Né début 2007 des cendres de deux groupes franciliens bien connus de la scène métal hardcore (Wunjo et Kwamis), Bukowski est un trio péchu et résolument rock.
Avec son Power Rock pétri d’influences, c’est toute l’énergie qui ressort à bout de nerfs, dans cette plus que parfaite union de trois personnalités qui luttent et envoient valser leurs démons communs dans les cordes. Et ce, sans se couper d’une dimension mélodique et introspective forte qui frôle la mélancolie.
Leur premier album « Amazing Grace » sorti en 2009, suivi d’une tournée internationale, est accueilli chaleureusement par une presse et un public enthousiastes. Rock Hard salue d’ailleurs la prouesse en insérant Bukowski dans son Top 2009 entre Megadeth et Kiss !
Retour donc au studio Sainte Marthe l’été 2010 pour enregistrer « The Midnight Sons »,le digne successeur d’ « Amazing Grace » par un Francis Caste toujours aussi dantesque dans sa qualité de production. "The Midnight Sons" , élu "Meilleur Album Rock 2011" par OUIFM.
Une grosse tournée à suivre en 2011/2012, avec notamment en point d’orgue, en Juillet 2011 LE SONISPHERE France avec METALLICA, ANTHRAX, MEGADETH, DREAM THEATER, SLIPKNOT, AIRBOURNE, MASTODON, PAPA ROACH, VOLBEAT...
et le HELLFEST en Juin 2012 en compagnie de GUNS N’ ROSES, MEGADETH, MOTLEY CRUE, OZZY OSBOURNE, REFUSED, SLASH, DROPKICK MURPHYS, BIOHAZARD, TURBONEGRO etc.
English version :
The power band Bukowski delivers power rock songs that manage to keep some melodious, sometimes graceful, accents. Now sarcastic, now introspective, their music is an addictive trip. As chaotic as it is charismatic, this band, whose tireless members will put you at a loss to define their music, is a must-hear and a must-see.
Born at the begining of 2007 from the remains of two well-known parisian hardcore bands (Wunjo and Kwamis), Bukowski is an association of two brothers and a friend. Quickly, the band has managed to get strong connections without really seeking them : first came Davy Portela (producer and guitarist of Lula Fortune and former member of Pleymo) who produced their first two tracks, then Bill (producer and singer of Enhancer) turned up to produce the next two ones. They immediatly received a strong following and a lot of major bands from the national and interntional rock scene have invited them on stage, among them Fu Manchu, Gojira, Eths, Dub Trio, Mass Hysteria, Unswabbed, Aqme…
Their live performances have increased their popularity and credibility. They have now become a real reference in French hardcore rock music. Each performance is a communion between these three different personalities who meet up with their inner demons in a display of strength and raw energy.
The group knew how to grind its show !… Argentina, Ireland, Germany, Belgium, France : Bukowski leaves on roads, in 2009, on the meeting of his public and marks the spirits.
In the same year, the power trio brings out Amazing grace warmly welcomed by a laudatory press. Rock Hard greets moreover the production by giving him a place of choice between Megadeth and Kiss in its top album 2009 ! Bukowski recorded new album « The Midnight Sons », released by Francis Caste, out February 14th.
"The Midnight Sons" awarded Best Album Rock By OUIFM.
