No one is innocent

[no one is innocent] is a French band whose career start in the 90s, with influences such as Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden and Nine Inch Nails in the US, Therapy?, Urban Dance Squad in Europe. The hard rock/fusion group became famous in 1994 with their single La peau (The skin - RealPlayer sample courtesy of Amazon.Fr), an anti-racism anthem typical of their outspoken activism. Unfortunately, in 1998, after a second album experimenting with electonic sounds, and a lot of difficulty overcoming the one-hit-wonder syndrome, the band split.

In 2004, its leader, Kemar, reformed the band with none of the original members except himself. The result was revolution.com, a record that didn't have the impact the first one had but was nonetheless well received, especially thanks to contributions from other artists like M, Urban Dance Squad and Indochine. Some CDs are available for import on Amazon.com
