Chester French spoke with CNN’s Shannon Cook about the story behind their name, what they studied at Harvard, and being compared to The Beach Boys. In a separate print Q&A, the pair were asked about whether being Harvard graduates makes them the smartest guys in pop music. “Probably not,” D.A. Wallach responded. “We were kind of nerds in high school. And the hardest part about Harvard is getting in, people say. After that you take it at your own pace. And at different times we were more or less engaged there, but we met some other really intelligent, thoughtful people.” Bandmate Max Drummey added, “And there’s definitely a lot of stupid people at Harvard.”

D.A. Wallach of Chester French took to his official web site to respond to a one star review by Melissa Maerz at Blender.com gave their debut album ‘Love the Future’, suggesting the pop duo’s lyrics were sexist. Wallach writes:
If anything, the message I want to convey is that it’s hip to be square, and that girls shouldn’t be so caught-up in the games of status and style. As someone raised by his mom who even chose to do a tutorial in college on feminist theory, I really fear after reading your review that people will get the wrong idea about our motives. Our goals have never been anything but to make thoughtful music and entertain.

Melissa Maerz wrote back and now we’re friends. For the record, Chester French LOVES women. That’s why we made Jacques Jams to attract them.
