One of my favorite records and SS sells it cheap!

the Béruriers noirs, probably the most famous punk from the 80's in france : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpH0gre8AQw


Marvin and Papier Tigre were mentioned before. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UpS816G-XL4)
They do something called the "Colonie de vacance" : four bands (marvin, papier tigre, electric electric, pneu) playing a show together, each band on a corner playing simultaneously and the public in the center, it seems fun !

There are a lot of rock-noise bands who love some fucked up metrics in their music :

PoiL : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1UbIbk ... rt_radio=1
Chromb : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1qmlCm_XHI
Sec (might have been mentioned before too) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKzxR2O6c3E

Some rock in Occitan (a dialect from the south which nearly disappeared and is often defended by regionalists, mainly conservatives and racists, so i'm glad to hear other ways of making it alive !) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-XPH8y6YHU

How's about Sister Iodine?

Here are a couple of recent bands:

I miss this band, but I'm always delighted to share their music with those who ask about French sounds.

Digging Yakoo's new band.
