RIXE - Tir Groupé

 



1. Who are RIXE?

RIXE are a street punk band that combine the sound of Oi with post-punk. They come from Paris, France, and have been making music together since 2014. Tir Groupé (Aug, 2024) is the lead single from their E.P of the same name Tir Groupé (Aug, 2024).  


2. What kind of song is Tir Groupé

Tir Groupé is the sound of an old car full of young men being driven as fast as it will go down an empty highway. There aren't any highs or lows. It kicks off to a gunshot and goes flat out to the end. It grows on you with time and the drum machine adds an odd endearing quality. 


3. Which bands do RIXE sound like? 

Blitz, Syndrome 81, Camera Silens, and Béton Armé. 


4. Which bands have influenced RIXE? 

They say French Oi from the 80's and others hear a lot of the Italian band Nabat. 


5. What have the cut and paste bandits said about Tir Groupé

"A stark, icy street-punk singalong with a drum-machine beat and a warlike sense of melody" - Stereogum

"Fuckwave, OI! and pop music as infectious as their previous four Eps" - Bandcamp.

"A clash between the band’s aggressive street-punk edge and their knack for melody" - Add To Want List.
