JE T’AIME BIOGRAPHY:
dBoy : Vocals / Crazy Z. : Bass / Little Bastard : Guitar

JE T'AIME: for these few letters, some live, some go mad, but above all, many die.

Live until you go mad, live until you die - that's the credo of the cold-wave trio whose spirited spleen sprang from the muggy basements of Parisian nightlife in 2018. While the classic post-punk and new wave influences are obviously there, the driving rain that falls on these three anti-heroes is tinged with the flashing colors of neon lights and their artificial heat. JE T'AIME stirs up your guts as much as your behinds, and blows the codes with a jubilant, touching snarl.

After a self-titled debut album released in 2019 on Manic Depression and Icy Cold Records, the band signed the diptych PASSIVE/AGGRESSIVE in 2022, choosing Valentine's Day and All Souls' Day to release both parts. In the few years of its existence, JE T'AIME has rocked audiences at Belgium's W-Fest, Poland's Castle Party Festival, England's Infest Festival, Portugal's Extramuralhas and Germany's Wave Gotik Treffen... If Europe has to learn a few French words, it might as well be “JE T'AIME”.

"Useless Boy" 3 Edition ALBUM STORY:

In 2024, JE T'AIME is six years old. Their new album, Useless Boy, is an expressionist cry, a sad party where the melancholic thrill is always hidden behind illusory comforts. More than ever, it's a flight into the future, a rejection of the dreary conventions of the real world. JE T'AIME locks itself away in its own intimate universe to avoid confronting dull, tasteless normality. Sorrows are sublimated by the all-consuming energy of a trio for whom maturing rhymes with dying, skilfully juggling nostalgia and modernity.

JE T'AIME finds grace in its rejection of uniformity, and pushes back against the outside world, trapped in prisons that also protect. Useless Boy is a new album of invisible walls, fractures, anguish and broken dreams... But since all victories are vain illusions, JE T'AIME's exuberance and torment are a saving tornado, an antidote to the lies we tell ourselves day after day: no, we're not learning anything, we're not growing, and our glory days won't give meaning to our lives. In any case, this austere world leaves no room for the Useless Boys.
