- Bio: Together: such are the four Parisians from the band Exsonvaldes since they met at university nearly ten years ago. Grabbing their guitars, always looking for the right hue, their teenage spent listening to Nirvana, the shock with Radiohead, the frenzy of making songs and sending them right to the heart of the battle. After two Eps where the idea of a repertoire and a personal style started to emerge, a genuine first album was eventually released in 2004, both a sum and a manifesto of everything they can and intend to create.
Far from the attempts of categorizing a French rock scene, their singing in English plus their claimed influences ranging from the American indy of Death cab for cutie to the constantly boiling energy of the Belgian scene, gave them rapid access to the European scene. And then came a series of concerts, opening for Girls in Hawaii, noticeable sets in Switzerland or in Praga, successive shows in Bourges and more than a hundred concerts all around France and this only for their first album's tour: Time we spent together.
Thanks to the numerous stage-experiences, the band blossoms and gets closer and closer; meanwhile the audience grows and the critics can't but stress this ability to strike and move: "Straight to the heart" (Nova Magazine); "An impressive musical maturity" (Rocksound), "Absorbing" (Les inrocks).
With each concert, Exsonvaldes overcomes their doubts and sticks to being together, which is the best you can expect from the road.
