Village Voice Album review August 2005:
“Les Couleurs is an Alternative Rock album by drummer/bassist/
singer-songwriter Robert Bonhomme that features ten original songs in French
and English within the framework of powerful and compelling music, bringing
to mind the original English band The Police, with an anarchist edge reminis-
-cent of the Ramones.
The straightforward, poetic lyrics express the powerlessness of the common
man as he confronts the forces of the modern world (the corporate world, law-
-yers, politicians, anonymity…). In contrast,the exuberant, varied, imaginative
and well-balanced compositions are positively exhilarating.
Les Couleurs is a rhythmic masterpiece; Robert Bonhomme, dual citizen of France
and the USA, shines on drums and bass and guitarist Rod Holh, the only other
musician on this recording, provides just the appropriate counterpoint to the
rhythmic onslaught of Bonhomme. ”

Bio
Les Couleurs is an Alternative Rock Band by drummer/bassist/singer-songwriter Robert Bonhomme that features original songs in French and English within the framework of powerful and compelling music, bringing to mind the original English band The Police, with an anarchist edge reminiscent of the Ramones.
The straightforward, poetic lyrics express the powerlessness of the common man as he confronts the forces of the modern world. In contrast, the exuberant, varied, imaginative and well-balanced compositions are positively exhilarating.
With Guitarist/producer Rod Hohl and Drummer Ethan Hawthorn, LES COULEURS are creating explosive sets making audiences "Dance" like they Danced on "The Police" back in '79 or "Nirvana" in '92.
