THE REMENBERS "It's" 7" EP (PIR-023)
$4 ppd. within the USA / $7 ppd. worldwide

Plastic Idol once again looks abroad for a rock 'n' roll fix and hits paydirt in the form of a three-song 7" EP from the REMENBERS entitled "It's."

The Remenbers (no, it's not a typo) are a trio from Marseille, France, which borders the Mediterranean Sea in the country's southern region. Though a relatively new addition to the exciting French rock 'n' roll underground, the Remenbers have quickly made a name for themselves, one empty beer can and blown amp at a time. When not abusing his kit in the Remenbers, drummer Alex also does time in LES HULKS and JACK OF HEART, both similarly spirited outfits.

On their debut release, the Remenbers deliver three primitive garage punkers in jarring, needle-pegged fashion. The title track is a devastatingly powerful introduction, strung together by a thundering rhythm section, shards of guitar squall, and scornful vocals; the result is not unlike an amalgam of BILLY CHILDISH and BRAINBOMBS. The B-side goes straight for the jugular with "Remember," a bouncy, swaggering romp, and "Roadrunner," an overdriven gem. Vive la France!

The Remenbers' "It's" 7" EP was pressed in a limited edition of 500 copies on red vinyl. Mathieu, the band's guitar playin' screamer, dressed-up the sleeve.

I wholeheartedly endorse this one, having heard it some time ago.

I will have copies for sale as well.

I'm just having a hard time wrapping my brain around this:

I wrote that line. Maybe it's a stretch...maybe it's not. Good record, though.
