FRENCH SCENE REPORT 2002 (from www.punk-hardcore.fr.st on 2/13/2003 )

"Bands: In case you're not aware yet, here is a list of all the bands that split up in the last two years: KURUMA BAKUDAN (experimental Hc, several records out on BAD CARD), MELMOR (original powerful punk with a violon and celtic influences, one Ep out on MASS PRODUCTIONS), ZABRISKIE POINT (punk-rock, several Cds out), ASIDE (Hc/ crust), SOAR & SEASON (emo/ metal, Cd out on STONEHENGE), MASS MURDERERS (punk), ?PSTAND (thrashcore, discography Cd/Lp out now), JEAN SEBERG (thrashcore), EPSILON (melodic positive Hc), BRIDEWELL HOSPITAL (emo/ Hc), REVOLUTION TIME (punk), AN ATTA (emo-Hc, ex-ANOMIE), UNEVEN (Hc), HEADWAY (NyHc then… Jazz !), IRONIX (100% punk), BODA (tight melodic Hc, two Cds out), NCA (punk), LIX LIVIA (crust), P 38 (O?), LES PARTISANS (redskin/ punk-rock, several Cds & Eps out), LEGITIME DEFONCE (punk/ hc), DISRUPTIVE ELEMENT (punk/Hc), INNOCENT BLOOD/ MUDER ONE (NyHc/grind). Many of the individuals involved have started new bands: Ex-ALCATRAZ, ex-PEU ETRE, ex-SEASON and current HIPPIES OF TODAY members have teamed up to play melodic emo under the name AMANDA WOODWARD (one demo-Cd + one10" out). Speaking of HIPPIES OF TODAY, the new french power violence sensation, they just put out their first cd (Lp + ep). Some FINGERPRINT/ UNDONE ex-members play in ANANDA now (heavy metal/ emo/ noisy, three albums out on OVERCOME). Some other FINGERPRINT/ UNDONE members also played a while in G-77 (heavy Hc/emo a la His hero is gone, one Cd available). SCRAPS' bass player has joined members of ALGOLAGNIE to start AMIANTE, they play a mix of noisy, Hc and crust. RIGHT FOR LIFE play tight & fast NyHc (1 Lp, 1 miniCd, 1 split Ep out ; and 1 new Cd just out). Some ex-members of PITFALL and BRIDWELL HOSPITAL have started a glam/ punk/ rock'n'roll band called SPARKLING BOMBS. They just put out their debut Cd. One of them used to play in SECRETOS DEL CORAZON (melodic emo with French and German members), but I believe they have split up after putting out their mini-Cd. NOTHING TO PROVE have switched from positive Hc to modern emo/ metal/ Hc sounds and recently put out a nice digipack. They sound a bit like BURN HOLLYWOOD BURN (1 Cd out, featuring members of STUFF LIKE THAT and DEVICE). It seems like WHAT'S WRONG (old school Hc then emo) are back together after a two-year break. KOCHISE (anarcho-punk, 2 LP's out) are still around and kicking, they play shows from time to time and recently recorded for a new album to come out in 2003. KOCHISE's bass player still plays in CRIA CUERVOS (melodic Hc, one Cd out + one demo), a band started by ex-members of AHORCADOS. SUBMERGE (featuring ex-members of DISCORDE) is a heavy emo-metal band, I think they have three eps or split eps available. ATTENTAT SONORE are the oldest-running French punk band, they have lots of ep's/ tapes/ comps out (the latest being a 10"). They share members with NEGATIVE I.Q. (O?-core). Actually, ATTENTAT SONORE are not the oldest French punk band since several 80's punk-rock bands recently came back together (for profit ?) ; LES CADAVRES, OBERKAMPF, LES PORTES-MENTAUX, WARRIOR KIDS (O?)…, even KIDNAP played a last reunion show. PROTEX BLUE (pop-core with ska influences) split up, but some members have already started a new band called THE MUCKRACKERS (ska). SIX PACK used to play popcore, they put out 2 Cds in the mid-90's but changed their name to WEI-JI (mini Cd out now on SANJAM, more "rock" nowadays). I think WEI JI split up already, and a SIX PACK discography Cd is coming out soon. DISBEER play pure dis-core and have a couple Ep's and Cd's out on PANX. STEROIDS (raw punk) have an Ep out on PANX, a Cd compiling their two demos, one split Ep, and a full length album out on MASS PRODUCTIONS. LYSTERIA are a female-fronted punk band from the same town, they just put out their first Ep on the label started by STEROIDS members. TOXXIC TV are a band that mixes Hc & punk with a lot of other influences, the result is tuneful melodic Hc with reggae bits, mosh parts, whatever. They underwent line up changes but are still around although they don't play or record anything. Ex-ASIDE members play in SHORTCUT, a fast Hc band with two vocalists, their first album just came out (on my label, hehe). Ex-MURDER ONE and DISRUPTIVE ELEMENT folks re-started an old french Grind/thrash band from the 80's and put out one split Ep with Unholy grave ; they're called THE MAD TRASHERS. NO TIME TO LOSE are an old school Hc band with social lyrics. They have several demos available as well as one Cd. Ex-UNLOGISTIC people play in H2 OIL, a melodic emo-Hc band from Paris. UNLOGISTIC changed their style to minimalist straight-forward/ melodic Hc with a drum