| Still from "125, rue Montmartre" (1959) |
This record came out right around the time I started getting really into Get Up Kids and Braid and embracing the whole "sad emo kid" stereotype. There was little chance of me catching it at the time; it was a white label release by two German labels. But I keep coming back to the 125, Rue Montmartre 7" regularly since downloading it over a decade ago. They were contemporaries of the better known Yage, and really only existed for two years. This falls in that sweet spot of Euro emo-core/screamo/skramz that would, within 5 years, be on that cutting edge of progressive punk and hardcore.
That is a ridiculous sentence. It would be less ridiculous to liken this to a more jangly Dahlia Seed. The incredible German reissue label Thirty Something Records co-released a discography 12" last year with Jason Teisinger's recently revived Belladonna Records. The first press has all but sold out, but there's a second pressing on coke bottle clear vinyl coming later this year. So treat this like a taster, and order that record now.
