LES ESCROCS

LES ESCROCS are a lively French ska-rock band that’s been spreading good vibes since forming in the late '90s. Founded by childhood friends Greg (vocals/guitar) and Mat (drums), the group evolved from a punk-inspired duo into a brass-infused collective known for their upbeat rhythms and cheeky social commentary. Their breakthrough debut album *Faites-vous des amis!* (2000) became a cult classic in France’s alternative scene, blending ska energy with reggae grooves and lyrics that poke fun at modern life—themes that still shine in newer tracks like *Super-héros* and *C'est dimanche*.

Over two decades deep, LES ESCROCS keep crowds skanking with their infectious live shows and relatable anthems about everyday struggles and small joys. Their 2019 remaster of *Faites-vous des amis!* reintroduced their signature sound to new listeners, while fresh releases like *Le bal des vilains* prove they’ve still got that rebel spirit. Think catchy hooks, horn sections that hit just right, and lyrics that’ll make you laugh while you question society—all served with a big ol’ wink.
