Third Lp for this cool punk band from the french riviera, 15 originals (all clocking under 2 mns), and a cover of “Hey Joe”, keeping the flame of short and fast tracks, some real power pop hooks with a proto punk ’76 vibe…

Arsene Obscene returns with his Loozers for a definitive 3rd LP, packed with hits that are as much original punk as the most explosive DIY pop. A tighter line-up for this new record, with hints of The Damned’s Machine Gun Etiquette and some Nerves tracks. The melodies are even more fleshed-out and polished, and the sound is warmer and more 70s-oriented.
No, Arsene Obscene & the Loozers isn’t just another revival band, it’s got its own line, its own design, from the obsessive, manic brain of its leader. There’s something for everyone, from your 8-year-old sister to your girlfriend who knows nothing about music, and even your old dad who was involved in May ’68 and ended his career in banking, even if he was a fan of the MC5 and The Who. A record to listen to over and over until its melodies never leave your brain!
