11:11

Bandit Bandit are releasing their debut album, "11:11". Rock, but much more. Revealed a few seasons ago thanks to its abrasive riffs, the duo imposes its unique style in France, as well as its insolent ease with the French language. After two electrifying EPs, it was time for the duo to "go beyond rock", to mix genres, to take its chances with pop, to find its way between raw rock and the more sophisticated indie.

So far self-centered and cathartic, the lyrics on "11:11" remain personal while proving to be political, freed from prudishness, playing with words. Their melodic sensitivity and their sheer energy resonate loudly throughout the album with an insatiable and contagious desire.
