PNEU & RECIPROCATE

PNEU • www.pneu.bandcamp.com

PNEU are a French duo from Tours who’ve been flipping rock on its head since 2006, channeling its energy into three albums, several splits, and hundreds of joyous, high-octane shows across the USA, Japan and beyond. Their fourth album Get Old Or Die Tryin’ pushes further into blast beats, electronic treatments and breathless, inventive twists—still rooted in punk/hardcore drive but more disorienting, playful and explosive than ever. Alongside their many adventurous projects (Tachycardie, Franky Goes to Pointe à Pitre, La Colonie de Vacances and more), PNEU continue to evolve with disarming enthusiasm, delivering music that’s as jubilant as it is unpredictable.

RECIPROCATE • www.romacpuncturerepairs.bandcamp.com/album/soul-to-burn

Reciprocate make avant-soul spray music for people who like their tenderness loud. Since 2018, they’ve taken quiet, heart-worn soul ballads and blown them wide open into rock’n’roll storms - equal parts touch-and-feel, joyous noise, and on-the-spot invention. Their records Yeah Well (2020) and Soul To Burn (2023), both out on Gringo Records, fabulously capture the songs on which the live show expand: elastic, impulsive, never the same twice.

With a third LP approaching and tours across the UK, France, and Spain behind them, Reciprocate remain a trio ruled by instinct—chasing expression, surrendering to improvisation, and letting each gig erupt in its own direction.

Stef Kett (vocals & guitar), Henri Grimes (drums), Marion Andrau (bass) - between them they are former and current members of Shield Your Eyes, Big Lad, Abigail Snail & The Wharves.
