Cock Robin

Ironically, Cock Robin is one of those American bands that has mainly sold in Europe, so much so that many thought it was a British outfit. Yet it was on the Californian coast that Peter Kingsbery and Anna LaCazio's band was born in 1982. Having left their mark on the 1980s with hits such as "Just Around the Corner" and "The Promise You Made", this quartet, then finally duo, died out in 1990 after three studio albums... before reforming sixteen years later, for a fourth opus, I Don't Want to Save the World, followed by a fifth in 2010, Songs From a Bell Tower. This jolt preceded another break, forced by the defection of Anna LaCazio, who was devoting herself to her family life. She was replaced by Coralie Vuillemin, a young Frenchwoman who made her mark on the album Chinese Driver in 2016.
