Below was translated from French to English using the 'Google Translator' application.

Christophe Marquilly (guitar, vocals) (ex PUBLIC WORKS), born March 25, 1955, founded the group Stocks in the early 1980s.

The group is completed (after Fabrice Quaegebeur) by Gérard Mullier said Muchmard (died 2000) (bass) replaced by Jean-Marie Duchemin (singing in Maryline Renaud) and Franck Seinave (drums). Having noted in northern France by energetic concerts in the MJC , outdoors on the catwalks of the famous fair of Lille or the Enduro du Touquet , or opening for Thin Lizzy (17 Lille January 1981) and after a 1st place at the Golf Drouot in Paris on 14 November 1980 a national label, WEA, offers the group to record a disc in public. This was done to Lille , the Palais des Sports Saint Sauveur, February 12, 1982 in front of 3,500 people.

The disc comes out, ensuing moult concerts throughout France, and notoriety thanks to Suzy piece that is still played today in concert and return to her killer riff and adaptation - daring - of Cocaine JJ Cale French. ZZ Top is now the main reference of the group, in energy as in training "power trio". The crushed guitars that run the second side of the album, on "Cole Younger" or "A Caracas" inspired by the spirit. Like many, Christophe is faithful to his Stratocaster . A more bluesy side shines on even played ballads, like "Stetson blues". The texts are not very worked, the reference is clearly bistro / girls. This album is for an entire generation a reference.
