Chicago post-punk trio French Police released the double single “Super Over Drive” / “Silver” on 28 August 2026 through Interscope Records, with a video for each track. “Super Over Drive” and “Silver” are the band’s second release for the label, four weeks after the “Reptile” / “Japan” double single that opened the deal.
Chris Eichenseer directed both clips as a Someoddpilot Studios production and also shot the cover art. The “Super Over Drive” video puts the trio through a sepia-toned performance in which bodies blur into movement and faces appear and disappear.
What French Police put on ‘Super Over Drive’ and ‘Silver’
“Super Over Drive” runs 3:22 and rides a driving bass line while Manny Herrera’s guitar cuts back into the arrangement from shifting angles. Brian Flores stretches his phrasing further than on earlier French Police tracks, holding notes past the point where the delivery stays composed. “Silver” runs 3:04, opens the arrangement out and leaves more space around the vocal, trading the first track’s defensiveness for a direct admission.
Both tracks are on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and the other streaming services. No album has been announced around them, so they stand as the band’s second standalone Interscope single.
The pairing follows “Reptile” / “Japan”, which arrived at the end of July 2026 and was the trio’s first release for a major label after seven years of self-released records and vinyl through independents. Side-Line reported that release in French Police signs to Interscope Records, releases ‘Reptile / Japan’ double single.

About French Police
Brian Flores founded French Police in Chicago in 2018. The Mexican-American singer, songwriter and guitarist writes in Spanish and English. Manny Herrera plays lead guitar and Rolando Donjuan plays bass. The trio bring a post-punk that mixes chorused guitar lines, driving bass and coldwave-leaning vocals, and they share a listener base with Lebanon Hanover, Molchat Doma and The Chameleons.
The self-titled debut appeared in 2019, followed by the “Pedaleo Nocturno” EP the same year and the 15-track “Haunted Castle” in February 2020, which Icy Cold Records later pressed to CD. A dense run of self-released EPs and singles followed through 2021 and 2022, among them “Pensamiento Negro”, “Onyx” and “1995”, with “Club De Vampiros / Plant Based Girl” issued by Icy Cold Records in January 2022 and “Fumar / Hate Me” by Cruel Records that May.
“Bleu” arrived in February 2023, and Audiotree released a live single and EP the following month. “Bully” came out on 26 January 2024, again self-released digitally with a vinyl edition through Icy Cold Records. Side-Line covered those European pressings in French Police launch limited European vinyl editions of ‘Bully’ and ‘Haunted Castle’, and Side-Line reviewed the album in French Police – Haunted Castle (Album – Icy Cold Records).
The “Espera” EP followed in January 2025 with the singles “Sugar Killer” and “Libra” later that year, and Icy Cold Records collected earlier material on the “Essentials” CD in March 2026. The Interscope deal, announced at the end of July 2026, ends the self-released period; “Super Over Drive” and “Silver” are the first songs the band has put out since the tour was announced.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
