From what I've been able to learn, France was popular for the 'skunk' sound. A fusion of 'skin' & 'punk'. Whatever you want to call it, here's a 2 Disc compilation from the green fields of France that features some good, French Punk Rock.

Hi doc
ReplyDeleteIs "skunk" a word of yours ?,because I never heard or seen this term before.
Everybody knows we had some great singles : 84 , guilty razors , gazoline ...
In a similar vein , there is a good comp whose name is "paris mix". Easily googlesiable I guess.
If you can't find it , ask me
Cheers
Honestly François, I had never heard that term either. I lifted it from a MRR review I found on KFTH, here: http://www.killfromtheheart.com/albums.php?id=7389&rec_type=comp
DeleteThanks for the info, I need to keep searching!
skunks was used fair bit in England in the early 80s - for bands like Blitz who were half punk/ half skins - pretty sure there was a club in London even called skunx
ReplyDeleteall bit daft really
