumptious world... It appears you present me with a most delicious virtual union! Enchanted, I am... Poljubac, poljubac, (Srpski kisses) Милaна
