Now a french Oi! from Bordeaux called Camera Silens and they were active 1981-1988. They were founded summer 1981 by Gilles and Benoît and the group chooses a strong name. Camera Silens is a reference to isolation cells used for the incarceration of members of the Red Army Fraction and they won a contest in 1982 and two years later this debut album was released by themselves. A 7Inch and a second record followed 1987 and one year later the band broke up. Ten decent streetpunk numbers on this debut which can compete with non-European bands of that time. On many compilations, one the great Oi! The French Connection Vol.1 record and I'm finished with words, time to sleep.
They were good performers I didn't know what meant Camera silens thank you for this note

Camera silens are the isolation cells where political prisoners were imprisoned during the "anni de piombo" in Italy. Irony of fate, now Gilles (former singer) is sadly facing prison in France.

DeleteJust a heads-up about this file - audio drops out in a couple of songs and there are a few jumps in some of the songs too - might need to replace the file!
