The Noodles were a five piece from from Angers and consisted of Gilles (vocals), Bruno & Doume (guitars), Jean-Mi (bass), Jeff (drums). Following their bassist's death (unfortunately, the release of the mini-album was marked by a tragic event, Jean-Mi was killed in a road accident), the band disbanded after releasing only one EP and one mini-album. I think, I give you two reviews from the time of release and you can see what a great PowerRock band they were: “Do we have any idea of calling ourselves the Noodles? Especially when, like these Angevins, we are capable of such vigorous titles, between Hoodoo Gurus and Real Kids. Perfect production due to Christophe Sourice, and compositions still a little rough but whose merit is already to offer a perfect welcome to the guitars that sound like a cavalry charge”. (Monique Sabatier, Nineteen #23, June 87) - “Dead For Nothing is a real electric shock, wild and devastating… To be placed with the first Damned, Pistols, Buzzcocks…” (Rock Hardi n°15/16, 1987) - In 2017, Nineteen Something/[PIAS] released a CD compilation with all their studio songs, including their compilation contributions, which you can check out on bandcamp. What remains are some excellent songs from a short-lived band that wasn't able to conquer the French Punkrock ocean...... Dead For Nothing!
