Syndrome 81 Is Further Proof That Oi Influenced French Punk Is Très Magnifique

The Brest band's side of a new split with Malmö’s Urban Savage provides solid and hooky oi punk.

French punks Syndrome 81 have previewed their side of a split EP with Malmö's Urban Savage to be released through Offside Records and Savage Records.

Hailing from Brest, a Brittany harbour city known for crepes and cider, Syndrome 81 are a bunch of hardcore punks who play with a strong oi feel. Similar in vein to Camera Silens or current faves Rixe, they started out a recording project with the aim to sound something like the oi influenced punk n' roll of Criminal Damage. They've since released a self-titled demo, the Désert Urbain EP and a 7' single, but this split with the Swedes could be their best yet.

There is also talk of them recording a full album. In the meantime shine your boots and enjoy "N'Oublie Jamais" and "Le Condor de la Rade"

Syndrome 81/ Urban Savage split is available through Offside Records and Savage Records.
