Bernardt’s next album is called Contigo and will be released on May 17. 10 days later, he will be in concert at La Boule Noire (Paris).
The Silver Lines – Cocaine
Simple and yet so energetic, “Cocaine,” the new single from British alternative rock band The Silver Lines will kick off your weekend with a flood of primal energy. Find them in concert across France during April, notably at Supersonic (Paris) on the 12th.
Malween – The Last Stand
A little rock in French in the text with “Le Dernier combat”, new single from Malween. Carried by both hope and uncertainty, Malween places his words on folk rock-inspired chords. A title to be found in the album It’s never too late, already available.
Hoorsees – New Career
If Big, Hoorsees’ third album, has been available since January, the group does not intend to stop promoting it. So, here is “New Career”, in which the group includes electronic influences drawn from the French Touch of the 2000s, with Daft Punk in the lead.
Blade – Earthquake
Inspired by today’s great British groups such as Franz Ferdinand or Arctic Monkeys, Lame makes your speakers shake with his new single, entitled “Earthquake”. A catchy title to be found in Up, Down, Aside, his first studio album.
Dirty Honey – Coming Home (Ballad of the Shire)
“As musicians living on the road, the concept of ‘home’ has become any place we play rather than any particular location,” explains Marc LaBelle, lead singer of Dirty Honey. He thus explains the subject of “Coming Home (Ballad of the Shire)”, the group’s new song, taken from the album Can’t Find The Brakes.
Sublime Tragedy – Got that feelin’
The Monegasque group Sublime TragĂ©die invites you on a journey back in time to the rock of the 60s and 70s with their new single entitled “Got that feelin’”. To be found in their first album, Sublime TragĂ©die, already available.
