Touting influence from the French and Scandinavian underground as well as power pop and Oi!, this Bourdeaux group has a strong and formidable style that builds everything around a melodic core. The vocals are a little too forward in the mix, but that’s a quibble when the hooks are this deep. The guitar has a satisfying chorus-laden crunch and the bass is punchy, harmonizing beyond just plunking on the root notes to a deeply satisfying end. At six tracks, the energy stays consistent throughout, and the band doesn’t outstay its welcome. Just a really solid affair through and through, and catchy as hell.
