Hartos tras años de paro y mala suerte con las mujeres, Marius, (Beekeepers, We Are The Men...) y su buen amigo Jerome, sin un duro y aburridos de no hacer nada, han decidido unirse en un "romance" de por vida para formar "Stratocastors" y así tener el modo de expresar su mas profundos sentimientos sobre la vida, el amor, la cocina francesa y como robar en los supermercados...
Marius toca la guitarra y el Synth, Jerome la batera, ambos cantan, en francés... y si les preguntas por sus influencias, te dirán que muchos de nuestros mas absolutos "favs"... por supuesto esta Jay Reatard, los Coachwhips, Crass, The Screamers, Arab on radar, The Garden, Useless Eaters y el mismísimo Philippe Katerine ( Ufffff... este último es "duro", dadle al link!) entre otros, y si hoy os hablamos de ellos es por una sencilla razón... Estos dos tipos han conseguido volarnos los sesos con dos puñeteros temas, dos "jodidos" temas en apenas tres minutos y medio donde el dúo parisino después de un experimental y homónimo álbum, también altamente recomendable y del que el propio Marius nos contaba que le había permitido encontrar su identidad, trabajar con el sonido y elegir la dirección definitiva del grupo, este dúo ha conseguido desplegar con mucho tino un punk descarnado, descarado, mucho menos "reverberizado" y con tempos mas rápidos que lo habitual dentro de la enorme y fantástica movida francesa de grupos Punk-Garage de la que siempre os hablamos, tampoco nos resultan ni tan psych ni tan trash como otros, pero a cambio su sonido tiene un aire mucho mas setentero, se les notan sus influencias del Synth-Punk (referencias como Arab on Radar o The Screamers tienen que notarse por narices) su sonido es mas experimental y crudo... Y mejor nos dejamos de decir tonterías y os escucháis estos dos pepinazos, vais a flipar como pocas veces!!!!
After years of unemployment and bad luck with women, Marius (Beekeepers, We Are The Men...) and Jerome have entered into a lifelong "bromance" Broke and bored, they started the band "Stratocastors" in order to express their deepest feelings about life, love, French Cuisine and shoplifting.
Marius plays guitar and Synth, Jerome is on the drums, they both sing (in French)... and most of their biggest influences include some of our most absolute "Favs", Jay Reatard, Coachwhips, Crass, The Screamers, Arab on radar, The Garden, Useless Eaters and... of course Philippe Katerine!!!... And the reason to write about these guys in our blog is easy... They have just managed to blow our minds with only two songs, two fucking songs in just less than three and a half minutes, which comes after the Parisian duo's highly reommended experimetntal self-titled álbum, helping them to find the real sound and identity of the band, according with Marius' words. All this has led them to deliver, with a killer precision, this insolent Punk, with much less "Reverb" and faster tempos than the rest of the fantastic bands forming the hordes in the huge scene of the actual french punk-garage that we are always talking about. Also they seem not so psych or trash like others, but instead their sound reveals more 70's attitude, and you can perfectly notice the evidence of Synth-punk, obviously referencing Arab on Radar or The Screamers, with a more experimental and raw sound... and now we'll stop telling you stupid things, here are the incredible songs that are going to drive you crazy.
