A Fascinating French Duo with a Unique Sound
(Artist Report)
Written by: Ginny Gaines
No Money Kids is a French music duo made up of singer and guitarist Félix Matschulat and bassist and electronic music wizard JM Pelatan. They mix blues, rock, and electronic music to create a gritty, visual like sound. Think of music that feels like a nighttime road trip or a scene in a thriller movie. They’ve been making waves since the mid-2010s, thanks to their fresh, raw style and passion for making music their own way.
The duo met in Paris and quickly bonded over their love of experimenting with music. Félix brought his love for blues and grunge, while JM added modern beats and electronic elements. Together, they created No Money Kids, a name that reflects their do-it-yourself approach to music-making, proving you don’t need a big budget to make great music and this is how they came up with the name for their duo, No Money Kids. This duo combines the best of different styles. They take the soulful, raw energy of old-school blues and mix it with the modern edge of electronic beats. Félix’s raspy voice and guitar give the music a rugged, emotional feel, while JM’s basslines and electronic sounds add a sleek, futuristic vibe.
In 2015, No Money Kids released their debut album titled I Don't Trust You. This album has 12 songs on it that include ""Old Man," "Bullshit," "War," "No Money Kids," "Government," and "Garbage." This album got people talking about their blend of bluesy grit but with a modern twist. The Duo released their second album titled Hear the Silence in 2017. This album has 10 tracks on it that include "Man Down," "Take Me to Your Home," "The Hangman," "Hear the Silence," "My Love," and "Shot the Master." This album explored deeper emotions while keeping the cool vibe they’re known for.
Félix and JM released their next album titled Trouble in 2018. This album has 13 songs on it that include "Hush Hush," "See Me Laughing," "Wake Me Up," "Family Blood," "Nowhere Land," and "My Loneliness." With this album, they went a little darker, writing songs about personal struggles and the chaos of the world around them. In 2021, No Money Kids released their next album titled Factory. This album has 12 tracks on it that include "Factory Blues," "Shine a Light," "Brother," "Dear Friend," "Birds," and "Bridge in Town." This album was well received by the duo's fanbase. No Money Kids released the Deluxe version of Factory in 2022. They added 4 tracks to this edition. They are "Queen," "I'm rolling," "Graveyard," and "Friend of Mine."
No Money Kids live performances are electric. It’s just the two of them on stage with a guitar, bass, and some electronic equipment, but they fill the room with energy. Félix’s passionate singing and JM’s smooth style make for an unforgettable experience. Fans and critics love No Money Kids because they’re original and not afraid to experiment. Their music feels fresh but still grounded in the raw emotions of blues and rock. People also appreciate how their songs often tackle real-life issues like personal struggles and societal problems.
No Money Kids stand out because they prove you don’t have to follow the usual formulas to make great music. Their mix of old and new styles inspires other musicians to think outside the box. They show that you can be creative, authentic, and still make music that connects with people. Félix and JM are more than a band; they’re storytellers and musical risk-takers. Their songs capture life’s highs and lows with honesty and passion. Whether you’re watching a movie, driving at night, or just chilling with headphones on, their music has a way of pulling you in and sticking with you. They’re proof that creativity and determination can take you far, even if you start with “no money.”
