in french in the text:

Cantharide était un projet solo protéiforme ne s'interdisant rien, sinon le plaisir... : De la pop acoustique aujourd'hui avec son 1er ep "The Dark Side of the Wood - part 1" jusqu' au rock nerveux et puissant (à venir), le tout teinté d'un certain pychédélisme délicieusement sixties mais bien ancré dans son siècle. Pierre "Choumy" Chaissac ( c'est moi...) développe avec bonheur ses envies et ses fantasmes musicaux au gré de ses humeurs, au nez et à la barbe des concepteurs marketing qui gèrent avec malheur le music business... DEPUIS MARS 2008 , AVEC L'ARRIVÉE DE YANN ( BASSE ) ET DE JOHN ( BATTERIE ) CANTHARIDE EST DEVENU UN VRAI GROUPE .Découvrez une première facette de la bébête sur son 1er opus, disponible numériquement sur http://www. pop-only-knows. com

, une nouvelle plateforme de téléchargement légal dédiée aux groupes autoproduits. depuis fin aout vous pouvez aussi écouter "THE BUTCHER BROWN SESSIONS " , notre première démo enregistrée en aoùt 2009

en anglais dans le texte:
In ancient times, cantharidin - the crushed powder of the Spanish Fly, Cantharides - was said to have aphrodisiac properties.
It was the Viagra of the day.
Today, this is known to be dangerous and untrue, the dreams and fantasies of our Roman friends are destroyed, our wildest flights of fancy brought to an end.
And yet, at Pop Only Knows, we know a man who pursues this heritage and transubstantiated it into music, creating an addictive acoustic pop that stimulates & excites... He takes the homage to the point of calling himself Cantharide, and we understand why: his music, a little psychadelic, may cause lightness and blissful joy but also melancholia and a delicate bluesy feeling in certain cases with the more poignant tracks.
Pierre Chaissac is the man behind Cantharide, writing, singing and playing all the instruments on every brilliant song.He's now playing with Yann ( bass ) and John since march 2009. Now the band is real , truthful and free , full of senses and noises , sounding like a ride between Boston and Ontario ....welcome to our future.
"Choruses that bring to mind glorious elders like Teenage Fanclub, Guided by Voices or Martin Newell. Thanks to an amazing sense of melody, nested harmonies and biting lyrics, sometimes very funny and often disarming, he breaks free of their legacy.
You know it: Cantharide is the new pop Eldorado of Pop Only Knows, our favourite upper. "I take control of the merry-go-round", he sings on his first EP, The Dark Side of the Wood - Part 1. So let yourself go: this enchanted roundabout has plenty of nice surprises in store."
