I thought that I know somehow or other about the early French punk scene, because I have some old V/A tapes, but these bands are totally unknown for me.

„The first French incarnations of “Le Punk” (pronounced “paink” in numerous locales) were not carbon copies of their foreign exemplars.(…) There was nothing and no one to forge a connection between the handful of small, isolated groups, fundamentally motivated by a passion for what they deemed true rock ‘n’ roll (the desire to terrorize the neighborhood arrived soon afterward), each in their own little world, trying to provoke their backwater village or their lame metropolis. (…) It was not a movement of any kind, contrary to what was said later. (…) In the photos, we do not see Johnny Rotten’s cousins, but rather an unlikely, haphazard and disorganized bunch.”

Jonathan Kingsley Seilman, musician, arranger and producer from Nantes, known for his previous project, This Melodramatic Sauna, and its collaborations with The Patriotic Sunday, Birds Are Alive, and Sieur & Dame, etc. He now back to himself with a new project, Le Feu, in collaboration with My Name Is Nobody, Binidu and Fordamage members. The most simple phrase is: indie pop, but French, because I like it.

Tropical Trash Noise rock in the manner of 90s with hardcore and metal elements. For example the Big Black occurs to me. But sometimes they wander on the way of experimental music too.

The Speedy Wunderground is a very interesting label and studio in London. In accordance with the founder’s order:

All records of the label will be recorded at their own studio. The musicians, the producer and engineer are together in one room, with no control room. The recordings of the label’s all releases will be done in one day and finishing before midnight. The core of each song will be a live take recorded in the dark with smoke and lazers and somewhere on each record the Swarmatron will make an appearance. Mixing will be done the next day, also in one day only. Furthermore there will be no lunch break during the recording and mixing. The recordings will appear in limited runs of 250 7”s as soon as humanly possible. The founder, Dan Carey will produce all releases.

He has previously produced Franz Ferdinand, Bat For Lashes, TOY, Willy Mason, Django Django, Emiliana Torrini, The Kills, Chairlift and Steve Mason (aka: King Biscuit Time and Black Affair). Now here is the founder’s own project under the name of Scotti Brains. Taking their name from a shared love of San Franciscan psych band Bunny Brains and his cat. Psychedelic noisy indie guitar music:
