PCT musique is an awesome little underground label with so many great music coming out right now. This time I listened and reviewed Monoxyde/Monsieur SAMOU split record for our zine.

Both bands gave 4 songs for this record so there are 8 songs in total here. Monsieur SAMOU are punkrock trio from France and they play old school melody punkrock just the way I love it. The vocals are rough, but sung and the guitar riffs are anthemic with awesome chorus like in Genevieve for example. Both bands sing in French, so I really can`t understand what they are singing about, but the music crosses the language borders and speaks for itself. Monsieur SAMOU songs have that streetpunk vibe that can be felt in the songs atmosphere and I just love such bands.
Monoxyde are from Canada and they play similar music to Monsieur SAMOU, only a bit harder and a bit rawer in my opinion on their side of the record. As I said, they also sing in French language so I can` t understand what they are singing about, but I love the music, the hardcore punk faster and more aggressive side of songs, the strong guitar riffs and a bit darkened atmosphere. But, still there is enough melody in the songs like in awesome Sans Sens Sur which is for me the best song on their side of the record. Great release, check it out!

Same As You are relatively young band from Montreal, Canada and they recently joined forces with PCT musique to release both of their ep-s. I listened and reviewed both of the records for our zine.

Every record contains 4 songs, so 8 in total. The music this band plays is melodic mid tempo energetic punkrock with interesting deeper vocals which really got into my ears and I love the vocals of this band. The melodies of the songs are awesome, I love the nostalgia that Seven Years somehow brought up in me, it almost reminds me of punkrock version of a doowop song and all the readers of this zine know how much I love doowop hehe. The songs have enough personality, enough energy and charm that not one of them gets boring while listening. I love the anthemic, emotional chorus of Promise Me that takes me back to the day of my punkrock youth.

The Lies we told record is a bit more rawer sounding, but still shows all the force this band provides with their melodies and song structures. I love the title track in all its melodic but enough raw punkrock splendour.
