Amazon.ca Kyo: Forget the revolutionary from "La Condition Humaine" stone-cold dead with his cyanide pill, and think instead of the Japanese name familiar to fans of manga and video games. Kyo, a band consisting of the Dubos brothers, Fabien (drums) and Florian (guitar), accompanied by two companions they met in school in the Yvelines region, managed to find "Le Chemin" (The Path) that leads to the top of the charts. This single, recorded with the singer Sita, demonstrates the talent of the quartet, experts in melodies as solid as their friendship, full of guitar riffs, string arrangements, and vocal harmonies ("Dernière danse", "Chaque seconde", "Tout reste à faire"). Their pop-rock, influenced by the energy of US metal (Alice In Chains, Limp Bizkit, Deftones) and lightly sprinkled with electronics, hides universal wounds: the agony of a couple ("Dernière Danse") or the lack of communication ("Comment te dire"), jealousy ("Je saigne encore"), or frustration ("Je te vends mon âme"). Two years after a first discographic attempt and a successful run as a warm-up act, from Indochine to Placebo, the time for confirmation has arrived for Kyo. --Sabrina Silamo
