Les petits Mutins de Noël are a Christmas punk band, comprised of more French bands than you can count on one hand: Monster Mash, Supersports, Acid Gras, Die Vräcks, Louis Lingg and The Bombs, and The Flug. This new song, “La Bombe avant Noël” (The Bomb Before Christmas), piqued my interest simply based on their sound. This may be a whole mess of bands smashed together – and somehow they sound fucking great. The song itself, after some AI-magic translation, appears to be about coming into a family Christmas with the intention of blowing it up (metaphorically). That sounds like a perfect premise for a punk Christmas song – way better than pop-punkifying a Christmas carol…
I also really loved their intro to the song on Bandcamp, posted below in translation:
Oh Oh OooOoh Shit!
For this end of the year, a little log to toss in your fireplace, on your screen (with a fake fireplace), or in a barricade (with a real bastard fire) to stoke things up.
Short, slow-burning log cut by your favorite forest rangers:
Monster Mash, Supersports, Acide Gras, Die Vräcks, Louis Lingg and The Bombs, and The Flug.
With Love, Elf’s word
Bottom Line: French punk perfection.
