Chains is no exception. It expresses an incomprehension of institutions, a feeling of confinement and a leave her native Algeria leaving everything behind, and the father who left us too soon to ever be called desire to be liberated. "Last day of a convict" and "Les Misérables" by Victor Hugo are readings that I had in mind "grandfather". This song is about my family, to those who are no longer here but also those who are not yet of this when writing. Musically the arrhythmias we can hear in bands like Lewis Del Mar influ enced us for the world. The musical choice is neither complaint nor nostalgia, but on the contrary energy and st rength, those to arrangement of the composition, and when this mix between rock and trap - acoustic and electric - began to pass on to future generations and those to keep to face the future. ” emerge, we naturally wanted to invite a rapper on the song, because hip-hop is for us a form of modern blues. The connection with the Californian Charles X was natural for us because we share the same publisher (Alter-K), we hit it off at one of his concerts and when we began to think about a collaboration, we knew that this song would “We met The Toxic Avenger during the making of our first album, our label (Roy Music) had asked him to remix be the one. ” "Old Man".
