OUTFACE "TV generation" (Panx)
le même en français...

 Outface EP Alright, from my first listen to this record Outface have reminded me of another, now defunct,great french band : Six Feet Over, with a somehow more modern sound. This is premier brand hardcore punk, 8 energy-packed tunes, played at highest speed and with great musicianship.

Well, we received this as a promo-tape in november last year, but i've waited until the vinyl was out on Panx records (french godfather of punk) to have it reviewed... call this fair-play or laziness, it's up to you. Anyway, i cant tell exactly what the lyrics are about, no lyrix sheet with the tape, and the singer's all too fast for my old ears to understand everything. Let's say most lyrics are funny ones, few are not.

Beeeeep ! Stop talking shit when you dont know... I got an email from Alexis / Outface about their lyrics, this is a (bad) translation of it : "actually, [our lyrix] are about beautiful things that piss us off : religion, youth & children violence, tv that eats your brains and stops you from thinking, better-than-the-rest mentality, human decadence through consumer society, and more. So we're not really a fun-punk combo, music for picking up girls is not our thing".
Now i hope that Outface will be playing together for a longer time than their ancestors, i'm waiting for many more great records like this one !
Note that their website is in the works... You can contact them for more info, they are also looking for gigs (or maybe a huge US / Canada tour ?!!)
