Paris Oi! crew RÉSILIENCE are back with their second slab of wax, following up that killer 2023 debut 7" that had everyone scrambling for copies. If you slept on the self-titled EP—four tracks of raw, rain-soaked Parisian street punk with an intro that literally drips autumn melancholy—you already know the deal: this ain't your average streetpunk. These lads take the melodic Oi! blueprint and crank in those unmistakable French deathrock undertones—think brooding, reverb-drenched guitar leads that slither like fog off the Seine.
Grise Époque delivers a fuller, more muscular sound than the debut, eight tracks of crunchy riffs that hit like a braced fist, sinewy leads that twist and bite, and that unbreakable working-class pulse running through every groove. Opener "Résilience" sets the tone with rainfall vibes bleeding into the intro (yeah, they kept that atmospheric trick and doubled down), then explodes into anthemic hooks. Tracks like "Vendredi 13," "Persona Non Grata," and the closer "L'Esperit De La Oi!" are pure terrace-ready gold: catchy as hell, dark without being dour like the best of the current French wave.
In a scene drowning in throwaway demos and hype-chasing clones, RÉSILIENCE gives a perfect autumn soundtrack for anyone still mourning the end of summer or just needing something to shout along to while the world burns.
