The three man band, Puggy, plays a whole new kind of acoustic rock that proves that you don’t need an entire orchestra to get the ground shaking. Possibly thanks to their English, Swedish, French influences that range from 1920’s New Orleans to 21st century metal. Matt’s broken and smooth voice (yes, they're opposites) go perfectly with his dry little guitar riffs and give the band a seriously groovy sound that gets the band going. His part of the puzzle could only be completed with Romain and Ziggy’s rythm section. Though Ziggy makes a point of being seriously harsh on his drumset, there’s more to it than just hitting the thing, he manages to make it go perfectly with Romain’s wicked bass slapping and tapping.
There isn’t a band today that has the experience, influence and originality of Puggy, and they're only starting.
Their first record "Dubois died today" was released in June 2007. Puggy being a live band hit the road big time to promote it. They toured Europe for a month with american band Incubus, opened in Bercy (France) for the Smashing Pumpkins, did a whole french tour with Fiction Plane and headlined their one shows in England, France and Belgium.
They are currently working on their next album. Some tracks are already being played live.

Puggy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It might be time to move away.
There's nothing left to see
And you've shot the last of a dying breed.
It might be time for us to
Might be time for us to
Hey, don't you know,
(Might be time for us to, might be time for us to go)
When your time is up, you give it up,
Then on and on we go
Ooh-ooh
(Oh)
We'll sing for your last day on earth,
Feels like you'll get what you deserve.
Something that is small can be greater than us all,
It might be time to take a look
So put a record on, I believe we're good as gone
It might be time for us to
Might be time for us to go
(Oh)
The first verse of the song "Ready or Not" by Puggy critiques the mundanity of life in a small town. The lead singer suggests that if someone can't find a stranger in their town, it might be time for them to move away. The lyrics imply that the singer feels like they've exhausted all the opportunities and experiences their current setting has to offer, and the only option left is to leave. The line "You've shot the last of a dying breed" can be interpreted in a few ways, but it most likely refers to a lack of fresh or exciting people in the area. In this context, "dying breed" might mean "rare or unique individuals," suggesting that the town has lost its charm or allure.
The chorus of the song has a call-and-response feel to it. The lead singer states, "Hey, don't you know when you go you'll be the last to know?" before the band chants, "Might be time for us to go." The lyrics suggest that the singer is hesitant to leave and might not realize how bored or unfulfilled they are until they've moved away. The line "When your time is up, you give it up, then on and on we go" further emphasizes this idea. The phrase "you'll be the last to know" could also mean that the singer and their companions are outcasts or misfits in their community and don't have any close connections to people.
The second verse of the song shifts the focus to the idea that sometimes, small things are more significant than they seem. The lyrics encourage the listener to take a step back and reflect on their life. The line "Something that is small can be greater than us all" suggests that despite feeling like there's nothing left to discover in our current surroundings, there could always be hidden gems or unique experiences if we're willing to look for them. The line "I believe we're good as gone" further reinforces the suggestion that it's time to move on and explore new territories.
