No Money Kids

No Money Kids is a French duo formed in 2013, consisting of Félix Matschulat and Arnaud Trenier. They have carved out a specific niche known as 'electro-blues,' a sound that bridges the gap between the raw, distorted energy of garage rock and the atmospheric textures of contemporary indie-pop and electronica.

Their career arc is defined by a consistent DIY ethos, producing much of their work independently while achieving significant commercial success through sync licensing. Their music has become a staple for music supervisors, appearing in high-profile television series like Banshee, Veep, and Goliath, as well as feature films. This cinematic quality is a core component of their identity, characterized by 'chiaroscuro' (light and dark) arrangements where aggressive guitar riffs are softened by vaporous electronic pads. Critically, they are viewed as part of a modern wave of artists - alongside peers like The Kills or Black Pistol Fire - who are deconstructing the blues for a digital generation. Their evolution from the raw 'I Don't Trust You' to the more refined 'Factory' and 'BIG' shows an increasing comfort with pop-culture influences without sacrificing their foundational grit.
