“we've been on the tail of these Frenchies since the release of their debut album back in '04 and each time we heard or saw 'em they gained in maturity and quality. From the 7"s they released throughout the last couple o' years you could tell the many years on the road had sharpened the band's songs, sound and skills. The rip Offs - meets -Dwarves approach from their debut got turned in for a full-on '77 Punk attack and fully blossoms on these 11 tracks. Fuck, this actually sounds like a modern day Kids! Some tunes are know from their 7"s (like all three tracks - too bad!- off their "Are You A Punk", be it the 7" recordings are a bit more basically put to tape) some brand new, some fast, some mid-tempo, but they all got one common factor: they rip you a new fucker! Me thinks this band is heavily underrated and undernoticed, so it's time to stand up and take care of business!”

Wim Retard, HIGH HEELS SLUT # 11 (Belgium), review No One Here Gets Out Alive LP
“77er Retro-Punk der Oberklasse, genau die Art von Krawall, die man seit jeher von französischen Punkbands gewöhnt ist und nicht missen möchte. Wenn es mal wieder ansteht, zünftig das Tanzbein zu schwingen und sich auf die Creepers wahlweise Chucks trampeln zu lassen und die KIDS gerade nicht zur Hand sind, die SEX PISTOLS zu teuer sind und die DOGS aus Frankreich ohnehin schon längst Geschichte, dann kann man stattdessen auch zu FLYING OVER torkeln. Nicht ohne Grund hatte ich einmal vor, diese Band für ein kleines Stelldichein zu buchen, was jedoch leider an finanziellen Engpässen meinerseits scheiterte.Dass ich dementsprechend etwas Negatives sagen würde, kann nicht erwartet werden.Völlig subjektiv und damit völlig im Recht, weil ganz in der Tradition der großartigen TV KILLERS oder NO-TALENTS, und wer sich außerdem Namen wie Jet Boy und Jet Girl gibt, kann ohnehin nur gewinnen.Ganz am Rande aber noch eins: die Songs in der Muttersprache knallen am besten, mehr davon bi”

Dirk Klotzbach, Ox-Fanzine / Ausgabe #97 (August/September 2011), review No One Here Gets Out Alive LP
“Flying Over aus Bordeaux spielen schnörkellosen 77-Punk, der oft an Landsleute wie Hatepinks, Aggravation oder Neurotic Swingers erinnert, wobei Flying Over eher schleppender zu Werke gehen und mit sexy Frau/Mann – Gesang aufwarten. Schade, dass nur bei zwei Liedern französisch gesungen wird. Wer auf New York- Punk der ersten Stunde und die oben genannten Bands steht kann hier auf keinen Fall was falsch machen.”

by KNOX RECORDS (Japan), review No One Here Gets Out Alive LP
“Großartiges Full-Lenght der Franzosen, die erneut eine perfekte Mischung aus Weirdo 77er und KBD-Sound spielen. 11 Songs denen man deutlich anhört, dass mehr als gelegentlich Saints, Sex Pistols, Kids und Vibrators auf den Plattentellern der Verantwortlichen rotieren. 2 von den Nummern werden auf französisch gesungen, der Rest ist auf englisch, damit auch jeder mitsingen kann bei den feisten Sing-A-Longs.”

FLIGHT 13 (DE) review No One Here Get Out Alive LP
“Está claro que esta primavera el punk 77 invade la península: Los Kids, los Boys, los Cute Leppers, Los Flying Over… y es que es tiempo de lucir tu mejor denim... saca la chupa raquítica, agarra con imperdibles esos estallones propios de llevar prendas tres tallas más pequeñas… y ponte a rockear.
Flying Over vienen desde Burdeos, sorprendiéndome alegremente con su punk viejuno, del de tres acordes y punteo veloz, sí, ese que suena a retro… que dan ganas de saltar, botar y menear la melena de un lado a otro. ¿Os acordáis de los Tv killers y los Gasolheads, o los Hatepinks? Pues no os perdáis a los Fying Over, ¡parece que Francia vuelve a tener bandas molonas!”
“Nope, they’re not a Doors-influenced band, despite the album’s title. Instead, Flying Over sound like TV Killers (whom they cover with “Closer”), Stitches, and other bands from the ‘90s who were wearing their ‘77 punk and KBD style proudly on their sleeves. Mainly mid-tempo rockers that will make you bounce around the room and maybe kick something now and then. “No Come Back” and “Everybody Sucks” are the two standouts among a really good batch of songs.”

by Matt Average - Razorcake Magazine (USA), Review “No One Here Gets Out Alive” LP
“Now we’re talking. The French punks continue to put out great music. This one is straightforward, catchy and has a certain new wave quality to it, though it is mostly old-school punk rock. With the dual male/female vocals, it is just right up my alley. “You wanna sex with me tonight.” On red vinyl, this one is worth putting some effort into finding. Highest recommendation. Excellent. Is there another way to say it?

