I have always thought that France is somewhat second-rate in the world of rock music, which turned out to be a complete fallacy.
Mickey 3d and Karpatt are two more revelations of mine.
Adding some intrinsically French features to their sound, they still retain the easily recognized sound of the international rock.
More than that, their texts are brain-sweeping: word games, allusions, political, social and historical contexts.
Les gens raisonnables se lèvent toujours à l’heure
Ils n’oublient jamais leur cartable, font bien gaffe de rien abîmer.
(Reasonable people always get up on time, they never forget their briefcase, they always take care not to break something.)
