Johnny Mafia is first and foremost a story of friends— which began in 2010 at a high school in Sens—and a marathon. Over fifteen years, through albums and endless tours across Europe (and even the world!), Théo, Fabio, William, and Enzo have gradually established themselves as a major force in the French music scene, always at their own pace, in their own way, without being overly concerned by the conventions or expectations of the music business. The band's sound, refined with each release, is now instantly recognizable, a blend of alternative rock with powerful guitars and a slightly mischievous pop-punk that playfully subverts hard rock tropes. 

"Merci Beaucoup," Johnny Mafia's fifth album, stands out not only as the band's most ambitious and successful album to date, but also probably the one that most closely reflects their identity. Composed by the four members during off-days from their Indonesian tour in the fall of 2025, the album was conceived for the studio and designed as a playground, giving free rein to the band's unfiltered desires: gabber/eurodance synths, metal riffs, flamenco, reggae, dad rock—it's all there. Peppered with unexpected guest appearances, this new album, recorded by Francis Caste at Studio Sainte-Marthe, features 13 tracks. Each one, from the very first notes, showcases the band's incredible ability to create irresistible little anthems of furious, laid-back rock.
