Chien Flic / V.V.M. Tourist Complex split cassette

V.V.M. starts the Tourist Complex split on a very high note with their fast and loose hardcore with super fun genre-bending moments. Kickass riffs, super tight drumming, cutting basslines…it’s all there with its modern flair and old school attitude. And when we switch over to CHIEN FLICK’s side, they don’t fail to follow up at all with their unique take on the powerviolence sound with less angry and more expressive vocals. From complete chaos to more steady and straightforward composition, the band definitely stands out. All in all, I think this split is an amazing pairing of two likeminded and equally good bands that I won’t be getting tired of anytime soon.

Chien Flic Wouf? cassette

Wouf? by CHIEN FLIC is a blast of fastcore energy from Western France, brought to you by a five-piece with not one but two vocalists—both named Claire, because why not? This tape delivers ten whirlwind tracks, each averaging about a minute, with a charming blend of aggression and humor. Its English and French lyrics tackle topics like physical fitness, good hygiene, consent, and telling you to get off your damn phone. There’s also a song that is most of a recipe for apple pie, which is definitely a first in my experience. Limited to just 150 copies, the physical release has already sold out, but it remains a standout for its cute, fun, and intense energy. Check out the song “Macron Pouflasse.”
