Lùlù - Lùlù (2025)

Lùlù is a power-pop supergroup from Lyon and Marseille, sharing members with local fixtures such as Pogy et les Kéfars, Irnini Mons, AVIONS, Edgar Suit and Fontanarosa.

Lùlù craft and sing in French and Italian, love songs for the anxious and glam rock gems for the dreamers. They have but one thing in mind: delivering hits.
The soundtrack to sleepless nights during the heatwave, nights on the town with the gang chasing up the sunlight and staring at your spilled drink, for fans of Sheer Mag, The Nerves, The Hives or Radioactivity.

A debut that teaches you how to switch off your brain and embrace pure rock joy. Never underestimate the power of rock-’n’-roll. Give me a high-energy, super catchy tune with a strong beat and a bit of flair, and I’m fully recharged. Take the opening track of Lùlù’s self-titled debut LP—out today through Howlin’ Banana Records, Taken By Surprise Records, and Dangerhouse Skylab. That chorus? Still gets me every time. The aaa-dwahdawahdoo/chowachowadoo hook bouncing off crisp French phrasing tickles the part of the brain that likes to be tickled. It’s downright addictive, super fun video included.

Across ten tracks, Lùlù—featuring members of AVIONS, Irnini Mons, Edgar Suit, and Pogy et les Kéfars—delivers a shot of joy. You don’t need the press sheet to know what they’re аbout: reconnecting with the belief that rock-’n’-roll should be fun. And in our recent feature, frontman Luc Simone laid it out clearly: Lùlù was built on a back-to-basics spirit—to-the-point songs, big hooks, and no filler. His musical inspirations are a patchwork of pop instincts and punk attitude—French power pop, Scandinavian punk, ’60s girl groups, Motown, and yes, even hardcore. What links them all? Soul.

And Lùlù has soul to spare. From the wistful ballad Sogni d’Oro to the throwback power pop hits Sonic, Lyon and Terres Basses, and from the riff heavy Ma Si Ma Lo to the bouncy garage rock of Pugni in Tasca, these songs hit with raw urgency and heartfelt melody. It’s a record you don’t analyze—you feel it. The joy is infectious, the hooks hypeworthy, the energy sincere.
