new Syndrome 81 ep
Syndrome 81 new ep is coming out. in light of the recent disgusting events in paris, $1 from each record is being donated to the french red cross. they can be purchased here: http://ourwayoflife.storenvy.com/
this and more on the Syndrome 81 page
"France's Syndrome 81 started gaining momentum in the Oi scene with their 2013 demo tape, drawing comparisons to the plethora of great bands that defined the French Oi sound of the 1980s with a heavy stomp culled from classic USHC. The band has progressed since then, dropping a split with Litovsk and submitting a track to a compilation with their French brethren Rixe, Outreau, and Traitre. ‘Desert Urbain’ is Syndrome 81’s first fully-realized release since that first 2013 demo. The sound is more diverse but also more defined, having filed off some of the American influences and moved in a darker, distinctly French direction that is both melancholy and anthemic, with lyrics being influenced by growing up in Brest, France. Brest was the base of the French Navy in the 1600s, and the city’s prime location as a military outpost continued into the 20th century when the German’s occupation turned the city into a U-Boat base. After the Allies invaded France, a fierce battle took place in Brest that almost completely destroyed their city, leaving only a few relics of its storied past. The city was hastily rebuilt after the war in a hyper-modern and utilitarian style that lent very little to its classic architectural aesthetic. Growing up in Brest is to be torn between two distinct worlds, one in which you can walk through the past and one in which your history has been stolen from you. The band comes from this dark place and write songs about their personal struggles growing up and growing old. These are songs about watching your friends lose sight and move on while you question why you are still here, haunted by your past and having to look your former self in the eye while you apologize for who you’ve become. These are songs about trudging through a desert you built yourself."

the Janitors
A pretty modern rock n roll group that sounds more like garage and 77 punk rock n roll than oi. I am posting some of their few, but excellent, oi songs. The rest of their material is basically high energy rock n roll.

support good labels
these are some my favorite active french labels who reissue classic and obscure french bands and showcase new talent. they also helped me fill my french record collection for much fuckin cheaper than collector price buillshit. they won't all be around forever, so go support them.
Euthanasie Records
- by far my personal favorite, popular to obscure - what Captain Oi! was to 80's british oi and uk82. Euthanasie reissued most of the Chaos Productions catalogue. Plus, it's not just a record label but also a supporter of underground french music and culture; check out the french rock and punk/oi discographies (with some music samples).
catalogue samples: Camera Silens, Kidnap, Reich Orgasm, Brainwash, RAS, Komintern Sect, RAFF, L'Infanterie Sauvage, Wunderbach, Mopo Mogo, Kromosom 4, Traces, Survet Skins + more.
Bords De Seine (BDS records)
- dedicated to oi, old to new. BDS showcases a large french and international oi catalogue and also a consistent distro with some good shit in it... if you keep your eyes open.
catalogue samples: Tolbiac's Toads, Snix, Skinkorps, Bootboys, Oïskank, Taxi Driver, the Veros, West Side Boys, Sales Bastard Fuckin Crew, Bombardiers, Haircut, Les Poches, Crâne De Fer, Sans Sursis + more.
Un Vie Pour Rien ? (UVPR Vinyles)
- a solid and varied label (also zines/comps) with fresh bands in recent years and some 80's reissues/collections.
catalogue samples: Swingo Porkies, RAS, L'Infanterie Sauvage, Bombardiers, HardxTimes, the Daltonz, the Janitors, Maraboots, Lion's Law + more.
over time i may get around to some other labels

Envers et Contre Tous
I just accidentally found this band while getting Toholl's songs from youtube. It looks like they were around from about '07-'12.
Des modes de vie from Envers et Contre Tous -Démo disponible!!- from Myspace.

Toholl's
Just a couple of years ago, after having a 2 day "punk fest" for my birthday and waking up the following day after a party at my house, still drunk, i stumbled out into the living room to notice a stack of like 5 or 6 these fucking cds on a my table for some reason. i had no fucking clue who this band was or where they came from. (eventually i figured it out but that's no fun.). As for the band, i will let you judge for yourselves, and i will comment that maybe their next release will be stronger, as they have an EP coming out on Bords De Seine in April.

Traitre
newer band. they have a slightly mixed style but there's a serious 80's french oi sound in most of their songs.

Taxi Driver
i never really liked this soft ass band, even for french its too much for me, but why the fuck not... They were originally from the 80's and their recordings weren't released until much later. I'm not sure what's from when, besides their '90 "R.I.P." demo.
