SALO is a trio from the depths of Lyon, with a satisfying smirk and a glassy-eyed look from too many sleepless nights. Oscillating between the brilliance of high-class garage noise rock, which sends soulless hordes of followers packing, and touches of visceral punk, SALO, with a certain class and great success, leaves its mark on emotionally charged music with its album *From Melmac With Hate*. As for references, though largely digested, one might think of the verve of Thee Oh Sees, the ferocity of Metz, and the class of The Fall. Tremble, carefree youth, SALO is here.
