Amiens. 2012.
A distant era when playing rock in bars was still in fashion. Antoine met Ronan, and very quickly, a connection grew between the two young musicians, who began dreaming together.
Ten years later, almost without realizing it, the two Amiens natives are still touring French stages with the same conviction: their difference is their strength. An instant chemistry that has grown over albums and concerts into an almost brotherly, solid, and unbreakable bond.
After exploring intimacy with Secret, a introspective debut album, the duo chose in 2024 to look outward. Edgär is Dead, their second release, marked a rockier turn : a true rebirth for the pair. This artistic transformation felt like a return to their roots and a vibrant love letter to the rebellious British waves sweeping through the rainy cities of Northern France.
Amiens. 2026. Edgär returns with Behind The Wall, an album as edgy as it is magnetic, firmly cementing the shift started by the hard-hitting Edgär is Dead. Darker and more visceral, this new record stands as an instinctive response to a world saturated with noise and absurdity. Between restrained rage and liberating tension, the duo reveals a rawer side of their universe, where sonic urgency meets an increasingly refined mastery.
The benevolent shadows of The Strokes and Arctic Monkeys loom large, alongside the punk energy of Bad Nerves and the raw poetry of Fontaines D.C. While Edgär’s signature melodic touch remains fully intact, Behind The Wall marks a turning point: a direct, tense sound built for the stage. A release that smells like spilled beer, body heat, and live electricity. You can already picture it: mosh pits, shouting, and belting out lyrics at the top of your lungs.
Over ten years, Edgär has forged its path with consistency and bold ambition: two EPs, two albums, over 11 million streams, and nearly 300 shows, ranging from the Main Square Festival to opening for Sting, Alice Cooper, and Kyo. A decade of sharp riffs and catchy choruses that has firmly established the duo within the French music landscape.
