"COOK YOUR OWN MEAL"
In an alternate and distinct way, the titled track is referring to the credo for which punk music thrives on: Do-it-yourself.
And that is exactly what the four members from a small town in Orleans, France have been doing since forming in March 2006. An unusual encounter is what drew the four members together, finding each other in a country fueled by love and romance, far from punk rock. The story is what you might read from a screenwriter about the journey of a rock band. A journey that has taken four guys from a small town to the biggest stage in America…NEW YORK CITY
Practice for their first LP titled ’Chocaholic’ began early of March 2006 and only in a matter of three rehearsals encompassing two days, the 9-song disc was complete. Even more surprising was the budget for which the album was produced, a meager $200. Since its induction in September 2006, the band has seen their music circulate rapidly with exciting support and response. Included are notable tracks "In the Sun" and the melodic distortion called "Basil" which has been a fan favorite.
A credit to the band’s success comes from various musical influences such as legendary bands; Led Zeppelin, The Doors, and even The Beatles. Their flair for great melody along with the gripping vocals from lead singer Pit, has built up a vast legion of self proclaimed ’Chocaholics’ worldwide. Their talent for singing the blues through their acoustic performance broadens their fan appeal giving listeners an option of a loud or subtle performance from the band.
When asked about the meaning and motivation behind the music, their answers are what you would expect from the people of this romantically inspired country of France; Love and Death. Couple that with some basic elements of punk rock-such as "message" songs with contemporary social themes and basic acoustic guitar accompaniments and blending them with a unique voice and a striking personal appearance, you have innovation. You have The Chocolate.
