DESCRIPTION:Max Boyer & the Berserk Band is a modern jazz quartet that sits
	 at the\ncrossroads of tradition and innovation\, skillfully blending infl
	uences of folk\nand church music. The project was born from the vision of 
	Max Boyer\, guitarist\nand composer\, who sought to create a unique sonic 
	universe through an\nunconventional lineup: two guitars\, double bass\, an
	d\n\ndrums. This setup was directly inspired by the sound of Emmanuel Mich
	ael\, whose\n\nwork profoundly influenced Max’s artistic approach.\n\nThe 
	desire to collaborate with musicians who share similar sensibilities playe
	d\na\n\nfundamental role in the group’s formation. Double bassist Justin M
	aas\, who\nshares\n\nMax’s musical vision\, naturally joined the project\,
	 bringing finesse and depth\nto the\n\nrhythmic foundation. Guitarist Luca
	 Sturny complements the duo with a compact\n\nyet powerful playing style\,
	 allowing for a rich and nuanced dialogue between the\n\ntwo guitars. On d
	rums\, Paul Lefèvre delivers fluid\, energetic\, and deeply\ngrounded\n\nr
	hythms that perfectly align with the group’s identity — strengthened by a\
	nlongtime\n\nfriendship with Max.\n\nThe music of Max Boyer & the Berserk 
	Band navigates between lyricism and\n\nenergy\, combining modernity and em
	otion with great mastery. Inspired by artists\n\nlike Emmanuel Michael\, B
	rian Blade & The Fellowship Band\, and Joel Ross\, the\n\ngroup aims to of
	fer an intimate yet vibrant musical experience. Their debut\nalbum\,\n\nex
	pected in 2026\, marks a significant milestone in defining this distinctiv
	e\nsonic\n\nidentity\, blending original compositions with bold improvisat
	ions.\n\nThis project reflects a true artistic journey fueled by a spirit 
	of exploration\nand deep\n\ncamaraderie\, where each member fully contribu
	tes to the richness and coherence\n\nof the sound.
