The No-Talents

…Want Some More

Estrus

This band’s name couldn’t be further from the truth. You’ve got to have a talent for more than music to make the punk rock like Cecilia, Lili, Marc, and Iwan. These thirteen tracks are made from the real old-style ingredients: Ramones, Dead Boys, X-Ray Spex. Songs like “Bad Story…Bad Movie,” “Doll Fight,” and “Sick in the Head” are dangerous to breakables around the house. This stuff is straight-ahead, no-frills punque, and the best French export since fizzy wine.
