Biography : Firecrackers

On a cold february night in 2005, we joined each other to play a Ramones cover just for fun. We just knew each other from the local music scene, & there was not much to do in downtown Grenoble, so why not play good old rock'n'roll uh ? Yann had the "She Demon" riff, he played it to us,and the song was completed by the end of the night.
From that point, eveything just snowballed.
"She Demon" was to become the title of our first 6 tracks EP released by our own means only 6 month after this rehearsal, & few days after our 4th gig (opening for Hellacopters !). There was no masterplan, it just happened that we played more and more concerts, sold more & more records, and made more and more songs that were to appear on the first album "Gotta Love it" released in november 2006 by Un Dimanche Records. The album & the "Break Out" single did pretty well, concerts too, and the team grew by having Le Periscope as booking agency by the end of 2007. It was by that time that we released our first 7"vinyl single (an old dream) "I must protect my soul/Out of Gasoline" and started thinking about the new album that we wanted to do on different sessions. So we did three sessions for the new album (called "Firecrackers" just because we had no other idea to be honest), and to make people (& ourselves) happy before the release we had the "Still Alive/Chasing(roots)down" single out on Longfellow Deeds Records in november 2008.
And now here we are with a new album we really love. It's hard to talk about it, because it's just words. So listen, and enjoy before we meet LIVE !
We've already shared stages with bands like The Hellacopters, Sahara Hotnights, The Lords Of Altamont, Tokyo Sex Destruction, The Willowz, Hush Puppies, Robocop Kraus, Alamo Race Track, The Elderberries, Wampas, Burning Heads, Parabellum, Holy Curse, Rodeo Massacre, Kill The Young, Jerry Spider Gang, Bob & Lisa ...
