We played with these guys in Lyon a few years back. They were great!


The next night we played with these dudes in Paris. The drummer had a guitar mounted on the bass drum where the toms would be and he banged it with a stick.

There was this nineties noise rock band who released a rather cool record.... God, I can't remember the name. On the cover there was a picture of a caged bird or something like that.

I discovered La Souris Déglinguée recently and I've been pretty hooked on their first album, 25 ans. They remind me a bit of Blitz.

Vomir!!! j/k

Alcest - Doomgaze
Gojira - you know who they are.

One of my favorite recent LPs, so good.

I knew about Alain Kan, who is a did some nice Bowie worshipping records in the earlier part of the seventies, but apparently he had something to do with these early punks, who sound totally awesome, but had like two singles to their name (50% of their discography is below), every song a winner, absolutely fantastic cover art. Gettting some serious Skin Graft recs vibes from the first song below, then they segue into more straightforward, but equally boss, riffing.
