Hailing from Lyon, this exciting band delivers a fresh take on the Oi! and punk sound, infused with a healthy dose of bovver glam rock energy. Their mini-album, released in 2022, is a dynamic mix of raw streetwise attitude and catchy, anthemic hooks, making it a standout release for fans of gritty, no-frills rock’n’roll.
The band’s sound is a fascinating hybrid: imagine THE CLICHÉS trying their hand at SLADE’s glam rock swagger, or perhaps SLADE stripping things down to a punkier, more working-class edge. The result is a sound that’s both familiar and refreshingly original. The album features their previously unreleased demo, which alone is worth the price of admission, alongside four new tracks that showcase their versatility.
What sets this band apart is their ability to balance the gruff, marching intensity of classic Oi! with the playful, riff-driven energy of glam rock. The vocals are raw and commanding, evoking the spirit of bands like TEMPLARS, while the guitars add a layer of rock’n’roll flair that keeps things lively and unpredictable. It’s a sound that recalls the early days of CROWN COURT, but with a distinctly French twist.
Lyrically, the band captures the sincerity and street-level authenticity that makes French Oi! so compelling. There’s a touch of vulnerability beneath the tough exterior, giving their music a sense of depth and relatability. Tracks like the demo cuts and the newer material all share a common thread of catchy, sing-along choruses and driving rhythms that demand to be played loud.
If you’re a fan of unpretentious, heartfelt rock’n’roll with a streetwise edge, this Lyon band is one to watch.
