Formed in late 2025 and based between Brussels, Strasbourg and Antwerp, Coup Dur is a Yéyé trio born after the internet. Composed of Avril De Broucker (Lavomatic) on guitar, Clémence D'Hulst (Fake Empire) on bass and César Laloux (Ada Oda) on drums.

With their sparkling, tender French songs tinged with acid romanticism and garage rock accents, the band invites us to twist in an era of doom scrolling, bad dates with egotists, basic-fit centers and online masterclasses on how to become a serial entrepreneur.

The first song composed by the band is truly emblematic of Coup Dur’s playful and effective twist-pop style, ‘Mon Amie’ is about the fantasy of a friendly break-up more than the actual reality. Coup Dur sings out loud what they dare not whisper : breaking up with a friend is often more difficult than breaking up with a lover — the boundaries are more blurred and the pact less explicit. The song evokes the desire to end a friendship that no longer suits us, while nurturing the hope of better days ahead.
