Our leadsinger Magnus is into electronica and electronic body music: Miss Kittin etc.
Andy likes very poppy electronic music and the swedish band Kent.
Marcus listens to The Cure, Nick Cave, Nitzer Ebb, Front 242, Fixmer McCarthy, Nine Inch Nails, Di Leva, KENT and Olle Ljungström
More bands that inspires us: New Order, Morrissey, Moby, U2, REM, Eurythmics and Coldplay.
Our intention is to write great popsongs with profound depth in the lyrics, there of our bands name. quelles paroles means "what lyrics".
Thanks for taking interest in us!

Founders of the band: Marcus Hansson and Andreas Axelson.
Andy and Marcus has been writing music together for almost 15 years. The first band founded was 300 BAUD. It was simplistic, poppy, electronic music without guitars.
Marcus had also a band called subZero that was a bit more black and sorrowful. The lyrics were in english and subZero contributed to a number of swedish compilation records.
Andy and his friend started a band that they called Tin-Tin's Soldater (The soldiers of Tintin).
In the late 90's 300 BAUD became the embryo to quelles paroles featuring Jonna Dansk.
Andy and Marcus teamed up with Eddie Bengtsson for a short while in Eddies band This Fish Needs a Bike (other bands: SPOCK, Sista mannen på jorden) but left pretty soon again to focus 100% on our own compositions.
In 2003, after Jonna had left the band, Magnus came to be our new leadsinger. Leslie were hooked up on guitar. Now the lyrics were in english and we changed the bands name to quelles paroles. After a few years, Leslie left the band, and we are now a 3-piece-band.
After signing a recorddeal with Electric Fantastic Sound in 2006 things are starting to happen for us.
Besides the releases on Electric Fantastic Sound we've been participating on some compilations released in Sweden aside bands like Scotch, Trans-X and Vive la Fête.
Remember! We are always looking for gigs just about everywhere! Team up with us! =)

********************** MEN is JD Samson, Michael O'Neill and Ginger Brooks Takahashi contributions from Johanna Fateman and Emily Roysdon. MEN is a band focusing on the energy of live performance and the radical potential of dance music. Our lyrics speak to issues such as wartime economies, sexual compromise, and demanding liberties. The music is like smashing Gang of Four into the Talking Heads a la 2009. MEN seeks to develop a live stage show that transcends traditional boundaries of performance art, live music and visual art. http://www.myspace.com/men *************************** http://www.myspace.com/tomboygayklubb http://www.myspace.com/virgoartistagency
