Raymonde et les Blancs-Becs

First release and historical founders of Crash Disques, these "trashamuffin" champions can be considered as the last important band of the original "alternative movement". Protest artists like no other, these stage experts developed during 6 years (90-96), an original fusion able to break the wall of sound, always experimenting further the crafting of the reggae pulse, devastating rhythms, irradiated guitars et toasted speeches.

This is no cartoon for adults : the 7 musicians forming this young subversive organisation, creating around the ned of 90, are no less than la crême de la crême of the recent French rock scene (indeed they are ex-members of Beurk's Band, Ludwig Von 88, P.P.I., Zig & Solex...).

Different horizons, multiple experiences, but intact energy : relentlessly integrating and experimenting, merging all kinds of street music : punk-rock / hardcore, rub-a-dub style / ragamuffin, rap, following the line of NEGU GORRIAK, BEURK'S BAND and other DIRTY DISTRICT, these notorious jacks of all trades have produced a both personal, particularly torrid alchemy on stage where the "R.B.B." have been intensely and madly seducing an ever growing fanbase. rarely did we witness a band without any album released yet - and without concessions - generate such a hype phenomenon in the underground scene. Hot ambiance of radical party and powerful concerts (already more than 50 all around Paris and Switzerland via l'Olympia and l'Elysée-Montmartre), Stunning images and visuals (multiple singers-party makers on stage, toasters ans other bands' musicians intervention, epidemic and unforgettable logo): everything is gathered to make it a huge thing !!!

Raymonde (bass, emblem), Vincent (drums), Gondrax (guitar, voals, yelling), Coquet (vocals, memorable hangovers), KK (vocals, propaganda), Twist (trumpet, fake phlegm), Mr Le Directeur (vocals, human sampling & percussions, various stupid stuff, graphics), surrounded by their great technical team (DJ. Jean-Mi on sound, Rodrigo on management)... were joined on record by members of the Wampas, Cadavres, Oigdts for the funniest raga final and jump from one style to another with total ease on this 14-track furious and cool album where skacore, raggapunk, humour, cultural sampling (Artaud, Dali, news 1968, short movies extracts) and radical themes collide. Their lyrics are indeed a genuine anti-authority, anti-state, anti-exclusions, anti-oppressions, anti-racism, anti-sexism festival : permanent revolt spirit, which unlike too many others they've been following in real life for a long time (support concerts,demonstrations, etc...).
