Everybody Was in the French Resistance...Now!

are a band dedicated to writing responses to popular songs, featuring Eddie Argos of Art Brut and Dyan Valdés of The Blood Arm.

Eddie Argos announced the band on his blog in 2008, stating that this was a response to Avril Lavigne attempting to "steal men from happy and loving relationships," a sardonic reference to her song "Girlfriend".

[1] Eddie Argos is a renowned 'music geek',[2] and took the opportunity to reply to several songs on this project, from 60's soul numbers on "Hey, It's Jimmy Mack", to Kanye West on "Coal Digger".

Pitchfork, who are normally favourable to Argos' main band Art Brut stated that it was "for obsessives only", and of the concept that, "a mildly amusing Myspace click can lead to a painfully obnoxious album.

[7] However, some songs on the album were praised individually in the same reviews, for example He's a Rebel was regarded as "Funny and witty",[5] and Stereogum referred to Argos as "Indie rock's thick-browed sardonic clown prince.".
