World Watch: Kollision Course

Country: France

Kollision Course are a very new band out of Paris, France. After playing in a number of venues in their home city, the group just released their debut album Ether’s Closure last year.

Tracks like the propulsive “Kill a Teacher” rock out with post-punk guitars and grunge vocals that have just enough pop sheen to help them go down easily. The stomping rhythm would pummel you if it wasn’t so danceable. “Paranoid” shimmers with psychedelic guitars that break out into a noisy rave-up on the chorus. Jim Morrison would approve.

The group thankfully isn’t always in heavy-mode. “The Invitation” is positively jubilant, with its quirky organ line and Cars-like melody. It’s a truly bouncy singalong that should make them indie darlings in any country.

Don’t take my word for it – listen for yourself in our World Watch Playlist!
