Who ever said that France is full of pussies? I'm sure they'd revise their opinion if they heard the relentless riffs and heavy hits of Plebeian Grandstand. Brought to you all the way from Toulouse, France, these fellows sure know how to do heavy music right. Since the band's formation in 2005, they've released a six-song EP titled The Vultures Riot and a full-length, How Hate is Hard to Define, both on Lacrymal Records. Recently, they released a split with NY band, Divider, and Idaho sludge-kings, Bone Dance on Throat Ruiner Records, which is one of my favorite releases of the year. They have an awesome sound, with elements of sludge, mathy hardcore, and even a little bit of black metal here and there.
