ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY FRENCH ROCK BANDS! In 16 incandescent years (83-99), 8 albums, and over 700 concerts, Les Thugs were among those who elevated French rock, 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 a few 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 chaos' – Les Thugs' signature sound left a lasting impression with a wicked series of compact, effective, and melodic standards. Long considered abroad to be the only true French rock'n'roll band of international stature, belatedly but wholeheartedly praised by the media, the band remains a benchmark.
