Compilation : Good time and Bad Time in Reims



Here's a player with a compilation of French punk/garage bands that has remained in my heart since that Reims' 1998 to 2009 good and bad times. Let's shut up now and play the music!

Moody Notes : 10.000 Views - Statistics & Transparency

No serious blogger will admit it, but each of his publication is an opportunity to check for a few moments the traffic on his site and to think back of his motivations...  Last November, during the Make-Overs ' gig at the Bisik in Saint Benoît, the editor-in-chief of the Reunion web-zine Bongou shared to me that lapidary opinion : we write to be read. I answered him that, as far as I was concerned, it was rather to make live a musical niche - garage, punk and all their by-products - to promote its bands, to convince that my passion is worth the detour, to testify of the various scenes of the underground... But I knew that his remark was right. There's a part of pride and vanity lurking deep inside us. And they are impregnable. I have ever wanted to write and publish my own punk fanzine. Something personal that would give my vision of this universe, that would be nicely arranged with drawings for the visual side of it, and especially, that would have a soul and a freedom of sp...

FÉNWÄR - St Lp - DEVIANCE/ BLASTING DEAD/ BOURRE PIF/ ZONE ALTERNATIVE/ KEPONTEAM/ LA SOCIÉTÉ PUE/ LADA/ DIY KOLO/ MANGE TON MAÎTRE/ SHUT UP & PLAY THE MUSIC - 2024 X ''What really matters for me in anarco-punk is the DIY and non-profit ethic, and a certain form of generosity. But clearly, I don't give a damn about the social revolt and class struggle aspects - I'm still a die-hard individualist, who only loves his fellows as individuals, but loathes them as a group. As for your music, your Up In Flames reminds me of Heimatlos ' NBC , a song that has ever been in my personal punk-hardcore pantheon.'' That was essentially what I told Toffy Patatrak , the bassist of the anarco-punk combo Fénwär , when he expressed his surprise at my offer to help release their album. ''It's not that bad, and we'll be delighted to accept your support'' he replied. Some nice, open-minded people. So the deal was done, overcoming a political stance s...

Turning Round On The Turntable : Silicone Values, Tramhaus, Mandelbrot Shakes, Human Toys, Videoflip

SILICONE VALUES - How To Survive When People Don't Like You And You Don't Like Them Lp - SDZ Records - 2024 X Favorite punk album of the year ? Yesss, without a doubt ! One of the best of the decade ? Yeah, for sure ! It's been four years since the British band Silicone Values started uploading hit after hit to the immaterial world of Internet. It was about time that the fifteen or so tracks they've already written found their way onto vinyl. And that's great news! Because if this Lp-compilation is a sonic masterpiece, as jubilant as it is ecstatic, it will also remain forever as a testimony to the faultless story of a collective with sharp tastes, purveyor of catchy riffs and melodies, eager to explore new musical avenues, and whose members share the same state of mind - the only one that still makes us deeply love punk rock. In terms of sound, it’s as if the Silicone Values crew had wanted to write the perfect, definitive synthesis of this musical movement kno...