by KK - MAXIMUM ROCK'N'ROLL (USA) # 334, Review “No One Here Gets Out Alive” LP March 2011
“Du punk 1977 pour aujourd'hui! Dès «I don't wanna» chanté mixte, difficile de ne pas penser, au phrasé vocal et aux effets stylistiques, de la scène internationale fin 70's. Il y a des intros appuyées, ricanements d'outre-tombe, et autres manières typiques de ces années d'accélération. «Are you a punk» enfonce l'épingle, «Shake it baby» rappelle les Dogs. Comment s'étonner ce groupe soit souvent sur les routes, y compris à Londres, au Portugal, en Espagne.. "Destroy" Ça se confirme encore avec «Fier de déplaire», une compos en français,qui lève son toast aux Olivensteins. Reste qu'avec sa reprise des TV Killers, la clique pro-destroy s'inscrit parmi la scène 2010. «Everybody sucks», «I wanna destroy you», ressemblent à des clins d'œil d'un espéranto punk devenu, trois-quatre décennies après, qualificatifs de frustration collective et de rage face à la crise pour tous, «Ça va trop vite, dommage pour toi».

“These Frenchies were personally chose by Thee Vicars to appear on the first volume in their Holy Twist compilation of garage-punk bands "Get Wyld!" - so you can take that as a guarantee that it's a band worth seeing. Influenced by the likes of the TV Killers, the Kids, Sex Pistols, Vibrators, Saints, Stooge you're sure to find yourself witnessing a top class, crazy and frantic display of punk rock action.”

Dirty Water Records (UK), Reviews October 2010
“Picked by Thee Vicars for inclusion on the Get Wyld compilation on their own Holy Twist label, these Bordeaux boys are one of the best of the current crop of young underground bands playing savage, unrestrained garage rock’n’roll. They take all the good parts of the 60s and 70s and mix them together in a scuzzy, fuzzy reverb-drenched bucket. For fans of the TV Killers, Devil Dogs, Teengenerate, etc..”

WALLRIDE RECORDS, review 7"
“Debut album here from this new band from La Rochelle, France. Self released on their now aborted label, Little Pink Medecine, it's a nice lil diamond in the rough. This is one of, the best straight trashy rock'n'roll records I've heard by a French band since the TV KIllers last album. Every song has a trademark itchy guitar sound that totally got under my skin. I really loathe to compare them to other bands, they sound like the good parts of the 60's and 70's mixed together in a scuzzy, fuzzy reverb drenched bucket. The production is right on and they play fast without wrecking the melody. This is definately my new favorite record! Anyone interested in "punk" rock (whatever the fuck that means anymore) should definitely check this one out. Viva les Frogs! 13 solid tracks and an Infections cover!”

DEAD BEAT RECORDS (USA), review rockin'frenchies album
“
This French band seems to have delt with quite a few line-up changes, which is once more the case since they have relocated from La Rochelle to join the wild Rock & Roll nightlife in Bordeaux. Their 'Rockin' Frenchies' we bought a few years ago sounded like early RIP OFF bands with at times a shot of DWARVES and this is the first time we hear 'em again. 'Danger Boy' and 'Fier de déplaire' are two fast and tigght punk tracks that are heavily influenced by those other 'Fuckin' Frenchies', the TV KILLERS, who blasted around Europe in the late '90s. 'I wanna destroy you' on the flip is a total '77 stomper that reminds a good deal of the SEX PISTOLS, without the cockney accent! For sure a cool release for all you punk lovers out there!”

P.TRASH RECORDS (DE), review 7"
“
Le groupe bordelais sous perfusion TV Killers (de la pochette aux covers comme 'Do You Love The Nazis?' des Kids, jusqu'au titre de leur premier album de 2004, Rockin'Frenchies) revient sur le front avec un tout nouveau line-up autour du couple Jet Boy - Jet Girl, Gun Boy à la batterie, Lichen Boy (ex-Jakes, Hero-X) à la basse et Law Boy (Heartbeeps et dernier guitariste en date des TV's). Evidemment vous vous doutez bien qu'ils ne tapent pas dans la disco hein, c'est du punk rock tendu et nerveux. Les trois tites de ce 45t édités par le label d'Annecy Shit In Can explore l'univers sale du groupe avec notamment un 'Fier de Déplaire' en Français et un excellent mid-tempo en face B, 'I Wanna Destroy You' (pas celui des Soft Boys).

DIG IT! Fanzine, review 7"
“
The cover has a sort of EPOXIES feel to it. Wow!!! This is 77' old school punk rock in a mid-tempo, catchy, but not wimpy style. The Frenchies know their history when it comes to punk rock. They know that punk is simple, straightforward, not meant to be complicated. Heavily influenced by the TV KILLERS, SEX PISTOLES and KBD bands. They actually were on the P.Trash Killed By Trash Vol.1 compilation!

