GUIMAUVE - Azovstal Ep
€7.00
No tax
Paris. The name makes you smile; the content doesn't mess around. Guimauve is French hardcore punk born from a core between Paris and Caen, and Azovstal is their first vinyl EP — seven tracks recorded at Luna Rossa, mixed by V., mastered by D. Husayn at North London Bomb Factory. From Cotard Tango onward, the tone is set: urgent, edgy, riffs carved sharp and vocals that make no effort to please. This is hardcore that moves fast and has things to say. Futur Foutu, Paris Crack, Macadam Perpète — a map of the times, bleak and unsparing, drawn from the fringes of the city. No nostalgia, no punk postcard imagery: Guimauve stares the present down and doesn't look away. The title track is the heart of the record — a tribute to the victims of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, to the defenders of the besieged Azovstal steelworks. The fact that a hardcore punk band names this directly, without metaphor, and backs it with a music video says something about the group's ambition and integrity. The political content isn't set dressing here — it's the raw material. A short, dense EP that leaves a mark. One to watch closely.
