If you're after a bit of feel-good punk-rock that's just about angsty enough for you to sing along and forget all the worries in life then Montpellier's Quitters are just the ticket.
Introducing: FRCTRD
A few weeks ago we gave you a taster of the savage tech-metal sound of French deathcore five-piece FRCTRD, and we were so excited by their brutality that we followed it up by having a chat with the band. The Parisians first formed back in 2014, brought together by their shared love for the same music.... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Rise People, Rise
While speaking to French rockers Rise People, Rise we not only uncovered a really exciting new band, but also discovered the need for a French revolution, if you will. The beginnings of the band came from a pretty unusual place. Drummer and vocalist Lucas de Geyter had been playing in several bands over several years,... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Heptaedium
Combining elements of djent and metal with electro, Parisian one-man band Heptaedium has created an eclectic sound that he has interestingly termed "Baguettecore." The tech-metal project is the brainchild of Florent Lambert, who tells us the idea for the unique music fusion came to him way back in 2011: "I was listening to Motionless Battle...

Introducing: Fall Flavored
Some people are confused about French rockers Fall Flavored. The band have honed an edgy rock meets punk sound that it's hard not to love but, apparently, some are being led astray by the powerful vocals of lead singer Yasmine Senoussi.

One of the coolest things emerging from this once extremely sleazy region of Paris is the... Continue Reading →
Introducing: Pamela Hüte
Years on from spending days of her childhood staring at the bright blue cover of Weezer's self-titled album daydreaming of a record deal of her own, French singer / songwriter Pamela Hüte is now living out that dream of being a rockstar. She's gone it alone in a solo career and honed a fun brand of rock... Continue Reading →
Introducing: DVWKINS
French metal isn't a genre we've delved too far into, but if Parisian metalcore quintet DVWKINS are anything to go by then perhaps we all really should. The five-piece have created a powerful yet melodic sound that deliciously contrasts between the clean vocals of lead singer Djoul and guitarist Antonin's screams, with a big metalcore...

Introducing: Show Me Your Universe
French rockers Show Me Your Universe may have found it difficult getting noticed in their musical homeland, but their wonderfully intense post-hardcore sound will have UK metal fans begging for more. The lack of a strong rock and metal scene and the difficulty in finding like-minded musicians in France led to two of the band initially meeting online around... Continue Reading →
