French punk/coldwave trio No Filter has signed a record deal with Avant! Records and will release the album Sans Filtre on vinyl on 22 November. No Filter is a trio from the French region of Dauphiné, active in the black metal scene for 20 years through different projects. They created No Filter to explore punk, Oi, and coldwave sounds.
They started by singing in English but after their first demo, they decided to opt for French to improve their lyrics by singing in their native language. The themes addressed in their songs are violence, hatred, party nights, the countryside, their roots and friendship. Synth punk, bagarre et blousons noirs in their own words. Musically speaking, they somehow fit in the current cold Oi French scene (Bromure, Syndrome 81, Oi Boys), but they exaggerate the synth/wave element, ending up sounding like an unprecedented, fresh-as-hell mix between New Order and The 4 Skins.
If you think you've heard this one before it's because one year ago they self-released a 10-track cassette called Sans Filtre which is exactly what Avant! Records are pressing now on vinyl for the first time because they think it's too good to stay only on tape. To make this even more special Avant! Records have recruited Canadian multi-instrumentalist and artist Nakkabre (Conifère, Spleen, Vespéral) to do brand-new artwork and spice things up for the occasion!
A couple of days ago No Filter released a brand new video "Baston Générale". The entire album is available for streaming as well. Link
