When Olivier moves to Paris, the adventure seems to be ended. Not quite though, as Cyrille (the guitar player) and Frank (the drummer) also move to the capital town. They have the thrilling idea of making up a new group. They decide to find a new musical identity as well as a new bass guitarist, who must meet a special requirement: survive their vodka-liquorice-olives-anchovies after rehearsal drink. A man in a million (or maybe more). A friend of the group, Guillaume, brave and liking drinks providing there is vodka in the recipe, joins the HushPuppies, as they are now called, with Wilfried, already on keyboards with the Likyds.
That perfect team of five musicians develops an unique style, subtile combination of the dirtiest rock sound and the most atmospheric melodies.
Their live and stunning performances in Paris (La Scène, Glaz’art, le Nouveau Casino among others) attract an audience each time wider, although not used to such shows. Nevertheless the southern French accent of Perpignan spreads over Paris.
During summer 2003 the Hushpuppies have the opportunity to record in a studio where they polish their songs, gaining thus a new colour. Four pieces are recorded, revealing the talent of the Hushpuppies as well as their true personality. They prove to be as comfortable with both their garage rock and electro-psychedelic inclinations, as well as with both their native tongue and English.
In june 2004, Benjamin Diamond sign HushPuppies on his label Diamondtraxx, a new EP is recorded during the summer and is available now! With this new E.P. the group set up the basis of an unrestrained rock music, far from the French rock world clichés..."
The Trap is the first album of Hushpuppies, released in 2005.

Hushpuppies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say light, i'm strong
You say, you will be never alone
But you have to do everything that could be done
I say leavin' this out and believe in me
Leavin' this out you will satisfy me
I say leavin' this out and believe in me
Leavin' this out you will satisfy me
I did not push you down
You want to see my face
Full of love, you can get stressed
You'd better think, twice, before saying i'm not right
But i can see through your eyes, i can see you won't realize
I say leavin' this out and believe in me
Leavin' this out you will satisfy me
I say leavin' this out and believe in me
Leavin' this out you will satisfy me
You're gonna do wrong
You'd better think, i might be right
You want to give up
I did not push you down
But you can see what is my way
Treat me the same anyway
But you can see it anyway
Treat me as you did some days
I say leavin' this out and believe in me
Leavin' this out you will satisfy me
I say leavin' this out and believe in me
Leavin' this out you will satisfy me
The lyrics to Hushpuppies' "Single" revolve around two people in a relationship where one is trying to control the other. The first few lines establish that the singer's partner is constantly telling them what to do and not allowing them the freedom to make their own decisions. The singer's response is to ask their partner to leave this out and trust in them instead, as they will feel much more satisfied and fulfilled that way.
The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer insisting that leaving out the control and trusting in them will lead to satisfaction. The second verse takes a slightly more aggressive tone, with the singer warning their partner that they might be wrong and that they should think twice before saying otherwise. However, they still offer the same solution - leave out the control and trust in them.
Overall, the lyrics seem to be advocating for trust and independence in relationships, with the idea that trying to control someone will ultimately lead to dissatisfaction.
