After a start like RAISED FIST, SHUTDOWN or MISCONDUCT, they made moved their super oldschool HC, powerful and energetic, worms of the tricks like CARRY ON, CHAMPION, BETRAYED, WHERE FEAR AND WEAPONS MEETS… they have already several discs (demo, split, mcd, album). One of the best band of the style, in France, and can be even in Europe! They make sometimes cover of SOIA, GORILLA BISCUIT or COMEBACK KIDS. These guy organise some HC show in their city.

NINE ELEVEN, band from Tours, born from ashes of NO TIME TOO LOSE. They have a very personal and innovative style. Very modern HC oldschool, where the band privileges the melody and the intensity.

They have a MCD, a 3xway Split CD, and a very new album, which seems slightly harder. They also manage the FreeEdge festival (and label of the same name).
