Bordeaux City delivers once again !!! Not just the best red wine around but some of the best D Beat in 2023 !!! Featuring members of quite a few known acts over the years ! This Demo tape consists of 8 tracks to bounce your head and pound your fist too !!! LTD Edition of 100 copies first press ... A co operation between DIRTY SLAP and FIGHT FOR YOUR MIND Records !!!
Our take: Eight-track demo tape from this band from the d-beat haven of Bordeaux, France. The scene in that city is so fertile that there’s a full spectrum of d-beat flavors, ranging from the more polished and rock-influenced to the more brutal and guttural. Phosphore is on the latter end of the spectrum, with simple and aggressive riffs grounded in the Swedish Shitlickers / Anti-Cimex school of Discharge-inspired hardcore. I love Phosphore’s mid-paced songs too, which are even more blatantly Discharge-inspired. Phosphore plays with the confidence of veterans, taking relatively simple riffs and selling the fuck out of them, their locked-in playing and clear vision shining through the slightly fuzzy, 80s-sounding recording. It would be easy to scoff at this, saying it’s been done before, but for me this recording feels exciting and alive with timeless hardcore punk energy.
