Communiqué (band)

(Redirected from Communique (band))

Communiqué was a 2000s indie rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area. The band originated as American Steel, but decided to record under the name Communiqué after their third album because their new poppy indie rock sound did not match the punk style of American Steel. Their first release as Communiqué was the 2003 EP titled A Crescent Honeymoon. In 2004, they released their debut album Poison Arrows.[1] In 2007, the Communiqué name was discontinued, with the members becoming American Steel again.
