La première démo cd de Passion Armée. Musicalement on peut raprocher ça de JOY DIVISION ou RUDIMENTARY PENI, mais c'est un groupe vraiment unique dans le paysage punk français en ce moment, avec une personalité propre qu'on retrouve bien dans les textes et dans l'artwork de ce skeud. Dans le depliant qui accompagne le cd on a le droit aux paroles, aux traductions des morceaux en anglais et quelques anotations, ainsi qu'un chouette mini poster. Le tout rappelle l'ambiance CRASS et compagnie, on est dans la meme catégorie en ce qui concerne l'attention portée à tout ce qui entoure la musique: l'implication à un niveau politique, l'artistique, l'humain...

It’s the sunniest day of the year so far in San Francisco, and I’m sitting in the plush Maximum Rocknroll offices listening to icy French cold wave… It’s not a winning combination, but to Passion Armée’s credit, they’re helping me forget that it’s actually a nice sunny summer’s day and reminding me that life is in fact a relentless existential struggle and in the end we all die alone. The French seem have a knack for this style, from the original cold wave sounds of the ’70s through to recent bands like FRUSTRATION. The six songs here fit nicely in that tradition. Repetitive minor-chord bass lines, cut-glass guitar and occasional keyboard stabs set the scene for detached vocals that remind me a lot of the singer from THE EX. I understand that the band has broken up since recording this disc — that’s a shame. Great stuff.
