A French band that built a steady, riff-driven sound from hardcore and metal without chasing trends.
For a good frame, try 'Seeing Red' for the riff-heavy side and 'Raise Your Voice' for the melodic hardcore anthems. Both show what they do plainly.
They've kept a direct, aggressive edge across albums like 'Young Blood' and 'Lies to Yourself', but songs like 'Seeing Red' show they can write big choruses too. Their sound pulls from hardcore and metal without losing melodic clarity, and they've done it with little flash outside the music itself. You hear that approach on 'Raise Your Voice', a track that feels both heavy and anthemic.
Formed in Toulouse in 2007 around vocalist Michaël Bigas and guitarist Olivier Laffond, they put out their first album 'Young Blood' in 2010. By 2020's 'Lies to Yourself', they'd shifted toward more introspective writing while keeping the quartet lineup steady with bassist Nicolas Sarret and drummer Florent Rodière. They haven't reinvented their sound dramatically, just built on what they started with.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
