Pain Teens - Beast of Dreams

Last album of the band issued in 1995

Pain Teens - Stimulation Festival

Fourth album issued in 1992 from this fantastic band. They came from Houston, Tx. Their music was hard to get into, because it was dark and frightening, and because they were not like the others, screaming and making distorted riffs over pop melodies. They used to experiment a lot, and not many people can understand this kind of music.

God Bullies - Kill the King

Their last album issued in 1994. The more accessible to date, and a must-have too. Songs like Hate or Pretty on the Inside with this long dialog that seems to be issued from a pornographic movie makes me mad.

God Bullies - War On Everybody

Fourth album issued in 1991. Quite similar as the previous one, maybe a little more angry.

God Bullies - Dog Show

Third album (the second one was issued only on vinyle, I don't know it) issued in 1990, the blues side had disappeared. Better than Mama Womb Womb I think.

God Bullies - Mama Womb Womb

The God Bullies came from Minneapolis and were, of course, signed on AmRep. They never gain the fame they deserved to, but, what a band ! Back in 1989, here is their first album, close to death-rock, in which you feel some blues roots. Their music always makes me think to horror movies, it suits perfectly to zombies and other funny stuff : rather slow tempo, deep sound of bass, guttural voice, noise guitar, and many experimental ambiant pieces, extracts from movies, strange sounds. All of this is very dark, but with a big sense of humour.

Compilation - Petite Oreille

So here is a special one, especially for parents and old punks that have got children. This was a compilation made by Boucherie Prod in 1996 with all the label's bands, and dedicated to children. So you can find there industrial bands, punk bands, folkish bands, even britanny folk, anything, in a crazy funny melting-pot. This is perfect to listen to in your car with your children, and I must admit it comes to my ears regularly since it was issued. And you can sing along with your son and daughter without feeling stupid, and hoping they will become angry punks one day and do what you failed in : change society. Yes, it's a must indie-family have. To name but a few : The Garçons Bouchers, Sttellla, Near Death Experience, Kni Crik, Les Elles, Alan Stivell, Charlélie Couture, Gabriel Yacoub, etc.

Swell Maps - A Trip to Marineville

The first Swell Maps album (1979), one of the best thing you have to listen to if you like post-punk. This is really really amazing, mad, dark and angry.

The Young Gods - L'eau rouge

Second album, L'eau rouge (trad. "Red water") conquered anyone who listened to this at the time, including myself. I remember we all went mad and listened to the album everyday during months. Don't forget that, in 1989, at least in France, we only had boring new-wave while Uk was dancing on acid-house, there was no energy at all in music and no-one knew about the bourgeoning noise scene in the USA, so, apart from listening to old stuff, the Young Gods were fresh air in a suffocating time. After this they began to sing in english and became famous all around the occidental depressed bourgeois world.

The Young Gods - self-titled album

The most famous indie swiss band of the world ! They invented guitar samples and neo-industrial music. Their first album back in 1988.

Wire - The Drill

Their most experimental album to date probably. One song remixed in so many different ways you nearly can't recognize it. Essential, as all Wire stuff.
