VERDUN - Smash The H-Blocks 12'' 1985

And again France, from Rouen came Verdun, formed in 1981, but the first demo was released in 1984. The first originality is a shouted female singing, what is rather rare for the punk in France in this period. Their lyrics are really anarchistic like so many splendid UK bands and sometimes even a tiny bit arrogant. It is clear that the group was interested in the anarchist theoreticians and in political events of this time before writing some lyrics. This 12'' was released via New Wave Records and is a wild + rough platter. A kind of mixture between early power punk with buzzsaw guitars, mid-tempo speed, and good female vocals, a pretty debut sucker.
