Les Fatals Picards are the proud court jesters of French modern rock, with an excitable mix of folk, pop-punk, and Ween-like weirdness that's matched by irreverent lyrics satirizing topical targets on the left and right. No one is safe from their crosshairs: Everyone from hunters to humanitarians to rock ‘n' roll legend Johnny Hallyday to goth gods The Cure have wound up on the receiving end of their merciless darts. But Les Fatals Picards' ample bonhomie and catchy, shout-'em-out choruses ultimately unite audiences rather than divide them—in 2007, the band was even invited to represent France at Eurovision.
