Carpenter Brut

Carpenter Brut is the synthwave project of French musician Franck Hueso, blending aggressive beats, neon synths, and a deep obsession with '80s action and horror films into a turbo-charged thrill ride. Initially a home-recording project, Hueso released three EPs (collected as Trilogy in 2015) that gained a cult following. He established Carpenter Brut as a touring band, performing anthemic songs filled with high-flying guitar solos and heroic vocals, and the project's popularity continued to grow. Subsequent releases like 2018's Leather Teeth incorporated '80s metal and glam rock influences. In 2022, he continued the Leather trilogy with Leather Terror, and concluded it with 2026's Leather Temple.
