This band from St-Etienne was the precursor of the rub-a-dub in France, Babylon Fighters was one of the most important references of the "alternative movement". From the mid 80's to its split in 1992, they have revisited reggae, dub and ska. Between 1987 and 1991 they have produced 3 albums. The last one "Shut up, do not shutdown" was very disappointing and it will spell the end of the group a year later ... After their signature with Bondage records in 1989 they have produced this wonderful album "Position crash" also reprinted on Crash Records in 2005. Members were: Birdy...............................voices Fred Denis......................guitars Patrick Bylebyl................bass Philippe Combe..............drums Jean-Luc Aube................keyboard Jean-Pierre Guillot.........sax Position crash
In Normandy in 1980, at the age of 13 years, Hubaut Emmanuel, aka the Earl of Eldorado, and William Lamy, aka Goliam, founded Les Tétines Noires. The duo signed with french label Boucherie Productions to record the title "Crazy Horse" on the compilation "La Relève". Accompanied by Marcus on bass, Les Tétines Noires released their first album "Fauvisme et pense-bête" in 1990. The band play a crazy music inspired by irock / new wave, dada and the record is very well received by the press. Then they recorded the second album "Brouettes" in 1991 with a new bassist Eduardo Leal de la Gala. In 1992 Anthony Perez, aka Entonie, became the new bassist. The gigs become crazy. A hundred concerts in France, Europe, the Eastern and United States leave rooms littered with feathers, sugar, steam Incense, decibel saturated and messed up and fascinated spectators. Les Tétines Noires leave Boucherie Productions, Nicolas Barrot (drums since 1991) left the band and was replaced by Jerome Sudan. They record the concept album "12 têtes de mort", released in 1995. An album much more violent and industrial production and neat (signed Amadou Sall, ex Treponem Pal). The sleeves of the first two albums were produced by Joel Hubaut. The 12 sleeves of "12 dead heads" are released by 12 contemporary artists (including Hubaut Joel, Ben, Orlan, Fabrice Hybert, Daniel Spoerri, John Giorno ...). In 1998, one of the influences of the group, Christian Death, takes a title of Les Tétines Noires "Washing head", as the "Washing Machine" on the album Pornographic Messiah. Fauvisme et pense-bête
In 1989 Gilles Moret from the Noodles and Patrice Cottenceau from Second Chambre formed the band with two other guys in Angers. They hung around with Eric Sourice who played with The Tugs and was the boss of the records label Black & Noir. They have produced a single in 1990 and after this LP produced by the other Christophe Sourice the Eric's brother. They have sold 2200 of this LP.
When I saw this band I never heard about them before. It was in 2005/2006 at La Lune des Pirates in Amiens. I very loved them and I was very impresed so, at the end of the gig I bought this record. Dickybird was a french powerfull noise band from Le Havre. Thethreemembers ofthegroupproduced asound filledof tensionandviolence. This record was recorded and mixed by Steve Albini and mastered by John Lodder.

OTH is a band from the 1rst french punk generation. They have began in 1977 in Montpellier. They are one of the early bands that wasn't from Paris. Their texts are very recognizable and personnal. The song writer/singer is Spi. In those texts there is something of poetic (IMO). During their lifetime they have made some covers, "Animal Fatal" is a cover of the Donovan's song "Mellow Yellow". Remember the great cover of "Get of my Cloud" called by O.T.H. "Interdit aux Chiens". This 7" is their last one and was put out in 1987. O.T.H. was: Spi......................voices Domi..................guitars Motch................guitars Beubeu..............drums Phil....................bass Animal fatal
