ONE OF THE MOST LEGENDARY FRENCH ROCK BANDSIn 16 incandescent years (83-99), 8 albums, and over 700 concerts, Les Thugs were among those who brought French rock to prominence, brilliantly 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 homeopathic doses of new-wave, psychobilly, psychedelic or pop depending on the era...). Described as an 'atomic bomb to the face,' a '747 taking off,' 'hooray for rock'n'roll,' a 'sonic maelstrom,' and a 'choreography of tumult,' Les Thugs left a lasting impression with a formidable series of compact, efficient, and melodic standards.Long considered abroad as the only true international-level French rock'n'roll band, praised belatedly but unequivocally by the media, the band remains a benchmark.
