Ah, French pop culture. Not nearly as grungy and suggestive as our trashy rap/ hip-hop scene here in the states. Actually, its really different. Much French pop gives off that feel-good, breeze-through-hair, everything-my-way kinda vibe. They do have rock bands, but in my opinion, those give off the same vibe.
I was curious to know about the French music scene, so taking the most direct route, I asked a French kid, my e-penpal from Paris. She recommended a few artists, one of them being Johnny Depp’s wife, Vanessa Paradis, who apparently sings en francais. Hmmm… She also said her favorite band was one by the name of Kyo, which turned out to be a freakin’ awesome rock band. But my favorite of her recommendations was definitely French band Superbus, which has had songs on Guitar Hero and such. Here’s one of my favorite songs from them, probably their most well-known song.
Do you like it? I think they’re alot like Paramore. hmmm…..
Tell me what you think

I think they are kind of like Paramore in the fact that the lead singer is a girl, but other than that they’re not that much the same…
Comment by emmabobemma February 19, 2008 @ 6:21 pmi agree with emma. all girl-lead bands give off that kind of vibe, but they seem more like avril than hayley.
and kyo… well, the japanese rip off the french, i suppose they can do the same back

Comment by msperception February 22, 2008 @ 1:19 pm@Maggie: WUT?! Well, actually, Japanese and French sound similar sometimes, but this isn’t really one of those songs…
