An atypical adjective suits GCM & The Warriors well. They are three musicians accompanying the singer GCM, who expresses his ideas in a lyrical, poetic, provocative, satirical, and humorous tone. Nice Premium took an interest in this group that recorded its first CD, “A New Nuremberg.”
He has distinct opinions and unconventional theories. Who? The singer of the group GCM & The Warriors. With his words, he performs ‘slam up.’ A blend of stand-up (a unique form of one-man show that emerged in the late 19th century in the United States) and slam, which constitutes an art of oration. He draws inspiration from listening to the radio, certain phrases catch his attention and spawn a thought or a refrain. “There are topics that I mull over for a long time, and when it comes out, it comes out!” he says. His favorite themes? Politics, money, ecology, etc. He uses satire, provocation, humor, or lyricism to convey his ideas. With his bandmates, Matt on the guitar, Ben on the bass, and Greg on the drums, they have formed a joyful quartet for two and a half years.
“A New Nuremberg”
Did you know that laughter is a virtue? Humor is essential to life and serves as a therapy. An article published on the website Doctissimo indicates that it could reduce pain sensations, boost the immune system, improve cognitive functions, prevent cardiovascular diseases, relieve stress, etc. The French engage their zygomatic muscles for less than 6 minutes per day, which remains insufficient. Why not stimulate yours by listening to the first CD of GCM & The Warriors, “A New Nuremberg”? According to GCM, humor remains indispensable, “it is part of life. I am convinced that the only thing that brings people together is humor. Once we can laugh about everything with everyone, we will all be equal,” he confides. Seven years ago, he wrote a text about the specialist in ready-to-assemble furniture and decoration objects of Swedish origin, Ikea. Laughter is guaranteed! Nothing was invented, “it’s the observation of an afternoon or even a day in this furniture and bedding supermarket,” says the group’s guitarist.
As you might have understood, GCM is a rebel. Through his engaged texts, he invites reflection. “I would like us to put money back in its place. I cannot understand how people can be left to die for money. It has become more important than life and I do not understand why.” The text “A New Nuremberg” precisely addresses money and insists that “there are no honest fortunes.” So to listen to these texts that evoke the society in which we evolve, get the CD. You won’t be disappointed.
