Mid-tempo punk with female vocals. While the lyrics are on the mark (anti-racism and anti-state abuse), the music is a bit repetitive. This is not to say it’s limp, but just that the tempo and structures are very similar on all 3 tracks, and given their length, a bit more change might’ve livened it up. Decent.
This has a nice, wild feel to it. A kind of mixture between early simple punk and eerie vocals. Similar to SUICIDE but more feel to it and definitely more guitar in there.
Despite Gerard’s rave about them in this issue, I find this tape good, but not overwhelming. Since I can’t understand the French lyrics, which admittedly would have a lot to do with a true appreciation of VERDUN’s impact, I can only comment on the music, which is power punk with buzzsaw guitars, mid-tempo speed, and good female vocals. Sound quality is OK.
