AVANT! Records: No Filtre – Sans Filtre

No Filtre - Sans Filtre

Here comes a new punk.

If you know anything about me – as in Andrea, the record label’s head – you know I have a thing for Oi since I was a teenage skinhead. And with Avant! being a coldwave/synthpop label, our next release couldn’t be more special. No Filter are three children of the French region of Dauphiné, active in the black metal scene for 20 years through different projects. They created No Filter with the aim of exploring punk, Oi and coldwave sounds.

They started by singing in English but after their first demo they decided to opt for French to improve their lyrics by singing in their own native language. Themes addressed in their songs are violence, hatred, party nights, the countryside, their roots and friendship. “Synth punk, bagarre et blousons noirs” in their own words.

AVANT! Records: Crush Of Souls – (A​)​Void Love

Crush Of Souls - (A​)​Void Love

Coming from an arduous two years of literal blood, sweat and tears – with gigs becoming infamous with guitars smashed to pieces, broken glasses, unruly audience front flipping onto the stage – every bit of drama, creative wanderings around Europe and sleep psychosis can be found within the walls of (A)Void Love.

With Paris providing the background and a scene of friends such as avant-garde drag artist Tuna Mess and industrial techno veteran Poison Point who pushed his creativity even further, Crush Of Souls constant spirit is that it remains unpredictable and thrives on collaboration. This is even more true with his newest record.

There’s always been a thread of synth-punk, death rock and DIY noise running through all of Charles’ projects (Crocodiles, ISSUE, Flowers of Evil), however Crush Of Souls pushes harder and further into the darkness with (A)Void Love.
