Papas Fritas—typically stylized as pApAs fritAs—is an American indie-rock band that formed in 1992 and released three studio albums before quietly breaking up around 2001. The band's name is Spanish for "French fries" but is also a pun on the phrase "Pop has freed us," which they used as both the name of their music publishing company and their 2003 career retrospective. A German group using the name Papas Fritas also released a single called "Stehpisser" (Standing pisser) in 2005 which is falsely included as part of the pApAs fritAs discography in several digital stores.
