Eye 2 Eye is a French progressive rock group from the Paris area, created by Philippe Bénabès (Keyboards) and Didier Pègues (Drums and Keyboards) at the beginning of 2003, following the dissolution of their previous group, ADN.

Three musicians also orphans of their ex-group, Limelight, come to lend them a hand: Benoit Derat (Vocals and guitars), Médéric Colas (Guitars) and Cécile (bass). Médéric Colas quickly left the group for personal reasons and was replaced initially by Bruno Pègues, brother of the drummer then at the beginning of 2004 by Amirouche Ali Benali.
The first efforts of the group are based around a cover of a title by David Gilmour, guitarist of Pink Floyd, entitled "Near the End". This piece will be used for a cover album in tribute to Pink Floyd: "None of us is Pink", at the beginning of 2006. During this period, the group is offered to participate in an album in tribute to the Dutch group. Ayreon. Eye 2 Eye decides to cover "Back on Planet Earth", from the album "Actual Fantasy", released in 1996, in a more "ambient" mood than the original track.
This same cover will be used on the group's first album, "One in Every Crowd", which will be released on October 26, 2006 at Musea. Benoit Derat and Cécile will leave the group, shortly before the release of this album.

In 2007, new compositions were put in place. A new bass player was found in the person of Aymeric Delteil in May, then in December of that same year, Jack Daly became the new singer.
Texts are quickly written and recording continues.

During 2008, the group, initially called Eye to Eye, was forced to change its surname slightly,
following the request of another homonymous group.

A version of "You", taken from the first album is re-recorded at the end of the year, with the voice of Jack.

"After All ..." was released on February 9, 2009, at Musea.
As soon as it left, the group enjoyed glowing reviews. The group will even be named at the Prog Awards in Italy, in the category "Best foreign album".
EYE 2 EYE decides to start writing a concept album whose working name is "Wax", on an original idea from Jack. But opinions diverge and finally, Jack decides to leave the training to pursue a solo career.
Djamel Zaidi (Leader of Transperception) comes to offer his services to the group in December 2009.

EYE 2 EYE decides to continue with the idea of ​​a concept album. They embark on an adaptation of Oscar Wilde's novel: "The Picture of Dorian Gray".

In early 2011, this album is being mixed and "The Wish" was released on December 9 of that same year at Musea. Etienne DAMIN replaced Aymeric DELTEIL, late 2011. Djamel Zaidi left the group in May 2012 for other musical projects ...

With "The Light Bearer" (Musea, 2017), EYE 2 EYE finally emerges from a silence that lasted five years. The neo-progressive influences of yesteryear are less obvious, to make way for others, more symphonic. The song, now held by Michel CERRONI, turns out to be deep and lyrical, while the arrangements are always more careful. A string quartet also brings something new...

​

The track, initially called "Ghosts" inspired them, and quickly needed a sequel. The title became “Ghosts – Pt.1”, and it was decided the following album will tell the following parts of that story. EYE 2 EYE began to work on it just before the release of “The Light Bearer”, and ideas came quite quickly.

But the following year, Michel CERRONI decided to leave the band during July, because of professional obligations. Fortunately, Jack DALY decided to rejoin the band in September. When he heard the demos, he became motivated as never before. From there, the recording sessions continued. Some new guests came to help: Thierry LALET (Feadog) and Claudine ISTRIA (Backing Vocals) from HELIANTHE, and Marie Pascale VIRONNEAU (Violin).

The recording sessions finally ended, in the beginning of 2020. The mixing sessions had to begin, when the Covid stopped everything...

Etienne DAMIN decided to mix the album in his own new mixing Studio during the spring lockdown. And in the beginning of July, all the tracks were sent to PROGRESSIVE PROMOTION RECORDS in Germany. The Label decided to sign EYE 2 EYE and the Band is proud to tell you the new Album, called “Nowhere Highway” will be released on December the 4th!!....
