Stuck in the Sound
High-octane indie rock defined by soaring falsetto and jagged, anthemic guitars. Energetic, restless, and unmistakably French. Perfect for a late-night adrenaline fix.

Stuck in the Sound delivers a brand of indie rock that feels like a sudden jolt of electricity. Their sound is anchored by thick, driving basslines and guitars that oscillate between shimmering textures and aggressive, jagged riffs. It is music that occupies the space between a polished studio production and the raw, unbridled energy of a Parisian club at midnight.
What truly sets them apart is José Pedro Fontão’s vocal performance. He possesses a distinctive, high-reaching falsetto that can transition from a vulnerable whisper to an anthemic belt in a single measure. This vocal agility gives their songs a sense of verticality, making even their most straightforward rock tracks feel like they are constantly ascending toward a breaking point.
For those new to the band, the 2012 album Pursuit is the essential entry point. It captures their peak anthemic period, featuring tracks that blend danceable rhythms with heavy alternative rock sensibilities. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments that require high energy and a touch of defiance.
Stuck in the Sound is a French indie rock band formed in Paris in 2001. The current band line up consists of José Pedro Fontão (lead vocals and guitar), Emmanuel Barichasse (lead guitar and piano), Marine Danet (bass guitar), Romain Della Valle (guitar, keyboards, occasional vocals) and François Ernie (drums and backing vocals). The group are presently signed to Discograph Records and have to date released six studio albums; their first commercially released album Stuck In The Sound was released in 2004 and their most recent album, 16 Dreams A Minute, was released in 2024. During June 2023, the band decided to dismiss Arno Bordas, the founder bass player, following artistic and relation discrepancies.
