Through their unmistakable blend of influences from post-punk, dark folk to new wave, goth & punk cabaret, FnP have forged their own distinct path since 2005, touring the US & Europe.
French-born Stephenson sings w/ a gothy heft & authority. Former punk bassist turned guitarist, live looping master Helland weaves his spidery electro/acoustic guitar noir riffage to perfectly complement Stephenson.

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.

“Former punk bassist turned instrumental songwriter Scott Helland utilizes live looping and an array of guitar effect pedals with a proficiency that’s earthy, visceral and superbly crafted. In his early years (through the 80’s and 90’s) Helland co-founded and played with the legendary hardcore bands Deep Wound (w/J Mascis/Lou Barlow) and Outpatients as well as NYC crossover bands School of Violence, Darkside NYC. He released 7 solo CDs from `96 to `04. In '05 he formed the eclectic post-punk cabaret rock duo Frenchy and the Punk with French born singer Samantha Stephenson with whom he tours internationally and releases music regularly." Guitarmy of One has shared stages w/ Surf Rock bands such as The Supertones, Wiped Out, The Vista Cruisers as well as dub bass master That 1 Guy, & NYC Hardcore legends Leeway and more. Helland has been live looping for 15+ years. New Album 'The Wave Files' Out on 8/18/23!
