Les Fatals Picards is a French punk rock music group known for their blend of humor and commentary, with a distinct twist of the French chanson tradition. Emerging in the late 1990s, the band has built an enduring presence in the French music scene, characterized by their sharp wit and catchy tunes that often contain satirical and politically charged lyrics. The band's lineup has evolved over the years, with founding members Ivan Callot and Laurent Honel at its core, along with additional musicians joining and contributing to the vibrant dynamic that defines their sound.

Over the years, Les Fatals Picards have produced a diverse discography that demonstrates their ability to tackle a wide array of topics with both levity and depth. Notable among their releases is "Coming Out," an album that sees the group touching on themes of identity and societal norms with their trademark humor. They've also showcased their energetic performance style through live recordings such as "14.11.14 (Live)." Albums like "Le syndrome de Göteborg" and "Espèces menacées" further exemplify their ongoing commitment to addressing contemporary issues, while albums like "Fatals picards country club" display their musical versatility. The group's participation in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 with the song "L'amour à la française" significantly raised their international profile, cementing their status as a uniquely French contribution to the global punk rock landscape.
