Avec pas d’casque is a folk band from Montreal, Quebec. It’s composed of Stéphane Lafleur (guitar), Joel Vaudreuil (drums) and, since 2008, Nicolas Moussette.

Avec pas d’casque has passed the 500 copies mark for their self-produced first album, recorded at home in 2004 and sold at their concerts. Their first official disc, Trois chaudières de sang, is released on a local label, Dare to Care, in May 9 2006. In 2008, with the addition of Nicolas Moussette, Avec pas d’casque launches its second album, Dans la nature jusqu’au cou. This last album is released on the Grosse Boîte label a french division of Dare To Care. |
