About Me

Above all, thanks for bumping into this page.
Very old songs running in the player above.
We are currently working hard to record a new album. Stay tuned, for though there ain't no real songs from our part for the moment, we will soon add brand new ones in the player.

Lafayette Overdrive is a French band that was created in May 2004. It was first called Exies. Since then, the band has changed its name, its music and its line-up several times. Now Lafayette Overdrive are Lukas Richarz (drums), Benjamin Rat (bass), Maxime Goudard (lead vocals), Florian Moulin (guitar, vocals) & Michaël Le Berre (guitar, vocals). Our music is that of a band which does not know whether it wants to play pop music or hardcore. Therefore, it fluctuates between pop, hardcore, but also post-rock and noisy overtones, between the despair of a Radiohead and the energy of a Refused. In May 2006, the band recorded and released a homemade EP made up of four tracks, entitled "A Million Miles Too Close".


Lafayette Overdrive a été créé en Mai 2004, tout d'abord sous le nom d'Exies. Depuis, le groupe a évolué, a changé de nom, de musique et de line-up à plusieurs reprises. Maintenant, Lafayette Overdrive se compose de Lukas Richarz (batterie), Benjamin Rat (basse), Maxime Goudard (chant), Florian Moulin (guitare, chant) & Michaël Le Berre (guitare, chant). Notre musique oscille entre pop, hardcore, relents post-rock et envolées noisy, entre le désespoir d'un Radiohead et l'énergie d'un Refused. Le groupe a enregistré et sorti, courant Mai 2006, une première démo 4-titres autoproduite, intitulée "A Million Miles Too Close".
