Influences: PJ Harvey, Kinks, Zeppelin, The Clash (it's the law), the Who, Alice in Chains, Stones, Sex Pistols. There's 5 people and a lot of different influences.
Sounds Like: We've heard people mention Jane's Addiction, Garbage, X, Cheap Trick and Sleater Kinney when talking about us. On our last tour people were saying it sounded like Motorhead with female vocals.
...Devoid of any pretentious, fluffy mewling, CFS is a good ol’fashioned punk band without the overly jaded drug/booze sodden indifference. They have a good, tight, well composed beat and tremendous vocals that never overreach the music-
Might Afrodite, NY Waste
...With it’s thunderous drums and sweet harmonies, the tracks swallow you into a seedy Ramones-infused world of late night carousing-
Dan Vermont, The Owl Mag
...Infectious tunes that just want to make you keep blasting them out. Ruby Jordan has a wicked voice and backed up by an excellent band so I can see them doing well given the right breaks. Voted Best EP 2005
Steve DIY, Punk Globe Magazine
...Catchy, very catchy stuff. I found myself humming their tunes days later-
Peter Altescu, Varla Magazine
