Paris rock'n'rollers The JONES are back with a new 13 track album. Opening song "True Love" mixes DR. FEELGOOD to Les DOGS while "Sid Vicous" brings GARY GLITTER and T.REX to mind. The JONES are no newcomers since they played in many bands before, including BAD LOSERS and CHRIS WILSON, so you can expect some... Continue Reading →
Paris' GUTTERCATS are back with a 4th album already. Opener "A Trip Down Memory Lane" displays more pop influences than in their previous works, although you still can hear the obvious GUN CLUB influence. The band also gets darker with "(Beyond The Limits) Before I Die", the guitars still have this cowboy slide feel, and... Continue Reading →
Paris' finest shock rock band UNDERCOVER SLUT is back with a brand new industrial punk song, "iNSULT TO iNJURY":
First (digital) release of this new band from Paris. "Ladies Night In Hell", and "Midnight Queen" both display strong HELLACOPTERS influences, you'll also find a bit of BACKYARD BABIES in "Garbage City", and early TURBONEGRO sometimes comes to mind (especially in the guitar solos.) These guys also love ZEKE and PETER PAN SPEEDROCK, and you... Continue Reading →
This second album is out 6 years after the band' split! Singer Matt decided it would be a pity not to release these 8 songs, and had a few guests to help him and make it happen, including drummer Danny Fury (The LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH, KILL CITY DRAGONS, VAIN, TANGO PIRATES...) MEDICINE BALL... Continue Reading →

A ghostly figure walking in a dead city at night, hiding from human non-sense, and reporting it through his lyrics and songs. Synth... Continue Reading →
Paris' PLEASURE ADDICTION are back with a brand new album, and if you can't judge a book by its cover, the artwork of most records usually give you quite a good idea about what the bands are about. Here, the strong 80s look of the cover is no exception, these guys love 80s American metal,... Continue Reading →
Reviewing a band you played in is far from being the easiest thing to do. Although I wasn't a full time member, I helped them out for more than a year, played quite a few shows with them and recorded half of their previous album "Black Sorrow." Anyway, it was a few years ago, so... Continue Reading →
For some weird reason, I've just recently found out about this '77 punk influenced band from Paris. Unfortunately, they're not around anymore, and this 9 song vinyl record was released in 2008... In the 00s, the '77 punk revival was mostly happening in the South of France, with the Marseille scene (The HATEPINKS, NEUROTIC SWINGERS,... Continue Reading →
