Based on incisive rhythms, intoxicating riffs and dyslexic lyrics, this music defies classification. Out of control, it is sometimes pop and melancholic, sometimes skinned-raw, but always aggressive. They try to exist in the fringe of the French musical movement, like some no-future bastards, totally devoted to non-stop amazing performance. They perform all their live shows as if they play with their own lives.
On stage, the KAP BAMBINO's impressive turmoil has an identity of its own - playful, wild and without compromise.
This project is an outlet that allows them to express, together, all their energy and delirium, beside their respective sideprojects GROUPGRIS and KHIMA FRANCE.
Dead Lazers
Kap Bambino Lyrics

On a blue wallpaper, in the holes of my eyes
Some cracked and rubbish stuffs
I can't sleep, I have the fucking the fucking speed
The bass sounds go up through my pillow
And I can't stand it anymore
I'm throwing myself off the bed
I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna do it
I don't care about the distance
I want to see dead lazers in the night
It's the only thing I want
I want to see dead lazers in the night
Those we can see flirting with the stars
Before crashing on the empty highways
They bring you up to a vital point,
In the middle of the greyness,
On the edge of the city
Above the industrial zones
They are kings and queens
On the roof of the disco
That's where I'm going to
I want to see dead lazers in the night
I don't care about the distance
I want to see dead lazers in the night
It's the only thing I want
I arrive, I draw a circle around myself
Nobody talks, everybody dances
Dancing for the sake of dancing
Letting out for the sake of letting out
We don't care about the rest
We'll see that closely
Farther, higher, we'll be better
Soon we'll be tired
Everything will calm down in the morning
Maybe, at last, we'll be fine
The song "Dead Lazers" by Kap Bambino is a fast-paced, techno-electronic song with a hard-hitting beat that matches its adrenaline-pumping lyrics. The song starts by describing the singer's (presumably the lead singer's) state of being, as they struggle to sleep and are plagued by disturbing images. The lyrics are vivid and graphic, painting a picture of a distressed individual who is unable to cope with their surroundings.
The singer then talks about how they want to see "dead lazers in the night". This appears to be a metaphor for finding a sense of release, freedom, and excitement amid urban life and its dullness. They don't care about distance, and they're determined to find what they're looking for. As the song progresses, the singer describes the journey to the destination in more detail. They describe the thrill of the adventure, the freedom of dancing, and the release that comes with letting go of everything else.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics hint at a sense of satisfaction as the singer describes a feeling of serenity that they hope to find in the morning after all the excitement dies down. The song is a commentary on modern-day living, where people are increasingly disconnected from their surroundings, and it takes an extreme form of release to feel alive. It's a dark but powerful commentary on the human condition in the modern age.

How does this not have millions of views? People suck at listening to music.
