This is the story of a degenerate incarnation of trashy garage punk, featuring members
of Fiction Romance, Jungle Fever, Hors Service, Haine Brigade, and Sourire Kabyle,
leading bands on the French underground scene<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2017, severely shaken by the demons of rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, the four protagonists were
invested with a mission: to form a new squad in the service of the God of Trash! Thee
Gunlocks was born, with a single credo: \u201cplay it LOUD baby\u201d!!!!!!!
Concerts quickly followed one after another throughout France. In 2018, in just four days,
the band found time to record six tracks in analog in Marseille with Rudy Namite (member
of La Flingue and Aggravation, among others). These six tracks were released the
following year on a vinyl EP simply titled: Thee Gunlocks HATE YOU!! This first release was
made possible by the labels Stryckhnine Records, Pigm\u00e9 Records, and TAWA Records,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few months later, after several exciting opening shows with Peter and the Test Tube
Babies, The Jackets, Vibrators, The Cavemen, etc., Covid struck, cutting short the
momentum of a band on a roll, which was preparing to invade Germany on a 15-date
blitzkrieg tour.
Damn!!! After a night fueled by napalm and invoking the gods of trash rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, the
band decided to get back to work immediately on a new album. With their picks sharper
than ever, the four returned to Rudy Namite’s studio in Marseille in July 2020. The result:
eight vicious compositions that exude urgency and savagery.
The musical equivalent of hordes of Huns galloping across the steppe with sabers drawn.
Having decided to give free rein to their baser instincts, French labels Adr\u00e9naline Fix
RECORDS, Pigm\u00e9 RECORDS, Stryckhnine Records, and Spanish label Sweet Groove
RECORDS released this vinyl LP in December 2021.
The title: Thee Gunlocks MESSED IT UP<\/p>\n\n\n\n
attracted by the smell of sulfur!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
