No Filter - Sans Filtre LP
No Filter - Sans Filtre LP
Here comes a new punk.
If you know anything about me - as in Andrea, the record label's head - you
know I have a thing for Oi since I was a teenage skinhead.
And with Avant! being a coldwave/synthpop label, our next release couldn't
be more special.
No Filter are three children of the French region of Dauphiné, active in
the black metal scene for 20 years through different projects.
They created No Filter with the aim of exploring punk, Oi and coldwave
sounds.
They started by singing in English but after their first demo they decided
to opt for French to improve their lyrics by singing in their own native
language. Themes addressed in their songs are violence, hatred, party
nights, the countryside, their roots and friendship. "Synth punk, bagarre
et blousons noirs" in their own words. Musically speaking they somehow fit
in the current Cold Oi French scene (Bromure, Syndrome 81, Cran, Kronstadt)
but they exaggerate the synth/wave element ending up sounding like one
unprecedented, fresh as hell mix between New Order and The 4 Skins.
If you think you've heard this one before it's because one year ago they
self-released a 10-track cassette called "Sans Filtre" which is exactly
what we are pressing now on vinyl for the first time because this was
simply too good to stay only on tape forever.
To make this even more special we have recruited Canadian
multi-instrumentalist and artist Nakkabre (Conifère, Spleen, Vespéral) to
do a brand new artwork and spice things up for the occasion!
Black vinyl LP edition limited to 400 is out 22 November.
