This sampler includes four French bands, two from the South and two from the North West of the country, the Celtic area (Brittany).


1) Zapo

This band comes from the South West of France and they sing in several languages (French, Basque, Spanish and even English).

The band was founded after having seen a gig of the Spanish band Celtas cortos. At the begginning, the name was Zapozain (the man who takes care of the toads, in Basque), but when they released their third album, they changed to Zapo (toad).

One song comes from the debut album, another one for the second album, another one from the third album and six from the last one (released in 2008)

Demo (2005)

Outtakes:

Celtic Hangover

www.celtichangover.com

A band fronted by an Irishman. They have released 6 albums and one DVD. Some of the early albums are no longer available. A new album will be released this year.

Soldat Louis

www.soldatlouis.com

A band from Nantes, a town that historically was Brittany (Today it belongs to Loire Atlantique). Rock from Brittany, the first albums were interesting (Première Bordée, Pavillon Noir, Auprès de ma Bande) Escale sur la Planète was disappointing.

Shane MacGowan was a guest in one of their albums.

Black Label Zone

http://membres.lycos.fr/sambat

This band from Brittany released two excellent instrumental albums (Toufed Vil, Pot Velu), but the third one, with a singer and some line-up changes, Kilt ou Double, was really bad.
