"I really like the EP these folx put out a few months back and am stoked to get to throw in my two cents about this red anarchist skinhead band from France. Mid-tempo yet quite catchy Oi! with traces of second wave (a la Two Tone) ska thrown in for good measure. Lotsa sing along choruses, accompanying songs singing the praises of left wing working class struggles world wide. Really good stuff in my book and this shit beats all that "apolitical" and "traditional" Oi! stuff any day of the week. Take a fucking stand for christ's sake! Red and Black on the attack!" (MT)

"This is a french red (Syndicalist) band, of course on the leading label of this genre; Insurgence Records. What hits me first when i listened to is that this is probably the first time i´ve heard french Oi! without having dreams of killing the vocalists. These guys are good musicians so whatever politics you may have under your cropped hair you will enjoy this. Everything from really hardhitting Oi! tracks to Ska songs can be found on this record and i´m having a VERY hard time finding ANY song that was weak ... Some slower tracks can be found, there are some kind of ballads but on the other hand, very well played and professional. Brigada Flores Magon kicks any right wing / RAC bands ass both in sounding brutal and angry. The war sampling in the beginning of 'conscrits' probably make the nazis shit their pants. no hippie 'anti-militarism' shit here. When it´s Oi! they Oi! you out. The brutal vocalist makes Ian Stuart or any other RAC vocalist to white power asshole sound like a scared fuckin rabbit. And when they take to the Ska your feet get dancing.
Whatever politics you have you should buy this record, because it is one of the best skinhead releases around. They are more brutal then most stuff out there, and they still have the classic catchy / brutal Oi! sound without going too hardcore."
