2008, Acute Records
After years of forging their seminal synth-punk sound in the late '70s and receiving critical yet little financial success, Paris's METAL URBAIN had no choice but to re-group and, with the addition of a female vocalist, take their processed electronics aesthetic even further as the METAL BOYS. Their mash-up of sounds and styles makes them difficult to pigeonhole, but punk, rockabilly, dub, industrial, Gainesbourgesque song, and new wave all appear. The Metal Boys created one of the greatest synth-pop experiments of the time, but until now few have been able to hear their long out-of-print avant-electro. Acute Records is proud to present for the first time ever their only LP, 'Tokio Airport,' plus nine previously unreleased tracks.
