Projet Orange - Megaphobe
Written by Nicholas Jennings    PDF Print E-mail

Projet Orange - MegaphobeA strange thing happened while this Montreal band was making its second French album: Jean-Sebastien Boies was diagnosed with a blood poisoning disease, prompting his brother, Jean-Christophe, to try his hand at English lyrics. The label loved the material, leading to collaborations with singer-songwriter Simon Wilcox and this, largely English album. Now, armed with promising songs like “Tell All Your Friends,” Projet Orange is ready to give Simple Plan, another Montreal bilingual band, a run for its money.