Astreiner 77-Garagenpunk mit flotter Rocknrollnote, haben viel the Kids, Saints & Stooges gehört und transportieren das mit diesem speziell-französischen Einschlag (a la hatepinks) ziemlich frisch ins Jahr 2008. Female & Male voices mal auf Englisch, mal auf Französisch.

SHAKE YOUR ASS RECORDS (IT), review 7"
“
Os Flying Over são uma formação já com dez anos, com poucos registos e muitas mudanças, agora sediados em La Rochelle (Bordéus - França) onde existe um marcante e forte movimento de garage-punk, estando isso bem demonstrado neste 7', que para além de muito competente não soa a nada que não tenhamos já escutado, destacando-se 'Fier de Deplaire', que é muito aconselhável.

ROCK AROUND THE BLOG (PT), review 7"
“
Hey, I think I found the French equivalent to The Stitches. It's well-played, basic punk rock with sinus-infection snottiness and one monitor borrowed directly from the Sex Pistols. Not as spitfire jagged as The No Talents, nor as bouncy-catchy as The Hatepinks, but competent.

Auf durchsichtigem Vinyl gibt's hier dreimal klassischen 77er Punkrock des Ehepaares Jet Boy und Jet Girl (haha, wie originell ...), der sich nicht vor ihren Landsmännern und Brüdern im Geiste T.V. KILLERS, HATEPINKS und NEUROTIC SWINGERS zu verstecken braucht, aber auch (noch) nicht ganz an die Klasse dieser Bands heranreicht. Ein Song ist sogar en français (6)

High Heels Slut(B), review 7"
“All right! France's Flying Over is definitely a Now Wave kind of band!Falling somewhere in between straight-up retro '77 and Killed By Death Euro-punk, Flying Over throws it back to the days when the likes of TV Killers and Gasolheads ruled the French punk scene. Boasting fantastic names (Jet Boy, Jet Girl, Gun Boy, Hero Boy) and unassailable influences (Saints, Sex Pistols, Kids, Vibrators), these Frenchie punk n' rollers could very well induce a worldwide revival of pogo dancing.'Danger Boy' and 'Fier De Deplaire' burn fast and furious - the former sparked by a call-and-response exchange between Jet Boy and his wife Jet Girl, the latter sung in French and bringing to mind the early Stitches.'I Wanna Destroy You' eases back the speed a tad and snarls in a classic Pistols style. It also kind of reminds me of 'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways - which can only be a good thing. This is a band to check out!”

Ils ont eu le bassiste des TV Killers comme CPE au Lycée et maintenant on voit le resultat: du Frenchie Rock'n'Roll dans la lignée des Hero-X, Gasolheads, Pneumonias et bien sûr TV Killers! Cette petite pièce de vinyle ( mise en boîte au fameux studio du Chalet près de Bordeaux) crépite de références retro punk. Un groupe dont on devrait entendre de plus en plus parler...

I haven't even listened to this one yet and I can just tell I'm going to like it. (It's a good thing after what that fucker LAZLO did to me.) The cover has a sort of EPOXIES feel to it. Let's check it out. Wow. This is old school punk rock in a mid-tempo, catchy, but not wimpy style. The Frenchies know their history when it comes to punk rock. They know that punk is simple, straightforward, not meant to be complicated. All three tracks are quality, just like I knew they would be.

“The a-side sports two rad fast punk/rock'n'rollers not unlike The Stitches or TV Killers with a touch of those Rip Off bands, while the flip 'I Wanna Destroy You!' is a great midtempo snotfest. Nothing you haven't heard before, but this shit is solid as Lee Marvin kickin' butt in a Noir flick. Flying Over has been around for 10 years and have previously released the 'Rockin' Frenchies' album including an Infections cover!”

“
3 temas de punk rock de altura provenientes de Francia. País donde el número de grupos y cositas trotantes nos da un par de patadas al vuelo. Flyng Over es un grupo de energía, buenas melodías y electricidad que puede traer a la cabeza a originarios como Buzzcocks, Adverts … y otros más actuales como New Bomb Turks. Además seguro que esto en directo se lo montan bien y la lían de arriba a bajo.

Burka For Everybody (SP), review 7"
“This is the type of record that you instantly want because of how it looks…plus it features the vocalist from the TV KILLERS so you know what to expect: a snotty and fast-paced blend of the classic '77 style but with a chaotic garage Rip Off-style edge. This is totally my bag…full of European style and attitude, three cuts, all killer and on clear wax. It's got the viciousness of the SEX PISTOLS with the rhythm and melody of TEENAGE HEAD...what a mix!!
