Is it me or do the rest of the band seem sheepish because of ZANY GUY at the back? I'm guessing he's the keyboard player? |
The Good Days And Cliches Guide To Becoming A French Easycore Band goes as follows:
- Choose a wacky band name. It doesn't matter if it makes sense, you're French and that's charming! Exclamation marks = fun!!!
- (Closely linked to pt 1) Grammar? You don't need it! Your potential fans won't care that you've made yourselves difficult to find online because you've thrown punctuation in like a blind man trying to season a meal cooked in a blender on a bouncy castle.
- Sing in English, with a slight American twang while maintaining your French accent at times. This will ensure no one has a fucking clue what you're singing about and you'll seem more poetic.
- Breakdowns are essential, if your vocalist can sing any of his styles over them, all the better.
- Occasionally throw in a curveball to distinguish your sound from American easycore. This can be achieved with an intelligent drummer, forays into metal(core), a xylophone (though CBTP! have done that..still it sounds good so copy it) and maybe a singer who isn't whiney but can actually sing and for bonus point can do heavier stuff too.
I can't find much of them on Ootube but you can stream their debut EP on bookface.
If you're curious there's a load of another rocking bands 'round their area such as ¡Die Hombre!, Woodson, Unbrained etc. ;)
ReplyDeleteTheir names don't seem wacky enough but I will give them a listen for sure!
