About
18 vinyl editions tracked, with original pressings reaching over €60 and reissues under €40 on key LPs.
Bérurier Noir emerged from Paris’ punk and alternative scene in the early 1980s, characterized by their minimal lineup with electric guitar, vocals, and a drum machine named Dédé. Their music blended punk rock intensity with a raw, militant energy, often performed in squats and urban venues. The band’s recordings were issued primarily on analog formats including LPs throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with continued interest leading to multiple reissues and limited editions.
Known under titles like Les Bérus, the group’s lineup changed over time but was centered on François (vocals) and Loran (guitar/boîte à rythmes). Their discography includes influential albums like "Macadam Massacre" (1984), "Concerto pour détraqués" (1985), and "Abracadaboum" (1987).
