(FR 2015, 7" produced by La Vida Es Un Mus Discos)
Rixe are a new french band that came out with a killer 4-songs EP in the february of 2015, with people from a lot of other bands (Lion's Law it's a name that tells you something?). The formula is pretty easy at the first sight: some good old oi! like they Nabat, Komintern Sect and some other bands used to do back in the days; but it's quite hard to make old school music without being trite and boring as fuck (how many bands we know that are just photocopies of 80's bands?) and, well, the Rixe are able to revive this kind of sound, to remake it in an original and personal way. The guitar is dirty like it's rusty, the drumming is simple and the bass lines are pretty simple too, but they are the real driving lines of the songs. If you are in search for fast stuff this is not for you, here you'll find just good and classical songs, like the fathers of this genre used to do.
It's quite hard to find copies of this vinyl thanks to the big amount of sales it realizes and it's bad on internet the lyrics were impossible to find, but trust us: if you find this 7" buy it immediatly. It worth the price.
The EP opens with "Razzia", where we immediatly get in touch with all the best weapons this band got: simplicity, the capacity in using it and a rough voice that support at the best the song costruction. Then it comes "Enfatigables", maybe the best tune of the EP, with an intro of bass and a fast-paced, aggressive and punctuated rhythm that just leads your head to think about what's the best way to get in a fight right now! "Larmes de crocodile" is a little faster and maybe is the less impressive track but it's nothing you can't forgive to this guys. The fourth and final song is the title track, and is also the longest of the EP, the only one who passes the 3:00 minutes lenght. The chorus has some vague melodic element which increseases the epic, like, also, the guitar solo, very simple but perfect in this situation.

Resuming: a band that has decided to retake in hands the elements which were at the base of 80's italian/french oi! music, and, fuck, they have realized a great EP, simple but very funny to hear to. Of course, the experience of years in playing music got an heavy weight in this, because they don't just reply what bands like Plastic Surgery, Enfanterie Sauvage (just to name two bands we didn't quote before) did, they make something new and of good quality.
