LIGHT SPEED - OUT NOW

Following the bands first single, Punk/Metal anthem 'Bad Death City' which continues to gather considerable media attention and airplay, Joe La Truite are proud to follow up with their next instalment with Pedal to the Metal song 'Light Speed' will be in-store and streaming 11th April 2025
 
‘Light Speed’ instantaneously drops you in the cockpit with JLT(Joe), the main character of this song, created by Julien Liphard (guitar/vocals), Charles Roussel (Bass/ Vocals) and Martin Denquin (Drums). Driving the song forward at, shall we say, light speed pace, this song delivers the signature sound of the bands Psychedelic Punk Metal music.
 
At the entrance, the guitar, with drum and bass interloping does not prepare for the impact as Denquin puts his foot down 20 seconds in taking Roussel and Liphard with him and driving Joe into third gear. Vocals kick in and Light Speed jumps to full throttle which is maintained throughout the song. 6 feet on the accelerator, 6 hands upon the wheel, all pushing the momentum as they race to rescue JLT from themselves.
 
With the entire album based on a gaming experience, this fast paced track with satirical lyrics, is a tongue in cheek look at life gone ‘bye-bye’ whilst gaming at Light Speed pace. And then perhaps we can go for an Ice-cream.

“Bad Death City” encapsulates everything fans have come to love about Joe La Truite —infectious grooves, eccentric melodies, and a raw, energetic performance. With this single, the band prepares to present their bold new direction to the world, cementing their place in the underground music scene.

Review

"The second single, 'Light Speed', which will be released on 11th April, starts off by exploiting the intuition of the master Les Claypool, but in the blink of an eye it transforms into a bizarre punk/metal monster with the head of Dog Fashion Disco and the body of early System Of A Down.

ABOUT

MUSIC
..................................

Joe La Truite’s sound is impulsive and was born of a desire to send out ultra-efficient energy through Psychedelic Punk-Metal music.

The origin of the band’s name Joe La Truite is no more than a pretext to their song-writing that allows this trio total freedom in the direction and the mood of each song. Each track is highly diversified and reminiscent of some of the great progressive metal bands, yet stylistically unique.

Joe La Truite render song-lines based on characters who are not too tightly wrapped, of mind nor soul. A warrior brought back to life, a city planet, a nightclub with permanent entry, a missing super hero, a cult of evil children, cosmic vegetables, a trout on the brink of dying…. Friendships forged and tears shed. Stories lurking in those very streets of the band’s transception………………Somewhere near Marseille.
