La Fraction is an amazing French four piece from Paris and since 1992 active and this is their third studio album with ten great catchy and melodic tunes where no nose remains dry, and from the first edition were 2000 copies pressed. The band simply do their thing, don't rush around, don't give a damn about any Zeitgeist and have long since found their very own sound and style mix: melodic, rousing Punkrock, which is made so unique and unmistakable by Magali's outstanding voice. Somewhere between the Distillers and French chanson music, as crazy and wild as that may sound. This band can do anything and has perhaps lasted so long because they don't care about conventions and scene codes any more than they do about classic songwriting. At first glance, La Fraction are not always easy but they develop something new and with each listening they are left with wonderful little nuggets that carry you away and inspire you. Powerful and finally really well and lavishly produced and as they themselves so aptly title: Simply too old to die young. I'm sure you want more so check their stuff from the early days.
