Vismets & Soma: two times essential rock, sharp, playful and keen.

Vismets is a fresh local revelation featuring Dany, Tony, Niky and Ramy Vismets (no, they're not all family). First to be heard as a project via Myspace in early '06. The year after that they were already a solid live trio, in the meantime they've become a powerful quartet (see too: ABBota 09), and now they've finally finished their first CD. What do they mean by 'rock baroque electro barré'? Just check out their overwhelming 'Wasted Party' !

Soma is that excitable French power-band that recently delivered its solid debut CD: 'Jewel And The Orchestra' (via Sony and mixed by Dave Sardy, the guy from Rage Against The Machine, Cold War Kids, Jet, Robert Francis...) Les Inrocks apparently spoke of 'Puissants et malins, rageurs et rigolards, d'une efficacité folle... une réponse aux hymnes immenses des Killers.'
