Excuse My French Clothing is an independent alternative music project created by New Jersey songwriter Joe Rowley.

 

Created as an extension of a clothing brand with the same name, EMFC combines music, visual identity, storytelling, and dark humor into a single creative project. What began as a clothing company built around the French equivalent of "Go F*** Yourself" has evolved into something much bigger—a world where cynical observations, memorable characters, and guitar-driven music coexist.

 

Rooted in the DIY spirit and attitude of punk, EMFC refuses to be confined to a single genre. Songs may move between alternative rock, post-punk, industrial textures, and melodic singer-songwriter roots, but they're united by a consistent point of view, distinctive production, and Rowley's unique songwriting voice.

 

With new music arriving on a regular schedule and live performances planned for New York City in 2027, Excuse My French Clothing is building a growing catalog of songs—and a creative world worth discovering.
