Remont.sf Du queer autant vnr que doux. C'est violent, c'est funky, c'est ce dont on a besoin, ce qu'on mérite. Merci à vous toustes!

Tarage Rebellious and communicative energy! Between rrriot and no wave, there's a groovy and queer place where these very special kittens live. Growling and hissing their hate of this cis-heteronormative world and meowing and purring their love and solidarity for each other in a festive and powerful way.
They sure pack a hefty punch, as seen in their last clip : www.youtube.com/watch?v=xK_kVpON5AE Favorite track: Uppercat.

about

"There’s some spiky energy at work here, with bobbling bass lines and great drum fills reminiscent of Buzz or Howl Under the Influence of Heat-era MINUTEMEN set to the political fervor of PYLON." Maximum Rock'n Roll (May 2024)

"Quelque part entre Cocaine Piss pour la folie démonstrative punk (sans le côté hardcore) avec la voix incontrôlée, et Mary Bell pour le grain garage-punk, Radical Kitten y ajoute une fièvre dansante proche de Duchess Says, qui en termes de frénésie, n’est pas le dernier né non plus." W-Fenec (Juin 2024)

"7 titres au cordeau, 7 titres qui griffent et égratignent, 7 titres qui font danser les poings serrés." Des cendres à la cave (Février 2024)


This album was recorded in the summer of 2022
