The French Tips

The French Tips are a vibrant garage rock band from Boise, Idaho, formed in 2016 by Rachel Couch, Angela Heileson, and Ivy Merrell. Initially starting out by learning covers to channel their "femme-fueled rage," they quickly developed a unique sound blending punk rock, post-punk, disco, dance, pop, funk, surf, and doo-wop influences into energetic and danceable garage rock tunes. Their debut album, *It's The Tips*, came out in 2019 and helped them gain notable regional attention, including tours with alt-rock legends like Built to Spill and shows alongside acts such as Tacocat and Sleater-Kinney.

After a brief pause in 2020 to focus on personal growth and songwriting, the band returned with their sophomore album *All The Rage*, released in 2022. This record builds on their signature style with dance-heavy, riff-driven music wrapped in catchy and hard-hitting songs that carry the emotional weight of the band's experiences over the years. They are known for their high-energy performances and have cultivated a devoted fan base, celebrating a sense of community, empowerment, and raw musical passion.
