Bérurier Noir

French punk band from Paris who became very popular in the 1980s. They were formed around the nucleus of singer [url=https://www.discogs.com/artist/692776-Fran%C3%A7ois-3]François Guillemot[/url] (who will later become a researcher at the French National Center for Scientific Research as a specialist of Vietnam), and guitarist [a=Laurent Katracazos]. Using a minimalist set-up, a rhythm machine, a guitar, vocals, and later a saxophone, they brought committed anti-fascist and anti-racist lyrics and strived for remaining independent at all costs. They disbanded in 1989, but reformed shortly in the 2000s. BN have sold thousands of records, and their albums are still being repressed regularly.
