THE TRADERS started in 2010 with a simple goal: filling an opening slot for a Dead To Me show in France. What followed was more than 200 shows in twenty countries. Oops. From French clubs to Belarusian garages, the band released Too Young So Old in 2013 — a fiery debut album blending tight punk with rock’n’roll riffs. The record led to another wave of touring across Europe, the UK, Russia and Canada, sharing stages with bands such as Dead To Me, The Flatliners, The Arteries, Petrol Girls. How Much Art Can You Take? was released at the end of 2023, marking a more ambitious and refined direction. This new chapter was tragically overshadowed by the passing of Clément, guitarist, one month before the release. Determined to bring these songs to life, the trio resumed touring in 2024 with Charles, playing extensively across France and then internationally (Europe / Canada). With this second record, The Traders continue shaping their strong identity with passion. Avoiding overly straightforward song structures, blending punk, rock’n’roll, stoner and even pop with surprising coherence. Gritty bass, fast drums, tight — sometimes even jazzy — guitars: the cocktail is tense, energetic, and unpretentiously melodic. June 2026, "Facets, facets" is released as a new punk / rock'n'roll anthem that leads slowly to new flavor brought by Charles : darker, louder than ever
