Remi destroys the drums with what sounds like a quadruple pedal machine gun. The dynamic tapping laid down my Michel and Bastien is mind boggling. Crazy how they managed to get so technical with the tapping and still flow. Amazing bass lines from Arno; this album is a must have for any skate punk fanatic."

Lyrically it’s a stunningly substantive commentary on the modern world, written through the lens of a lifetime of visceral experience.3. Counterpunch - Bruises (121 votes)
