Ogres De Barback, Les - Rue De Temps (LP)

In 1997, this self-produced album, financed by subscription, was the first record in the Ogres' garden. Fittingly, its release was celebrated by a Parisian tour of... bars, culminating in a grand finale at a packed Caf de la Danse. Displaying what they describe as a punk mindset - basically, always go for it, no questions asked - the Ogres went on to release one album after another, and never left the road, meeting a public that was growing by word of mouth with a rare fervour.
