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....

Ancient Egypt and eternal life seem to be a recurring theme on this 5th GUTTERCATS album. Do cats really have nine lives? These guys could probably answer the question, paying tribute to wild life in opening track "Wild Animal" with their usual melancholy but they also know that eternal life might not be for everyone,...

10 years after their album "Amerikka Macht Frei" and after quite a few EPs and singles, UNDERCOVER SLUT are back with a new 10 song album, a new line-up and a new approach to their music.

Paris' finest shock rock band UNDERCOVER SLUT is back with a brand new industrial punk song, "iNSULT TO iNJURY":

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 →
French synth wave artist Alex Sindrome is an enigma. Dressed in black with full face make-up (almost kabuki here), he released a few albums on his own, but never appears on stage. 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 →
