Les Insoumises

And just like that another year went by. A year where we got to see live shows making a return (the virus did too to fuck it up of course), and even though they were mostly locals bands, they were a lot of fun (see you next year Bikini Kill!). What we saw also was all the releases coming out from the bands that took the first year of the pandemic to write new material. And there was a lot! Unfortunatly these lists will never cover as much ground as we would like to, but we prepared a little something for you that you'll find once you go through this article. Without further ado, here's our lists of the best albums/EPs/singles of 2021, in no particular order: BEST ALBUMS OF 2021: Amyl and The Sniffers - Comfort Me thirdface - Do It With A Smile illuminati hotties - Let Me Do One More Bad Waitress - No Taste The Last Gang - Noise Noise Noise Catbite - Nice One VIAL - Loudmouth LEMONGRAB - The Wet Album Filth is Eternal - Love is a Lie, FilthIs Eternal GEL - Violent Clos...

The Last Mile is a hardcore punk band from Montreal, who just released the first single off their debut full length album, "Respect The Frequency" , so we thought it was the perfect time to talk with bassist Stephanie Cole , to learn more about the band and where they are from. Enjoy! The most recent incarnation of The Last Mile made it's debut last year, with the release of the 7", "II". When did the project started and how did you join it? The Last Mile first existed in 2015 as Chris Snelgrove and The Last Mile . I met Chris, who is the guitarist/vocalist in TLM, in 2015 when I was on tour out here from B.C., where I'm originally from. Chris booked our show in Montreal. In summer of 2016, Chris asked me to join his band for a tour of Mexico and Costa Rica later that year. I had never been offered anything like that before! I was extremely psyched and I obviously said yes. I only knew Chris for one day and I didn't even meet the drummer until arri...

On peut pas dire que les punkeuses soient tranquilles dans notre scène en ce moment, et on aime ça comme ça! Au courant de l'été, on a vu passer sous notre radar 4 albums d'artistes qu'on adore, et qu'on arrête pas d'écouter en boucle. On vous conseille de faire de même. Achetez leurs albums, parlez en, partagez les partout sur les réseaux sociaux, demandez à votre émission de radio punk préférée de les faire jouer et bien sûr, à vos promoteurs préférés de les booker ! Voici les 4 albums que tu dois partager à ta gang... BORING GIRLS - Bad Mammal Boring Girls est un groupe de Montréal, qui nous offrait l'année dernière l'excellent EP "Hello, Hell No", et qui récidive déjà avec un deuxième opus tout aussi incisif et éclaté. Les 9 pièces ont une durée moyenne de 1m20, et c'est exactement comme ça qu'on aime notre hardcore punk, simple et droit au but. Mais qu'on se comprenne bien, simple ne veut pas dire simplet ici, car il y a vraiment u...

Hé oui. Vous nous voyez venir là hein? Effectivement aujourd'hui on va se parler. Se parler franchement. Dans le respect et en toute politesse bien sûr. Mais on va se parler. Au risque de se faire traiter de casseuses de party ou de réactionnaires, on va se parler. Parce qu'il faut en parler. Pis ça presse. Premièrement, on espère que vous allez toutes et tous bien. Le gros de la pandémie semble finalement derrière nous, un début de retour à la "normale" voit enfin le jour, et on vous cachera pas qu'on en profite beaucoup en ce moment. Par contre, avec le retour des concerts, et des festivals, et en dépit du fait que cela nous fait déborder de joie à l'idée de se retrouver enfin devant une scène à encourager des artistes locaux, nous sommes forcées de constater qu'il reste encore beaucoup de travail à faire au sujet de la parité sur scène. En fait, on nous met carrément en pleine face la raison du pourquoi nous ne pouvons nous permettre de prendre de vac...

1- Where is the band from and what's the best thing to do there? We're from a little hill in the middle of nowhere near a village called Tomintoul in the North of Scotland. It's pretty remote, and there isn't really much to do in the actual village. There's no music scene or anything. I think the population is about 700 people or something. The village has 3 shops, a little museum and a pub basically, haha. But, there's a lot of nice walks here. We also really like foraging for food and it's great for things like that up here! 2- What does your band name stand for and what was the runner up? The word Bratakus is totally made up. It was a jokey name our Dad would call us if we were behaving badly when we were younger. So, it just means the same as 'brat'. We get a lot of people asking if it's German or Latin or something! There were actually no runners up because we decided on it kind of spur of the moment. We hadn't been a band very long and ...
