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.
Hey!
Kap Bambino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see them load it into your face,
I see them load it into your brain.
Yesterday you have sold your ghost to the commercial devil,
lots of crap music and lots of cheap x-club.
Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!
Is there a time for that, yeah?
But its time to change, Yeah!
The lyrics to Kap Bambino's "Hey!" appear to be a commentary on the state of modern music and the influence of commercialism. The opening lines suggest a sense of disconnection or alienation, with the singer feeling small and potentially marginalized in some way. The following lines then describe a process of "loading" something into the subject's face and brain —a metaphor that could relate to the consumption of media or the conditioning of one's thoughts and beliefs. The mention of selling one's ghost to the commercial devil reinforces the idea of being swallowed up by industry and conforming to the expectations of a mass audience.
The final lines of the verse suggest a call to action or a plea for change, with the repetition of "stop" and the affirmation that it is indeed time for something different. This sentiment is then repeated in the chorus, which asks "Hey what's going on?" as if to say that things have gone too far or that there is a need for reassessment. The final line, "now you are so small and out," could be interpreted in different ways — perhaps as a statement of resignation or defeat, or as a warning about the dangers of being consumed by the commercial machine.
Overall, the song seems to be a criticism of the modern music industry and the way that it shapes and controls artists and their output. The lyrics suggest a desire for something more authentic and meaningful, and a recognition that the status quo is not sustainable. By questioning what is going on and asserting the need for change, Kap Bambino's "Hey!" offers a provocative critique of the music world and its broader cultural impact.

This like their other early stuff is some of the best synth-punk ever made I think. Their most recent is ok.. its still got some heart and soul, but so much softer, slower. Lacks the energy, passion and punch of some of their earliest tracks. For me are some straight up synth-punk bangers

j'ai scotché des années sur vos musiques vers 2008, je crois, merci pour ces heures de jeu intense sur fond musical déjanté, ça tourné en boucle. une bonne époque. encore merci à vous deux. J'ai failli vous voir à Bourges au printemps, y a plus de 10 ans, mais, je vous ai raté, j'ai entendu la dernière note... vous etiez passé en premier ... Après Blacklist, je n'ai plus entendu parler de vous : c
