Release Notes:
2010. ImprΘgnez vous de ce premier album de The
Parisians comme on croquerait dans une Madeleine de
Proust. LÆan passΘ cÆΘtait lÆexcellent E.P ½ Alesia
╗ dΘjα sorti chez Bonus Tracks Records (Yarol
Poupaud).
AujourdÆhui, lÆalbum de The Parisians fait mieux
que confirmer : lα o∙ dÆautres ½ punks α temps
partiel╗ ont abandonnΘ le rockÆnÆroll, prΘfΘrant
suivre les diktats de la hype, The Parisians
(Stevan- guitare et voix, Xavier- guitare, ClΘment-
batterie, Nico - basse) creuse cette veine. Avec
toujours pour principales boussoles des choses
aussi apprΘciables la rage de The Stooges, la
flamme de Richard Hell & The Voidoids et la
certitude dÆΩtre un paria dans son propre prΘ carrΘ
qui faisait la dΘmesure des New York Dolls.
Sur cet enregistrement, il y a 11 titres.
Individuellement ils ont chacun des airs de petits
tubes urgents, acΘrΘs, avec voix ΘtranglΘe, larsen
qui tranche dans le vif et rythmiques animΘes par
on ne sait quelle fureur. EcoutΘs α la suite ils
sont aussi un appel α ne pas arrΩter le bruit en si
bon chemin (½ Stop The Movement ╗, ½ Difficult
Times ╗).
Ces chansons dÆaristocrates dΘvastΘs sont pour que
la jeunesse nÆoublie jamais son devoir de foutre le
raffut. Un shoot dÆadolescence. Tant que le rock
continue α marcher sur des charbons ardents
pourquoi ne pas y croire ?

Very few are the rock connoisseurs who donÆt know
their name in France : maybe because they hung up
with the Libertines, or maybe because they launched
a whole new rock scene in Paris in spring 2004.
They went back and forth between Doherty and BarΓt,
but most of all the Parisians have always known how
to play and write classy and precise songs, a rare
thing these days.
Mainly influenced by the 70s NY punk scene and the
Stooges (and not the Libertines, as it is commonly
believed), they represented hope for anyone who
craved a breath of fresh air in 2004 and 2005, Carl
BarΓt said they were his new favourite band. They
toured France, England, Germany, the US and of
course roamed the ParisianÆs underground clubs to
find their true identity. besides Stevan, excellent
singer and songwriter, there is Xavier lead
guitarist, ClΘment on the drums and Nico on bass.
Since then, the Parisians undoubtedly took it up a
notch with songs more elegant than ever for which
they fight on stage as if their lives depended on
it. After a great first EP ½ Alesia ╗, their album
(entirely in English) recorded with Bonus Tracks
and Yarol Poupaud, clearly and easily reflects
their talent and creativity.
