Flying Over + X-Ray Harpoons

“All right! France’s Flying Over is definitely a Now Wave kind of band!Falling somewhere in between straight-up retro ’77 and Killed By Death Euro-punk, Flying Over throws it back to the days when the likes of TV Killers and Gasolheads ruled the French punk scene. Boasting fantastic names (Jet Boy, Jet Girl, Gun Boy, Hero Boy) and unassailable influences (Saints, Sex Pistols, Kids, Vibrators), these Frenchie punk n’ rollers could very well induce a worldwide revival of pogo dancing.’Danger Boy’ and ‘Fier De Deplaire’ burn fast and furious – the former sparked by a call-and-response exchange between Jet Boy and his wife Jet Girl, the latter sung in French and bringing to mind the early Stitches.’I Wanna Destroy You’ eases back the speed a tad and snarls in a classic Pistols style. It also kind of reminds me of ‘Cherry Bomb’ by The Runaways – which can only be a good thing. This is a band to check out!”
