Parisian alt-rockers Storm Orchestra are bursting out of 2025 with their brand new album ‘Get Better,’ which will be released on 11 April via Mascot Records. They have also revealed the video for the propulsive new single “Superplayer.” Watch HERE.

They will also join Sweden’s finest rock ‘n’ rollers, Royal Republic, on their ‘LoveCop’ European tour from 31 January to 16 February. You can get tickets from HERE.

Storm Orchestra operates paradoxically in a space that grapples with opposites to assimilate them into one glorious jewel.  Light and dark, euphoria and heaviness, glamour and aggression are all fused with a tantalizing aura. It’s music that is built for stadiums but made to connect with people. It entwines the infectiousness of Nothing But Thieves, the captivating driving force of Royal Blood, and the melodic ambition of Muse

The three Paris natives have been winding their way through and illuminating the belly of the city’s underground over the last few years. The trio of Maxime Goudard (vocals, guitar), Adrien Richard (bass), and Loïc Fouquet (drums) has been the gem in the French alternative scene since the release of their self-titled debut EP in 2020.

New single “Superplayer” draws an ironic parallel between relationships and the theme of sports. To the sound of a resolutely energetic tune, a couple is sometimes seen as an indissociable, invincible team, sometimes as a competition to deliver the best version of yourself to the other half to maintain this couple-team spirit.

“I wrote the second verse of this one, and the funny story is that I am a football fan,” says Fouquet. “On the bridge, we tried something different because we felt we could use a sing-along, stadium vibe. I’m a big fan of Newcastle United. I’ve been to Newcastle and watched games in Paris and London. So, on the bridge, we had a famous chant. If you listen closely, you may recognize it.”

This month, the band was picked as part of Amazon’s Ones to Watch for the 2025 Series. The band delivered a version of Nelly Furtado’s “Maneater” with their own grandiosity sprinkled throughout the track. You can listen to it HERE.

2024 was a breakout year for the band. Their single “Drummer” was their smash hit and clocked up enormous support in the streaming world’s end-of-year lists, including Deezer 2024 Rock, Amazon Best of 2024: Rock, Spotify Top of The Rock: Best of 2024, and Spotify 2024 Rock Songs You May Have Missed..

They have previously released three singles that feature on ‘Get Better’. “Crush the Mirrors” harvests the heavier and darker side of their arsenal, and they are joined by Bertrand Poncet – who also produced the album – from French hardcore-pop-punk crossover heroes Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! who lends his guttural vocals to the anthemic track. “The tone, theme and overall vibe is darker; I’d even say there is an inner violence to it,” ponders Fouquet.

“Drummer” explores the clichés of rock drummers, portrayed as savage, party-going, unstoppable beings. Goudard’s point of view as a singer, whose fragile, sensitive personality contrasts that of his drummer. It expresses his desire to live life like a drummer, with all the drama that goes with it. Read between the lines and the song depicts a glorified wild life that hides deep emotional wounds. On the shimmering “Bright Soul,” Goudard opens up about his fear of letting his dark side take over the person he wants to be.

Driven by their high-intensity live shows, they’ve captured lightning in a bottle and are now selling out clubs across France. Goudard reflects, “We always come to a show with the biggest smile and a crazy load of energy. We want people to get energized, to let off steam, and leave wanting more. We are always exhausted right after the set; if not, it means something went wrong!”

‘Get Better’ touches on societal issues, relationships, and the inner struggles that we all have, along with the dark side of your personality. “For me, it’s all connected,” explains the singer. “Society makes us vulnerable, so we need love to keep us sane. So everything is just a piece of a big puzzle.”

Storm Orchestra inhabits that place between our ‘mask’ and the complex emotions cascading through our brains. “The album represents the inner struggle,” ponders Goudard. He expands, “In the morning, you are angry with society, but you tell yourself, ‘I’ve got to have a good day, so I’m going to listen to a party song to make myself smile,’ and it’s that struggle inside of us. It’s an internal combat.”

They’ve shone on the festival circuit, captivated crowds on a tour of Germany in September with Lonely Spring, and announced themselves on the big stage when they opened for Black Stone Cherry at L’Olympia, Paris, earlier in November 2024.

Rarely has the complexities of our struggles that they tackle on “Bright Soul,” “Drummer,” “Crush the Mirrors,” “Tear Myself Down,”  and “Get Back in Time”, along with the societal weight of the likes of “We Will Be The Last,” “Our Victory,” and “Cut Loose, Somehow,” been packaged with such a visceral and luscious effect—Storm Orchestra is here to be your new favourite band.
