The very first Front 242 biography is a fact
“Front 242 – Catch the men, the biography” is a first Front 242 biography based on 3 years of interviews with the members of the group and more than 40 years of official or unofficial documentation. Written by Eric Duboys, French writer and biographer, it recounts in a systematic, complete and detailed way the story of Front 242 as experienced by its 4 members.
This is the first biography devoted to Front 242 but it will only be published in French, but no worries, Google Translate will do the work for those who do not know the language of Voltaire. The total counts 642 pages including an insert of 118 pages of photos for the most part unpublished.
The book is available via Cultures Obliques in association with Le Camion Blanc.

More people read Side-Line than ever, and there is still no paywall and no advertising. Readers pay for it instead - from $5 a month.
Why we ask
Advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations we have not put up a paywall, and we refuse to add annoying advertising, so we need to ask for your help. Side-Line’s independent journalism takes time, money and hard work to produce, and we do it to push the artists we like, who are equally fighting to survive.

Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
