Louise Attaque is an emblematic French rock band whose name derives from a play on words involving the American artist Louise Bourgeois and the phrase "violent attack" in French. The band was formed in 1994 by Gaëtan Roussel (vocals and guitar), Arnaud Samuel (violin), Robin Feix (bass), and Alexandre Margraff (drums). Their music is known for blending elements of traditional French chanson with folk-rock and punk influences. The band shot to fame with their self-titled debut album released in 1997, which remains one of the best-selling French albums of all time, infusing the musical landscape with hits like "J't'emmène au vent" and "Ton invitation."

Over the years, Louise Attaque has experienced both critical acclaim and commercial success while managing to maintain a dedicated fan base. After a hiatus, the group reunited and continued to produce new music, showcasing their evolution while staying true to their distinctive style. Their most recent albums include "Anomalie" (2016) and its Deluxe edition, which reveal a group that is still experimenting and pushing their sound in new directions. The album features reflective and insightful songs, and its release was followed by live performances and new material that includes “Grazie” and “La frousse”. With a blend of passion and poetry, Louise Attaque continues to capture the essence of French rock spirit, resonating across generations of listeners.
