La Roux For those who haven't picked up the hype since "Quicksand" was released by independent French record label Kitsune in 2007, here's the breath of fresh air we've all been waiting for.
Eleanor "Elly" Jackson's killer voice along with Ben Langmaid's enchanting synth, create the perfect 80's London New Wave band.
The influences are obvious, David Bowie, Depeche Mode, Prince, Madonna, The Knife, Heaven 17 are certainly only a few.
La Roux's eponymous debut album was released by Polydor UK and she's under Cherrytree in the US.
We are thrilled to see this 21-year-old Rousse fighting for her individuality and character, don't even bother, she's Bulletproof and In for the Kill.
This simply is some wicked electro/rock/pop/BAM!/music mate!

Everything starts in 2005, when MySpace was blooming and working its magic: Antoine "Mikey Rocks" Reed stumbles upon one of Evan "Chuck English" Ingersoll's beats.
A duo is born.
Their alternative Hip Hop sounds have an addictive tune and a BumBleGum'Yo flow.

These once "underground sensations", have been bringing us back to some Old School Feeling giving us their dope XXIst Century twist, they've been collaborating, touring and/or opening for artists such as Lil' Wayne, A-Trak, Diplo and M.I.A..Their tracks have been featured in video games (NBA Live 2008, "88"), soft drink commercials (Mountain Dew, "Delivery Man"), as well as Tv series (Entourage, "I'm Mikey").
Non-other than Don Cannon will produce their 2010 upcoming debut album "When Fish Ride Bicycles".
Although some might think that their success has been slow although progressive, We, BumBle & Gum, enjoy the fact that we can still cherish every single second ticking away from mass stardom.
Until then, become a fan, and enjoy the mix-tape Gone Fishing!
