The slightly older generation of readers that visit this blog will surely have an opinion on this band. Anyone that was around the first time Joy Division or Siouxie & The Banshees screamed into view will find lots of familiar ground with today's recommendation. Their first listen will either stir up a love for this band because of their affinity to the guitar bands synonymous with the late 70s and early 80s, or they'll hate them because of how depressing it is to see how little music has moved on. Everyone else can stand their opinions [...]
Emeline Ancel-Pirouelle © pour hartzine Le matin où j'ai reçu Time Of The Devil s'est révélé un printemps précoce et inattendu. Après des mois à écouter en boucle des opus plus sombres les uns que les autres, hiver oblige, le dernier album de John&Jehn a soufflé un vent chaud dans mon esprit embrumé.

Mélanie, vous la connaissez probablement tous puisque après avoir posé sa voix sur First Date, l'album électro pop de Villeneuve, elle est rapidement devenue l'un des pilier du groupe Nouvelle [...]
I have a hangover and I really don't envy those of you who are at Coachella right now. Why? Cause it's 96 degrees in Tustin so I can only imagine how hellacious the heat is in Indio. Bad enough to warrant usage of the word 'hellacious'. Which apparently isn't even a real word. Look what [...]
In this brand spanking new feature, we'll be bringing you exclusive interviews with the newest and best acts we think you'll love. Kicking things off in grandiose style are John & Jehn . They're a French couple, very much in love, who moved from their hometowns to London at the end of 2006.

Influenced by Serge Gainsbourg, The Velvet Underground, Gang of Four, Joy Division, [...]
