Tout part à vaux-l'eau, y compris chez Michelin. Ainsi, alors que l'entreprise clermontoise parvenait à distiller un je-ne-sais-quoi de sympathie dans nos cœurs grâce à sa tradition paternaliste auvergnate toute surannée et son Bibendum alcoolique, voilà que ses nouveaux dirigeants sabordent son image à petit feu. Avez-vous vu ce qu'ils ont fait de Bibendum ? Cette fière mascotte n'est plus qu'un gros chewing-gum gavé de stéroïdes et affublé d'un sourire de Playmobil. Elle semble avoir été conçue par un graphiste moldave qui s'exerçait pour la première fois sur un logiciel de modélisation [...]

SINGAPORE : I'm Waking Up To... Caracal - Bears Brazen smatterings of post-hardcore and hard rock are the name of Caracal's game, something they do exceptionally well. There are shades of Underoath, Fugazi and mewithoutYou all over their straight-shooting, swashbuckler of an album, Bear. Shark. Wolf. Even if the music's genre isn't your cup of tea, one thing you can never fault this young band on is how proudly they wear their hearts on [...]

Teen Whistle is a sweet and innocent singalong, instantly getting you into the right mood for the week ahead. Young Michelin's self-titled debut EP is available via Bulle Sonore Records . Not sure why they painted the dog though. Young Michelin - Teen Whistle
