France has never been the best place for glam rock'n'roll but there were a few jewel bands in the past. Some of you might think of The FRENCHIES in the 70s or bands like TEARS and TEASIN' BABES in the early 90s but the best French glam band in the mid-80s was undoubtedly BAD LOSERS....

The SPEEDWAYS offer us 5 covers on 10" vinyl. HANOÏ ROCKS' classic "11th Street Kids" sounds very similar to the original version, maybe a little more laid back, still a great opener!

There's quite a few reasons to be angry in 2021, so a good dose of speed rock might be useful. "Wild Time" and "Hate 2000 Blues" are opening this new album in rage with some hard rock'n'roll somewhere between MOTÖRHEAD and PETER PAN SPEEDROCK. The French power trio can get more metal with their guitar... Continue Reading →
They should have been bigger! Since no live shows in LA, I’ve been hitting the web to discover/rediscover some cool bands that gave it a shot, but for whatever reason, didn’t hit the mark.
