Lisa is a girl very close to our singer Mathieu.
Not a girlfriend, more like a best friend.
She has always been there for us in our times of need.


"OK, so what's with the 02?"

Thats simple, LISA was already taken on SoundClick, so 02 was the answer. This has been a problem on many MP3 sites, sometimes you will see LISA, sometimes LISA 02 - it's all the same.

LISA, originally from Toulouse (south-west of France), is currently composed of Nico (Bass), Mathieu (Lead vocals, guitars), Mika (guitars), and Julien (drums).

Started in August 2001, LISA drew their influences from indie-rock, punk and hardcore. The melodies may remind you of Get Up Kids, The Efficiency, and Hot Water Music with a bit of Thursday's spirit. Their style quickly became a generous mixing of emotions and energy.

After recording their second demo (August 2002),
they decided to start playing the local pubs and cafés
of the region as well as the festivals.
LISA’s performances were soon welcomed and never went unnoticed.

Soon after, they decided to pick up a new drummer, Julien. With Julien now beating the sticks and skins, LISA decided to hit the road again and do a whopping 4 month tour through France.

5 months into the new band, LISA again wanted to hit the studio. They headed to the local studio "la vache sous les marronniers", and soon after “Little Contest” was born.

It wasn’t long before “Little Contest” was getting good reviews in France and that prompted the band to start contacting US labels.

In October of 2003, Skrewed Records decided to sign the band.
They had the album remixed and remastered in the US, and thus the legend begins…
