The New Fidelity's music has already been featured on several prime-time television shows on ABC, NBC, The CW and FuelTV, most recently on NBC'S Primetime show "Parenthood" and 2 songs upcoming on the Sony Pictures pilot "Mr. Sunshine" starring Matthew Perry of "Friends".
KROQ Deejay and LA legend Rodney Bingenheimer is a big fan of the band, and recently chose the band and their song "Blue Eyed Girl" as one of his LA favorites in an interview for National Public Radio. The band has received spins also on KCRW'S Morning Becomes Eclectic with Nic Harcourt and enjoyed an instant jump in interest from a whole new audience.
The band's 2 videos on this page also have received national rotation in Denny's, Macy's and Carl's Jr. along side major label bands such as Jack Johnson.
Internet radio stations with at least 50,000 downloads that have played Newfi include MOD Radio UK, Mr. Suave's Mod Mod World, Canadian Music Rocks and Indie Pop Rocks.
The New Fi made its first movie appearance performing in a dance club scene in the independent film We Are The Mods, which debuted at the Director's Guild of America Theater. More performances on the silver screen are planned including background music to Vespa scooter chase scene in a soon- to-be-released independent film featuring Henry Winkler!
Performing club dates with regularity, the band is just as at home at scooter rallies and on festival stages where they can seamlessly mix their original songs with covers of Mod and Soul classics.
The band have performed up and down the west coast from Vancouver to Vegas to San Diego, and most often in the Los Angeles area where they live.
Influences include British Pop Rock such as Small Faces, The Who and The Beatles with healthy portions of Motown and Stax, mixed with punk and post-punk sensibilities such as the Clash and the Jam.
Move on up to The New Fidelity!

"One of the current 'Hot 100 2009" unsigned artists in the Los Angeles area."
--Music Connection Magazine



"There is nothing diminutive about the tuneful and glorious songs on the New Fidelity's sophomore release Tiny Slivers. The Long Beach-based quartet celebrates melodic songwriting and strong vocal harmonies across the full length of the 11-song disc. From the infectious 'Baby's Back in Town' to the melodic jangle pop-rock of 'No Way Back,' the sound of the disc shimmers from start to finish. There is a nod to 60's psychedelic with the retro-winning 'Miss You Like You're Dead.' This is not the slick 2000's pop-rock of the Click Five, but rather blends pop heroes from the 1970's (think Raspberries), 80's (Squeeze comes to mind) and early 90's (Teenage Fanclub, Jellyfish)."
--Robert Kinsler, Orange County Register



"Aside from their masterful harmonies, the New Fidelity sound nothing like the Beach Boys and everything like the soundtrack to an 80s movie that was never made. Take the wistfully danceable 'Casa Grande' for instance, about a 'sunny winters day bike ride through Long Beach.' John Cusack should be on that bike! Or 'First Day,' about doing dishes in your apartment and reflecting on the way that love sometimes walks into your life . . . and fucks it up! Molly Ringwald is doing those dishes right now! Seriously!"
--Alison Rosen, OC Weekly



"Layers of sublime nuance and easy-to-enjoy, hard driving guitar melodies. Youll find elements of American garage, soul, jangly mod-pop power pop all mixed up in this honest, gritty and splashingly refreshing slab of tailored energized music. Extremely Highly Recommended."
--Bruce Brodeen, Not Lame Recordings



"Following the Cold War Kids [on stage that night] were the power-pop Long Beach quartet The New Fidelity, reinvigorating the stage with their masterful harmonies and pretty-boy good looks. Come 12:30AM the Prospector was still packed and begging for more. So the New Fi appeased the crowd with a double encore and finished the night with a bang. "
--Kristina Benson, L.A. Record



Their set shoves me right onto the dance floor like nobody's business. I'm dancing, I'm twisting, I'm shaking. At this point I have no control over my limbs and tracks off of their album, Tiny Slivers, have got me jumping and jiving to a definite Kinks and early Who influenced beat.
--Tammy Loveless, Mongrel Zine, Vancouver B.C.



"Fall in love (as usual) with New Fi's adorable, skinny-tied modness!"
--Rebecca Schoenkopf, The District Weekly
