French musical artists Raphaël and Mathieu met each other at university when they were playing guitar and bass in a local garage/punk band. Fast forward to 2020 in Paris, and they have left their previous band and have now made The Grand Prix, an innovative and dynamic duo that has already composed its first EP.
Their drummer, Victor, would join the band later in the summer of 2020, enhancing the original demos with the strength of natural beats. In 2021, The Grand Prix I EP was released, and in 2022, bassist Germain joined the group to assist with the album’s tour, complimenting the band’s previous work and taking it forward as a fully accomplished quartet.
The band has expressed some of their main influences, which you can certainly hear undertones of throughout their pieces. These include bands and artists such as Tame Impala, Tyler The Creator, Black Midi, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Weekend and Slow Thai.
The band’s latest release, “Surf Panama”, is psychedelic rock meeting western undertones at its very best. This quasi-instrumental mini-epic will take you on an exciting harmonious journey, as if you were back in the desert, galloping on horseback, with Muse’s Knights of Cydonia.
