Formed in 2001 and based in Lyon, France, the band is comprised of Mauss (vocals, guitar), Yannick (guitar), Christophe (bass), and Mickaël (drums). The band made its full-length album debut in 2005 with L'Année du Chien on Mercury Records. While L'Année du Chien wasn't a major commercial success, it spawned a series of singles: "Cracher Mes Nerfs (L'Amour Est un Combat)," "Qu'importe," and "Te Quiero." The follow-up album Aux Dernières Nouvelles (2007) was more successful, reaching number 157 on the French albums chart and spawning the Top 40 hit single "Je Recherche," a duet with Charlie. The album also spawned the single "À 20 Ans." ~ Jason Birchmeier