machine. Their first Lp + Cd just came out on ANGRR. V?MIT FOR BREAKFAST hail from Saint Etienne, they're France's most well known power violence/ grind act. They share members with COCHE BOMBA, who are back and still play fast-core (a discography Cd is out on BAD CARD). CLOUDBURST (ex-NEVER SCORNFUL) play original heavy & metallic Hc with social lyrics ; some members play in ACRIMONIE, an emo-metal band with a DIY attitude (Cd-demo + 10" out). THE INFORMERS, starring ex-BRIGADES vocalist's Vlad, play melodic Hc in the vein of MC4, with socio-political lyrics (One Cd, one Ep + one mini-Cd). J'AURAIS VOULU play typical French punk-rock, they have one Ep and one Lp out on LIMOLIFE. NEVROTIC EXPLOSION (tight punk-rock from Brittany) have already released one Ep and one album. The ex-guitarist of MELMOR recently joined their forces. 20" DE CHAOS play a mix of anarchopunk and metallic crust with female vocals, they have a split Lp with a greek band out on MALOKA. WAITING FOR BETTER DAYS play French emo style, they have one miniCd and one split 10" out (with ROMEO IS BLEEDING, who play noisy-emo-metal). AGHAST are another french emo band (early Ebullition style), they just put out two mini-cds. BLOCKHEADS are a long-running, powerful, not too metal, grindcore band and have one discography Cd out + a bunch of split ep's. BACCHUS TEMPLE ADDICTS feature ex members of MASS MURDERERS and MELMOR, they play metallic punk and their first 10" is still available. LA FRACTION are a melodic punk band from Paris with awesome female vocals. Their second album came out recently. BRIGADA FLORES MAGON have two Cd's out (oi), ACTION DIRECTE (oi/ska) and YA BASTA (left-wing ska) have a split Ep out as well as one Cd out each. Newer bands include : RETCH (grind/ thrash), TO LEARN (ex-SLAMFACE, Hc/emo/metal, one Cd out), SONS DE LA LUCHA (oi-ska), BOLCHOI (oi), EMBUSKADE (ska) FACE UP TO IT (ex-?PSTAND, ex-JEAN SEBERG; thrashcore), WEDA (fast-Hc with an emo touch), AFFLICTION (punk/hc), REVIVE (old school, first mini Cd out on a German label), VALUE DRIVEN (NyHc old school SxE, one Cd out), TEKKEN (grind/ noise, hundreds of tapes available), CORE Y GANG (celtic punk), ANTIBODY (punk-Hc), SICKNESS (crust), BRIGITTE BOP (punk-rock), GEORGE BITCH JUNIOR (power violence), etc, etc.. That's it for bands. Of course there's more, but these are the ones which put out records. Read zines if you want info on more unknown ones, Ok? Zines: there are basically no zines in English around here, but I'll drop a couple names: EARQUAKE, france's biggest and more regular punk/ O?/ Hc zine (in French - over 75 issues out!). EXOTIC UNDERGROUND (EXOTICA SUBTERRANEA) is a zine dedicated to punk-Hc-metal-underground scenes from countries that you didn't even know existed. I'm sure if there were a scene on Mars, Fred (who also runs DARBOUKA RDS) would be the first to know about it. Two other zines are worth checking out : WE'RE GONNA FIGHT (SxE/ Hc/ punk/ O?) and NEW WIND (old school + metal Hc), they're both great and written in English, write me for addresses ! Labels: PANX has slowed down a lot label-wise, but he still runs one of the biggest french web-sites ! DARBOUKA and TIEN AN MEN put out records with bands from far-off countries (China, Paraguay, Macedonia, Turkey, Myanmar, etc). SANJAM puts out more and more poppy bands these days (Serotonin, SIX PACK...). MALOKA put out the ATTENTAT SONORE 10", an MDC Cd, and many more records by international bands… STONEHENGE put out UNDONE's, ALCATRAZ's (jazzy emo) and FINGERPRINT's discographies as well as records by AMANDA WOODWARD. Also check out SMALL BUDGET/ SHARK ATTACK (melodic Hc and ska/punk mainly ; Xiola blue, PROTEX BLUE…), LIMO LIFE (punk-rock ; J'AURAIS VOULU), REVOLUTION (Hc/ crust (HIPPIES OF TODAY..), MOLAIRE (emo/ Hc/ noisy : ANANDA, Envy, VANILLA…), CHAOS CITY CORE (crust/ grind/ punk), BAD CARD (now called CHIMERES - Hc/ crust/ etc (COCHE BOMBA, LES FEUX DE L'AMOUR)), MASS PRODUCTIONS (punk + garage ; NEVROTIC EXPLOSION, STEROIDS, Raw power, ASIDE/ SHORTCUT…), MURDER (thrashcore : Dahmer, Mesrine), RATBONE (crust/ Hc/ grind ; JEAN SEBERG, HHH, HEIMATLOS), WALKED IN LINE (punk-rock + Hc : SOUP TOXIC (melodic Hc),…), EL TRASGO (Hc/ crust ; ASIDE, MURDER ONE, MDC…), RURAL (punk-rock), FIGHT 45 (punk), etc etc... Distros: I'll just drop a few distro names (the biggest and most reliable). Panx, Exutoire, Boisleve, Punk as fuck, Murder, Sanjam, Overcome, Maloka, Stonehenge, Emergence, Walked in line, New wave, Mass productions, Burn out, Zoop, Kanivo chaos, Guerilla front, Punkahontas, El trasgo, Ratbone, etc...

There is a long running squat in Dijon called "Les tanneries" ; they organize shows very regularly. And now onto some personal plugs..
