Vincent (Faux Depart)

SPB: Which records do you consider essential for the development of Faux Depart's music?

Vincent: Well, we're big music nerds but if I have to name 3 albums that are key influences in our music, I'd say WIPERS "Is this real", WIRE "pink flag" and FEELIES "crazy rhythms."

They all have both punk and indie vibes.There's a lot of variety in those album too; they're full of energy and melodic at the same time.

Those are classics, but we listen to modern DIY/Indie music too and recent records like CONEHEADS "LP.1" and URANIUM CLUB "all of them natural" brought us together at first. They're hectic and playful; they drives us nuts. The MARKED MEN too: "On the outside"
is cool,  even if not so modern.

We love international punk too, I'm huge early Finnish punk lover (RATSIA,KOLLAA KESTÄÄ...), they have that Ramones beat that makes the world better; records like ABWARTS "Computerstaat" too, it's nervous and full of ideas.
