La Flingue Boredom With the La Flingue LP

A huge collection of almost all of  LA FLINGUE’s output, Boredom With the La Flingue brings together all four of their previously tough-to-find 12” releases. On its surface, 24 tracks can seem a bit daunting, especially given the average attention span in 2025, but just like the ocean, if you allow yourself to simply jump in, you’ll be glad to have submerged yourself fully. Whether they’re singing in their native French, English, or even German on the early standout “Hass Hass Hass,” these garage punk hits come fast (only one of the two dozen tracks breaks the three-minute mark) and loaded with snot. While this collection represents over four years of songwriting from LA FLINGUE, there isn’t a huge difference in sound between track one and twenty-four, proving that there was a singular mindset with these lads—once you’ve gotten into the water, sometimes you just want to stay forever.
