Band Montpellier France Formed 1994
Rinocerose formed in 1994 in Montpellier, France. Rinocerose has 10 chart appearances on 10 radio countdowns from 3 stations on RockLists, spanning 2006–2014. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Cubicle”, which appears on 10 lists with a best position of #32.

Rinôçérôse are Jean-Philippe Freu and Patrice Carrié, two Montpellier psychologists who spend their nights making music, and they mix rock guitar with electronic dance beats in a way that sounds both clinical and wildly fun. Their early records leaned ambient and mostly instrumental, and "Le Mobilier" first put them on the international dance map.
Schizophonia, in 2005, changed the formula. It brought a big, fat rock groove to the front and packed in far more vocals, and "Cubicle" is the result at full power: a strutting, fuzzed-out riff, a hammering beat and a chanted, sneering vocal, the whole thing sounding like a garage band stuck inside a disco. It turned up in a television ad for Apple's iTunes and iPod, and it's the song that carried them onto rock radio's countdowns.
They sing in English, French and German, have released a greatest-hits collection that shares a name with their first album, and put out Psychoânalysis in 2024.
