"When the Nihilist Spasm Band's first album was released in 1968, no other band in the world recorded such a racket. For these Canadians, who had been practicing for three years in their London (Ontario) rehearsal room, the motto seemed to be to indulge in spontaneous sound creation, thus justifying the abolition of all limits in the de'bride's performances they organized every Monday night. Enjoying noise without hindrance turned out to be their only creed. The result is a sense of urgency that can escape them: it doesn't matter, that's the point - the playfulness of it is not the least of it. In march 2017, Nihilist Spasm Band performs in France for the Sonic Protest festival. After a short residency at the Villa Arson (national art school of Nice), they gave the first concert of their tour, an unbridled and poetic performance carefully captured and transcribed here."
