I posted this music video on another thread: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRt6dp1oHpI

A little bit later in the game than you would think; seems 85-87 was when they were operating. Just basic punk, but not bad by any means. Apparently big enough in France to make a music video.

I first heard them on the first 'Chaos en France' comp LP, which was '83 (although I didn't hear it til '85-'86). They were definitely one of the chief French oi outfits, alongside Trotskids, Snix, Reich Orgasm, Komintern Sect etc, although it took 'em longer to get their own LP out.
