No Filter - Sans Filtre

If you are digging the new wave of Oi bands flirting with the dark side of postpunk, this is the perfect band for you. Aggro beats, tense bass lines, grating guitar and nasty lyrics about violence and rudeness.

No Filter is a band made up of three guys from the Dauphiné who've been active in the black metal scene for 20 years through a variety of projects. They created No Filter with the aim of exploring punk, Oi and coldwave sounds. They started out singing in English, but after their first demo decided to opt for French to strengthen their lyrics. Themes in their songs include violence, hatred, party nights, the countryside, their roots and friendship. ‘Synth punk, brawl and black jackets’, as they put it themselves. Musically, they fit in well with the current French Cold Oi scene (Bromure, Syndrome 81, Cran, Kronstadt), but they exaggerate the synth/wave element, creating a novel and explosive mix between New Order and The 4 Skins. If that rings a bell, it's because a year ago they self-produced a 10-track cassette called Sans Filtre, pressed for the first time on vinyl because it was simply too good to stay on tape alone.
