The Bay Bridged writes, “Its four songs ring true to MFE’s fun, clever pop with its upbeat rhythms and catchy melodies.”

The Examiner writes, “Although a dash more polished and sophisticated, “Crush” is another dose of pure MFE awesomeness. Even with their sound a tad bit dressed up, MFE remains a uniquely funky and fresh sounding hidden San Francisco electro-rock gem.”

Along these auditory enjoyment, we invite you to experience some visual overload with our latest fan-made music video for Neon For You. It’s crazier than anything we could have made ourselves! And that’s saying something!

Oh, and not to forget the best part…we are giving away CRUSH for FREE! Sign up for our emailing list to be the first to hear it!

“They’re snappy, energetic, and just plain playful”
Mainstream Isn’t So Bad

“What do graphic designers do in their spare time? If you said make catchy pop music, you’d be correct.”
Howard Who

“I was very pleased when their song “Teleprompt” was really catchy and had an interesting story”

“This first EP from My First Earthquake, entitled Tremors, is totally fun and infectious. The six tracks are adorned with plenty of synth and hip-shaking bass lines, making for a continuous stream of well-executed, straightforward indie pop.”
