FAUCHEUSE - Rêve Électrique LP

SOD#98

Faucheuse are a bit like your usual favourite meal but with a different sauce and seasoning. And while you wouldn’t think this favourite meal of yours - one you’ve been eating exactly the same way for years - could be cooked differently and still taste brilliant, it does, in a spectacular fashion.

Faucheuse are from Bordeaux (France’s national d-beat sanctuary) and play an incredible original blend of classic, fist-pumping, riff-driven Totalitär-style käng hardcore done to perfection and epic head-banging hard rock’n’roll. Not the boring “d-beat’n’roll” bollocks, the tasty stuff.

The songwriting is ace and clearly thought-out. All the elements, from the thundering guitar leads and solos (with an almost heavy-metal quality at times), the groovy bass variations, the presence of “unorthodox” instruments, the clever use of pauses, the songs’ structures to the vocals’ changes of tines, contribute to the genuine narrative quality of the songs. It’s not arty or anything, it’s still raw d-beat hardcore but more subtle than your common Dis. It’s got style and it rocks hard.

Emilie sings her heart out and deals in tunes instead of screams, unusual for the genre indeed. It takes a moment to get used to it but it makes the music even more energetic, dynamic (those mid-paced songs…), and catchy. I am hearing vintage heavy-metal and classic French punk-rock in the singing style but to be honest it sounds pretty unique.

Who said d-beat hardcore was bound to be unoriginal? This Lp contains five brand new songs on one side and the ones from the demo tape on the other. Let’s welcome Faucheuse, the Paintbox of käng hardcore. (Terminal Sound Nuisance)

GLOBAL THERMONUCLEAR WAR - Total Demonstration LP

Global Thermonuclear War, a recording project that teams up Shite from Rigorous Institution and Karl, the drummer from Suck Lords and Crucified Class. "Seeking Mastery" sounds like something that might have come out of the late 80s UK, which makes when you think about it. Shite’s other band sounds a lot like Amebix, and bands like Napalm Death and Extreme Noise Terror adopted the metal-punk approach of bands like Amebix and Deviated Instinct, combining them with a Siege-inspired, blastbeat-heavy drumming—something Karl showed his facility with in his other band—to creative an exciting new sound. I hear a lot of E.N.T. in particular in Global Nuclear War’s sound, partly because there aren’t metal guitar leads and partly because the music is just so gnarly and ugly… it sounds like crawling on your knees across a bed of broken glass. And as with both Rigorous and Suck Lords’ music, Global Thermonuclear War’s songs are free of the obvious and the cliche. That’s true of Shite’s lyrics, which focus on the most fucked up aspects of today’s world: factory farming, economic “migration,” the bloody imperialist games of nation-states… the lyrics are as direct and uncompromising (though not as succinct) as Discharge, and have the plain-spoken wisdom of someone gifted with the ability to see straight through bullshit. Seeking Mastery is just a great tape, urgent, exciting, fresh, and punk as fuck. (Daniel / Sorry State)

ANTIDOTUM - Jedna Plaga Ludzka Plagah LP

Hailing from Warsaw, and picking up where Post Regiment threw the towel. Powerful, melodic punk with a female singer, but way more aggressive than the before mentioned. A proof of an ongoing good tradition of polish HC-punk!

FAMILLE D'ACCUEIL - s/t. LP

FAMILLE D'ACCUEIL plays fast and energetic punk, with melody, anger and thrashy guitar. Le FAMILLE D'ACCUEIL is based in Paris, France, yet the lyrics are written and sung in Polish due to singer Magda is originally from Poland and sang in Czosnek, for those who remember that amazing Band from Nowy Targ? FAMILLE D'ACCUEIL's sound mingles with Polish and French hardcore punk and creates a pretty energetic Beast that is a joy to see Live and I can strongly recommend to go see them whenever you have the chance! Fantastic people dedicated to the DIY spirit of Punk! Lyrics deal with oppression, longing for freedom, animal rights, fascist states – an everyday life in Europe you may say.
