FRUSTRATION / NOWAVES / PINOREKS

In the organizer's words:

Frustration is the flawless journey of the wild children of French rock: from the moving beginnings within the aptly named Happy Family - the clique of DIY rockers who gathered around the Parisian record store Born Bad - to the band's progressive anchoring in the world of French rock and European underground punk, from the beginning of the 2010s to the band's mutation into a true unifying force of all the tribes of rock'n'roll. The band has written one of the most beautiful chapters of the French rock language and has become its most emblematic actor.

However, the members of Frustration have never strayed from their integrity and modesty, which has always been the group's charm. They have never stopped exploring the depths of the human soul, depression and madness. The band provides proof that punk rock sometimes knows how to mature and grow up. Across six albums, all of them essential, Frustration have explored all the niches of cold-wave, post-punk and British punk and have not hesitated to venture into dark-wave and gothic-industrial.

The perfect balance between the singer's haunting voice (Fabrice), the furious and recognizable guitar playing (Nicus), the bass that is as swirling as its master (Pat), the millimetre-perfect tempo (Marc), the again shrill, aggressive synthesizer (Fred) - reflects the symbiosis and lasting friendship that exists within the group. The experience speaks for itself.
