BETON ARMEE - Second Souffle Ep (pochette bleue)
€5.00
No tax
Montréal. Founded in 2018, Béton Armé quickly made a name for itself well beyond Québec — and this second EP confirms the attention was well-deserved. Four tracks, one clear direction: the band proudly claims its love for French punk and Oi! of the '80s, and you can hear it in every bar. The sound is direct, muscular, built on rhythms that raise fists and choruses designed to be bellowed in unison. L'union fait la force, Victoire, À travers les tempêtes — the titles alone map out the agenda: music of conviction, proud of its working-class roots and its heritage. Rixe and Syndrome 81 come to mind inevitably, but so do the old guard — Chaos en France, L'Infanterie Sauvage — whose lineage Béton Armé openly claims as their own. What strikes you is the consistency. The band isn't trying to surprise anyone — it's perfecting its craft. Danick Joseph-Dicaire's vocals command the room, Olivier Bérubé Sasseville's guitars carve out riffs that stick in your head, and the rhythm section drives the point home without wavering. Recorded at Studio 440, mixed by Max at Château Vergogne, mastered by Will at Dead Air Studio — every step handled with care in service of a lo-fi sound that's rough by choice, not by accident. Released jointly in Europe through Primator Crew and in the US through Roachleg Records, Second Souffle is proof that Oi! sung in French still has a bright future ahead — even 6,000 kilometres from Paris.
