This first album is also the rawest of Les Garçons Bouchers's discography. As for the two following albums there is a drum machine doing the rhythm creating a unique sound together with the simple punk bass, the riffy guitar, the punk voice and the occasional horns thrown in the mix. The opening track, La Bière, soon became an audience's favourite and a great singalong. As for the rest of the album, there are a few punkified cover versions of know artists such as Viens (Charles Aznavour) or Marche de Ménilmontant (Maurice Chevalier) together with classics of their repertoire (Punkifiée, SKAGB, Fortes Têtes, etc...). Raw and cool! What are you waiting for? Oh, yes, there's plenty more to come!

TOME 2 (1988)

Tome 2, obviously, was their second album. Released about a year after their self-titled it shows a band evolving towards a more varied music (including a mock rap which became one of their better know song). Je Ne Regrette Rien is a cool cover of one of Edith Piaf's biggest hit while Rock'n Roll is a Gary Glitter cover with new lyrics by Mr Hadji-Lazaro. But that's not really the best on the album as it contains true classics of their repertoire: Carnivore, Toutes Des Putes Sauf..., Anthropophage, Chambre Froide, or the souvenir song of their first ever Tour of Quebec (based on a children song) La Bastringue. In my humble opinion their best album!
