[1] Joe La Truite are a Progressive Psychedelic Punk-Metal music band from Aix En Provence and Marseille in the south of France. The band’s sound is impulsive, ultra-efficient, Psychedelic Punk-Metal music and each song is a progressive journey.


Joe La Truite set out pre pandemic as a fun music adventure created by Julien Liphard, Charles Roussel and Martin Denquin.

The origin of the band's name Joe La Truite is no more than a pretext to their song-writing that allows this trio total freedom in the direction and the mood of each song.

After releasing [2] an EP in 2017 'River Metal' and duel artist album in 2019 'Just A Little Thing Smooth and Wet' with French band Sandlewood, Joe La Truite recorded and released their debut album [3] 'Trapped In The Cosmos' in 2020. An introspective descent tinged with humour, violence, illusions, and questioning…

Trapped In The Cosmos, as with the band was not exploited outside of the South of France, however the album received great reviews and critique in the media that did attain copies. [4] Aux Ports Du Metal review and [5] Ekelktic Rock Review.

The feedback and solid reviews pathed the way for the band to take the trio seriously and though the members had other projects, Joe La Truite became the focus for writing new songs. In 2022 the band met an Australian at a gig at the [6] Mi6 club in Aix En Provence. It turned out he was the ex-manager of Australian Hall Of Famers, The Angels[7] and he suggested the band expanded their touring and asked the band to stay in touch. And they did just that. Live music fans absorbed the bands ‘Cosmic’ energy which emanated from the stage and in particular the new songs caused heavy audience reaction. The songs caused such lively reactions, the term [8] Zguen Bangers evolved from the fans picking up on the bands previous 2017 song ‘Zguen Around’ which related to the psychedelic cosmic energy that causes head-banging, ‘Zguen’ and it stuc k.

Julien Liphard built dBd Studio’s in La Barben in the south of France and the band recorded 13 new songs.

Once the album was produced and mastered the first person Joe La Truite sent the music to was the Australian they met 2 years before. Joe La Truite were signed to a management deal with [9] Blue Tongue Management in October 2024. Since then the band has picked up representation for the 2025 new music release with [10] SLH Agency in Lyon and representation in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Denmark for touring and PR with Rola Music based in Vienna.
