NINETEEN SOMETHING (vinyl)

Description

ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY FRENCH ROCK BANDSIn 16 incandescent years (1983-1999), 8 albums and over 700 concerts, Les Thugs were among those who gave French rock its credentials, superbly navigating all the trends of the 80s and 90s, always maintaining a fierce identity and that distinctive sound, at the crossroads of garage-punk, hardcore, grunge and emo-pop (with some homeopathic doses of new-wave, psychobilly, psychedelic, or pop depending on the era...). 'Atomic bomb to the face', '747 taking off', 'Hurrah rock'n'roll', 'sonic maelstrom', 'choreography of tumult' – Les Thugs' signature left a lasting impression with a wicked series of compact, effective, and melodic standards.Long considered abroad as the only true French rock'n'roll band of international standing, lauded later, but unequivocally, by the media, the band remains a benchmark.
