Tryo have been wildly popular throughout France partly due to their politically charged lyrics, whilst also showing a fun side with a range of humorous songs, especially true in their live performances.
They take a left wing stance, criticising various French politicians such as Charles Pasqua (named in corruption scandals concerning suburban low cost housing or HLM) and Jean-Marie Le Pen and world leaders (George W. Bush, for example) in their music. Charles Pasqua (born 18 April 1927, Grasse, Alpes-Maritimes) is a French Businessman and Gaullist Politician HLM ( fr '''h'''abitation à '''l'''oyer '''m'''odéré) French for "housing at moderated rents" or "rent-controlled housing" is a form of Jean-Marie Le Pen (born June 20, 1928, La Trinité-sur-Mer, Brittany, France) is a French far-right Nationalist George Walker Bush ( born July 6 1946 is the forty-third and current President of the United States.

The drug references have been notably toned down in their later albums. This, along with other factors such as fewer political references and their popularity amongst a younger French crowd, have led some fans to accuse Tryo of becoming more commercial as they progress.
They have sold more than 900,000 albums worldwide and celebrated their 10 year anniversary in 2006, followed by a nationwide tour. Tryo have released three studio albums, a double CD live album and two live DVDs.
Christophe Mali released a solo album 'Je vous emmène' in April 2006. Guitarist/songwriter Guizmo is also in the band Pause.
