Each is a rock band emerging from Eastern France. The quartet released their debut EP »Shake« on March 21st, 2025 in digital format via VAKRM Records / Baco Distribution. Four hard-hitting tracks blending stoner riffs with raw garage energy.
The band has been making a name for itself over the past two years on stages across the East, from Épinal to Lyon, and even Switzerland. They continue on their path, leading them to Le Moloco in Audincourt. The contemporary music venue has welcomed them into its artist support program. Their sound sharpens, their stage presence grows, and the project takes shape. In December 2023, Each made itself at home as the opening act for Mass Hysteria, playing to a packed Moloco.
Their ultimate goal is to share their energy with the audience. Their lyrics explore deeply personal emotions, unspoken truths, and intimate experiences, while also touching on current social issues.
Each consists of Lucile Volpei on vocals, Maxime Cecchini on guitar, Thibaut Barbier on drums and François Guigon on bass.
Can you please say a few words about your band?
We are 4 friends coming from the East of France, and we play garage/stoner rock.
What was the biggest challenge for the band?
Working on our very first EP (composing, recording and releasing it…)
What can you be most proud of so far?
We’ve made a lot of progress in just a few months, in terms of composing, sound and stage performance. We’re able to play really cool gigs now and we have positive feedback from the public!
What was your biggest regret?
The project is only at its beginning so we can’t really talk about regrets yet…Maybe the departure of our friend and guitarist Pierre, who founded EACH with us.
What was the best concert/tour so far and why?
The release party of »Shake« at La Poudrière in Belfort. It was the perfect reward for all the work we had done these past few years ! In second position we’d put Grrrnd Zero in Lyon, we played there in october and the venue, the energy and the audience were amazing.
What was the biggest surprise on the music scene for you?
Thib + Max: Slift.
François: Idles.
Lucile: Brutus.
What is currently in your heavy musical rotation?
Thib: Wormsand, Wyatt E, The Maniax.
Max: Karen Diò, King Gizzard, Wine Lips.
François: Masters Of Reality, Pigs x7, Sleep Token.
Lucile: Gojira, Kvelertak, Led Zeppelin.
What was the best advice you’ve ever been given as a musician?
MORE FUZZ!
Seriously, a close friend of ours (Master Martinez aka LeChicain) gave us some of the best advice to create osmosis between the four of us on stage, and it took us to the next level.
What are your guilty pleasures?
Thib: Macumba by Jean-Pierre Mader.
François: Bando (ft. JuL).
Lucile: Eurodance in general.
Max: Italo-pop and Kinder Surprise.
Can you say something more about the current music scene in Franche-Comté?
We come from Montbéliard and Belfort which are very industrial, working class towns. There’s a strong rock and metal scene in our region, and a lot of venues and organisations work together to keep local music alive, despite the decreasing number of bars offering live music performances…
Where can we see you live this year (concerts/tours)?
Mainly in the East part of France (maybe Slovenia one day? Who knows 😀 )
What are your plans for the future as a band?
First of all, promoting our first EP, »Shake«, and working on the next release!
How can people best support your band?
Come and see us play obviously, and buy some of our beautiful merchandising items…
Do you have any message for your listeners?
We’d like to thank every person who came to see us perform on stage and supported us! And also all the listeners we didn’t get the chance to meet yet, we hope to see you soon.
