Bleep

Yet another shining example of the Soul Jazz crew's crate digging finesse, Les Punks is an attempt to preserve the historical lineage of the first wave of French punk music. Nineteen tracks, most of which were recorded in the late 1970s, give us an insight into the fast-paced and anarchic world that these free thinking musicians inhabited. Ideological mantras such as ‘I Don’t Wanna be a Rich’ by Guilty Razors and the hopelessly romantic ‘I Wanna Be Your Dog’ by Fantomes paint an intriguingly naive and childlike picture of the era, and we can guarantee that if you were a punk rock fan growing up this compilation holds an instant appeal.
