Drink Me is a Pop/Rock/Folk band from the Bordeaux region whose adventure begins in 2013. Vanessa and Philippe are the starting duo. Complementary, Vanessa is at the piano, Philippe at the guitar, and their voices harmonize with the sandstone of their songs. Drink Me was born from the desire to make simple music, an acoustic project in simplicity, far from the past experiences in metal. The title Bubble, spontaneous and light, starts from this will, it is the first step crossed for the creation of Drink Me. Today, Lionel, on drums and Caroline, on bass and double bass, complete the band, more rock.
In 2014, Drink Me records its first Ep, in Hesat studios. The 5-track original ep is called Bubble, as the start of an adventure that will only get richer with time.
The second Ep, Faces, is released in January 2017. It contains 14 new original tracks + a bonus. These are the result of the collaboration of several musicians, unlike the first tracks on which Vanessa and Philippe recorded everything with their own means.
The experience is richer, the music more complete and mature. Drink Me has found its sound signature and marks its universe in a recognizable way among all.
Drink Me's influences are many and varied. Starting from a very Rock, Post rock and Metal base, Philippe and Vanessa take a very fresh look at the Pop Folk universe.
Among the artists that the musicians listen to are Angus & Julia Stone, John Butler Trio, Sleeping At Last, Puggy, but also artists such as Hans Zimmer, If These Trees Could Talk, Chevelle, Soilwork and In This Moment.
There is no lack of influences. Philippe who composes and writes the songs and Vanessa who participates in the arrangements, have the curiosity to always look for new sounds.
The music, as well as the lyrics of Drink Me, stem from a desire to show more simplicity and acceptance in a complex and saturated world. These principles are the starting point of all the songs of the band. So we find again the ideas of a return to the source, of a need to simplify things, to accept its dark part as much as its crazy part, not to push away its natural part. In an era where appearances must constantly be kept to hide ugliness, Drink Me brings a touch of melancholy, violent or dark, sometimes joyful, candid and enthusiastic.
Drink Me's music is direct and touching, straightforward and full of life and detail. Each song has its own underlying theme, its own world and each word brings a touch of sincerity without hypocrisy or hatred. The challenge of Drink Me is to offer an interesting and thoughtful music for the music lover while remaining accessible to the general public who would have no musical background.
