Loire band Mickey 3D could be the closest thing France has to its very own Radiohead: a sophisticated, electronic-tinged rock band unafraid to make uncomfortable political points in their music. Since 1996, they've addressed topics such as police intimidation, the corruption of society and environmental destruction—and won plaudits for doing so. Despite the gravitas of their lyrics, their music is a lighter brew, veering between punk-inflected panic and their own idiosyncratic take on chanson.
