The Fresh & Onlys are an American rock band. They were formed in San Francisco, California, United States, in 2008 by Tim Cohen of Black Fiction, bassist Shayde Sartin and guitarist Wymond Miles. A year later they recruited drummer Kyle Gibson.* {{AllMusic |class=album |id=p1171097|tab=biography |label=The Fresh & Onlys > Biography| first=Margaret| last=Reges| accessdate=18 October 2010}} They are a key band in what has been described as San Francisco's "new garage rock" movement,{{cite web |url=http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/7951-positive-destruction-san-franciscos-new-garage-rock/ |title=Articles: Positive Destruction: San Francisco's New Garage Rock | Features |publisher=Pitchfork |date=2011-04-11 |accessdate=2012-09-03 |archive-date=2015-11-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151103140603/http://pitchfork.com/features/articles/7951-positive-destruction-san-franciscos-new-garage-rock/ |url-status=dead }} but their sound is equally aligned with pastoral psychedelia, brooding new wave, western twang, and jangly literate 1980s guitar pop.{{citation needed|date=May 2020}}

The band's catalog has found homes on several record labels including Woodsist, Captured Tracks, In The Red, Sacred Bones, and Castle Face. Their more recent work has been released by Mexican Summer including Long Slow Dance, released in September 2012, followed by the Soothsayer EP in late 2013.{{cite web|last=Sendra |first=Tim |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/long-slow-dance-mw0002392869 |title=Long Slow Dance - The Fresh & Onlys : Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |publisher=AllMusic |date=2012-09-04 |accessdate=2012-11-21}}
