Chicago indie band French Police has its internet fame, now it’s heading out on tour

CHICAGO — “I just want to always outdo myself from my previous project,” said Brian Flores, founder of indie rock band French Police. “I just want to be better each time.”

And better, Flores has become, at least according to the internet.

Although French Police has only existed in its current three-piece lineup for a little over a year, the band has steadily amassed a following of listeners around the country interested in their nostalgic brand of synth pop and post punk. Since launching, the group has amassed a quietly growing following, with numerous Instagram followers and more than 24,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. Their most popular track, “Hidalgo,” from 2019′s “Pedaleo Nocturno” EP has more than 215,000 listeners and counting.
