PROJECT is one of the two regional winners of the Raismes Fest talent contest, which took place during Chti Rock last May. With influences such as Deep Purple, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, and Van Halen, and a 30-year history. David and Philippe launched the Project adventure right in the midst of the grunge era, when melodic hard rock was about as welcome as a Lens fan at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium. “Never Surrender,” “En Avant Guingamp”—the band overcomes obstacles without breaking a sweat, touring notably in France, Germany, and Poland. With 2 EPs, 3 LPs, and 1 live DVD—featuring accessible music with a few heavy touches, stunning solos, and choruses you’ll want to sing at the top of your lungs—Project perfectly embodies the spirit of powerful AOR and is set to set the Raismes Fest ablaze right from the opening.
