![]() ![]() ![]() The themes can come from the desire to talk about specific subjects but in the end it's always the instrumental that conditions the lyrics so I hear it and say to myself: ok, the music makes me think about this subject. My English is quite basic I have a more rhythmic approach than a literary one. Marin: I have more of a hip hop musical culture so we create the instrumental first and the lyrics come afterwards. Before my gender transition, one of the questions that really rotted my life was "are you a girl or a boy" people can't stand not being able to put you in one of their boxes… We thought it would be funny to answer it by not expecting answers and to say we don’t have to answer if we don’t want to. ISO: At the beginning, the idea was to talk about those kinds of questions you don’t want to answer, like dumb questions that can be oppressive. Could you tell us a little bit more about the lyrics in this track? I really love the abrasive track ‘Shitty Questions’. We also thought it was a bit funny to call the album like that because the album is not quiet at all! ![]() It can also speak of our own silences, those inspired by fear and having not learned to speak out, which is its own violence. RDKT: We are talking about the silence renders many social problems invisible and allows some people to keep their privileges. Your debut album is titled ‘Silence is Violence’. We’re a queer and feminist band from Toulouse and we make riot post-punk noise music. Ĭan you tell us who you are, where you’re from and about the music you make? Go give them a listen and support their new music. Our interview with them gave some keen insights on political music, their songwriting process, and the simple joys of life. Self-described on Bandcamp as “Rrriot postpunk, queer and feminist”, currently comprised of Marion on the drums, Iso on guitar, and Marin on bass and bringing the vocals, they’re a Toulouse-based trio with all the energy and hype one needs to thrive in the postpunk world. ![]()
