FACTION-S - Paris Negative Oi!

Location: Paris, France
Release: Primator Crew, 2020

Age of Quarantine, day # 162 - France has been providing quality Oi! music for a while now and it seems there's a new batch of up-and-coming bands, most notably, FACTION-S.

Their debut EP released last year has already drawn some attention with a direct influence from the likes of RIXE (including ex-members) and Syndrome 81, showing off a more mid-paced and burly Oi!/Punk style, then, a couple of months back things have changed considerably when they dropped Noyau Dur, containing 3 new fully charged Hardcore songs that makes even the wimpiest lad ready to brawl!

Some of the band members can also be found playing in other fresh and dope french Oi! groups: Squelette and Tchernobyl.

So far, in 2020, there are very few other groups besides FACTION-S and maybe COMBAT FORCE that generated that much buzz in the Oi! underworld but, hailing from the rising Basques scene, enters the black metal skinheads CUERO and their sophomore album Cabezabota! A true delight for bootheadz across the globe.

  1. Hello. First and foremost, love your blog! Truly. Concerning CUERO, it is not their first album, it is their 2nd. Their first was "Todo Hierro", from 2019. But yes, top-notch album, no doubt about it!
