RUSSIAN ROULETTE - J'ai Tout Oublié 7'' 1984

A little darling from nearby France (Mulhouse) is the only 7Inch from Russian Roulette on Ere Force Records and until the band had found their formation, it takes some time. Finally consisted them on these recordings, I think, of Patrice (vocals), Jean-Yves & Christian (guitars), Patrick (bass) Didi (drums). Two brilliant catchy songs that I would definitely take as an option for a French Compilation, rocking and variable and since I like to work with reviews, a little one for you. "The A-side is a steady but slow rockin’ moody tune with full vocal choruses, echoey vocals, and powerful back-up. Definitely catchy and non-wimpy. The flip blasts out a sorta R’n’B-based rocker with cool hiccup-y vocals and singin’ guitar, much in the vein of the early Flamin Groovies." (Tim Yohannan, MRR #25 • May/June 1985) I can only underline and it's really a pity that not more was recorded, the potential is definitely there, as with many others. I guess, the band broke up shortly after that.
