The Defigurheads / New Album Coming Soon

Un groupe de Rock à l’énergie électrique », c’est ce que titrait déjà la presse locale à propos de The Defigurheads dès ses débuts. Il faut dire que ce qui caractérise le groupe, c’est l’énergie qu’il déploie sur scène, avec seulement trois musiciens.

Avec la sortie du premier EP autoproduit, fin 2014, The Defigurheads annonce la couleur avec un son puissant, organique et vivant. Ce disque rappelle le son Rock des années 70 tels que Led Zeppelin, Queen ou The Who. Mais il contient aussi une nouvelle vibe et un côté psychédélique avec la chanson « Yuri’s Got A Dream » qui est aussi le titre de l’EP et qui annonce alors déjà un côté rêveur et cosmique pour le groupe.
