French Music? (country, punk, myspace, 60's, bands)

Inquisitor · 08-19-2006, 08:56 AM

I'm looking for some up-beat, modernish French music.
Does anybody know the names of any french musicians/groups/songs?

Thanks

ill get in on this too.
aside from a few bands [which are more than probably not what youre looking for], everythings like, linkinpark/atreyu, kinda not so fun .
OH, actually, i found someone called capucine [ithink] which i loved, but never been able to find more than 2 songs & now ive lost the bloody place i found it, so if anyone has any & feels like sharing id be hella grateful.

for Amanda Woodward, and I like Okploide, it's French punk/ska. French is the perfect language for this.

Oh, thankyou. I'm not so keen on these so far though, unfortunately ;( I'm after something more up-beat, fresh and french-sounding. Possibly pop. Not sure..

The sort of music that would be good to listen to as you tootled down a french country road in a bright yellow convertable renault megane with sunflowers on the back seat..

France Gall. 60's french girl pop. Insanely catchy.

There were no demons, no hellfire or brimstone, just a deep, complete feeling of darkness and hopelessness. This was the never-ending void. Not at all how I had imagined it, but worse than I thought that it could have been.
