Faucheuse are a bit like your usual favourite meal but with a different sauce and seasoning. Faucheuse are from Bordeaux (France?s national d-beat sanctuary) and play an incredible original blend of classic, fist-pumping, riff-driven Totalit?r-style k?ng hardcore done to perfection and epic head-banging hard rock?n?roll. Not the boring ?d-beat?n?roll? bollocks, the tasty stuff. The songwriting is ace and clearly thought-out. All the elements, from the thundering guitar leads and solos (with an almost heavy-metal quality at times), the groovy bass variations, the presence of ?unorthodox? instruments, the clever use of pauses, the songs? structures to the vocals? changes of tines, contribute to the genuine narrative quality of the songs. It?s not arty or anything, it?s still raw d-beat hardcore but more subtle than your common Dis. It?s got style and it rocks hard. Emilie sings her heart out and deals in tunes instead of screams, unusual for the genre indeed. It takes a moment to get used to it but it makes the music even more energetic, dynamic (those mid-paced songs?), and catchy. Who said d-beat hardcore was bound to be unoriginal? This Lp contains five brand new songs on one side and the ones from the demo tape on the other. Let?s welcome Faucheuse, the Paintbox of k?ng hardcore.
