What a delightful little punk gem Parabellum is! Born in the 80s in Paris and signed to the 3rd historical label of the French 80s alternative rock scene, Gougnaf Mouvement, lead by singer/guitarist Schultz (also a founding member of Los Carayos), Parabellum were the perfect answer to late 70s English punk: they rocked just as well while still having that twist of "frenchless" which lead them to cover the anarchist prison song "Cayenne," re-write, in a punk fashion, the lyrics of Jacques Brel's legendary "Amsterdam" or cover the theme of a talking duck TV-children show "Saturnin".
Parabellum also had its share of classics of their own writing (La bombe et moi, Welcome to Paradise, Osmose 99, Anarchie en Chiraquie) which easily compete with the afformentioned covers, they just rocked!
This 21 songs compilation in fact is the whole of the band's recordings for Gougnaf. They were taken from their 2 multi-artists compilations, their 4 7", their 12" and their mini-lp recorded from 1984 to 1988 for the Parasian anarcho-punk faction.
The closest comparison I could do of Parabellum is telling you they were kind of like a rockier Sex Pistols fronted by a French Joe Strummer with a slice of humour and a solid French litterature background.
So okay now, you know just what you have to do to get a taste of the one and only PARABELLEMUM. Enjoy.
