Taken from Soundflat:“Edgar Suit are back with a brand new 6 tracks Mlp, “A Few Fun Facts About The End Of The World”. If you haven’t heard yet their first Lp “Despise All Humans”, you’ll be thrilled by their power pop/indie sound, 5 originals and a cool cover of the Batmen “Bubble Skies”, nice tribute to their elders from their native town Grenoble…”
“En 1988 les Snappin’ Boys sortaient leur 3ème et dernier album intitulé “Domino Punch Out”. 35 ans plus tard, une bande de gosses des pentes de la Croix-Rousse biberonnés au rock de leurs ainés décidaient de dépoussiérer quelques vieux tubes ayant marqués leur génération et d’en faire leur propre version en y apportant leur touche et leurs influences. Ainsi naquit Snappin’ Brats !
Cet ouvrage est un hommage à la scène Rock de Lyon et ses environs, de la fin des années 70 à nos jours.
In 1988 the Snappin’ Boys released their 3rd and final album, “Domino Punch Out”. 35 years later, a bunch of kids from Croix-Rousse in Lyon (France) who had been fed up with the rock n’ roll roots of their elders decided to dust off some of the old hits that had marked their generation and make their own version, adding their own touch and influences. And so Snappin’ Brats was born!
This is a tribute to the rock scene in and around Lyon, from the late 70s to the present day.”
Taken from Soundflat: “Cool project from our friends The Beaten Brats (best gang in town) who invited Don Roberto Lapassade, legendary french singer (Killdozer /Snappin’Boys) to join them to sing two Snappin’Boys songs that appeared at the time on the Jeff Eyrich 1988 produced album “Domino Punch Out”… They thought that these tracks were too good to only be heard with this 80’s digital production, and decided to give it a second life with their incredible glam / punk / guitar sound signature, and they were damn right! Theo Charaf’s guitar is on fire, sounding like a 70’s Thin Lizzy / Cheap Trick chartbuster, while Pierrick and Joey’s rhythm section is paving the way for Robert’s voice, still soul and powerful as before… Produced by Pierrick Jullin at Java Club Studios, Chicago / Rhône, mastered by Daniel Husayn at North London Bomb Factory. Our friend Charly Markarian was also involved in this project to bring his fantastic guitar laying, but died two years ago, before the sessions began, this single is for him.”
“The next release from our small (but strong) label Dangerhouse Skylab will land in record stores in early April, with this telluric 7-track Lp from VIDEOFLIP… The band was formed a few months ago around members of SCANERS / BEATEN BRATS / CLAIMED CHOICE / MOGS, in an extremely fast and spontaneous way, to exorcise their fascination for the Australian sound as for the British early pub rock prods… A few rehearsals and 3 days of takes, for an incredible result, DÉDÉ SCANERS dons his CHRIS SPEDDING / GYPIE MAYO suit on speed to machine-gun as many licks as deadly riffs as it’s possible to generate, rhythmic PIERRICK /JOEY slashes away with a machete and atomises everything in its path, while street punk vocals (?) from SWINDLE SIMON wedge his French lyrics in to finish the job. A couple of tracks benefit from harmo courtesy parts from our classy rock n’ roll veteran BUZZ HARPO, and here’s one of the most enjoyable releases of the genre, no knots in the brain but unparalleled effectiveness. Recorded at Java Club Studios (Chicago-Sur-Rhône), master by DANIEL HUSAYN at North London Bomb Factory, artwork by LULU LMNT.”
