The bombs they throw are musical, they come from Paris (they could only come from Paris!) and they'll grab you and demand your instant attention.Their sound is a mix of ultra-political anarchic punk rock and fizzing children's nursery rhyme riot-pop. Laced with so much energy and a whole sonic attack of chaos and fizzy energy, they throw a crazy live party. They could start a riot in a phone box and regularly blow up little bars with pop Molotovs and bang bang boom boom punk rock energy!The line up:Josh on Vocals and Guitar.Gilbertmuda on Drums and Vocals.Axel Danger Tulip on Bass and Vocals.Arno Life on Guitar and Vocals.Clem Phlegm on KeyboardsJulie Hate on vocals Their influences:Punk bands like The Epoxies, Antiflag, Rancid, NOFX and Greenday.They have a strong love of ’78 style punk like The Buzzcocks, The Clash and The Undertones.Never forgetting that they are children of the 90s having grown up with bands such as Nirvana, Bikini Kill, Sleater Kinney and The Butthole Surfers.In their song-writing however, their admiration of classic children’s songs is clearly visible, as is their 60s influences; Shirley Ellis, Aretha Franklin and Nancy Sinatra.
