FLYING OVER - Same 7'
The cover has a sort of EPOXIES feel to it. Wow!!! This is 77' old school punk rock in a mid-tempo, catchy, but not wimpy style. The Frenchies know their history when it comes to punk rock. They know that punk is simple, straightforward, not meant to be complicated. Heavily influenced by the TV KILLERS, SEX PISTOLES and KBD bands. They actually were on the P.Trash Killed By Trash Vol.1 compilation! 3 songs, clear vinyl.

This French band seems to have delt with quite a few line-up changes, which is once more the case since they have relocated from La Rochelle to join the wild Rock & Roll nightlife in Bordeaux. Their 'Rockin' Frenchies' we bought a few years ago sounded like early RIP OFF bands with at times a shot of DWARVES and this is the first time we hear 'em again. 'Danger Boy' and 'Fier de déplaire' are two fast and tigght punk tracks that are heavily influenced by those other 'Fuckin' Frenchies', the TV KILLERS, who blasted around Europe in the late '90s. 'I wanna destroy you' on the flip is a total '77 stomper that reminds a good deal of the SEX PISTOLS, without the cockney accent! For sure a cool release for all you punk lovers out there!
P.TRASH RECORDS (DE)
Thick snotty punk rock from France with bad ass panty-wettin' leads, catchy riffs, solid production and Keith Morris-meets-the-dude-from-the-Dickies vocals in both English and French. Piss off your parents in multiple languages with one record!
WALLRIDE RECORDS
Le groupe bordelais sous perfusion TV Killers (de la pochette aux covers comme 'Do You Love The Nazis?' des Kids, jusqu'au titre de leur premier album de 2004, Rockin'Frenchies) revient sur le front avec un tout nouveau line-up autour du couple Jet Boy - Jet Girl, Gun Boy à la batterie, Lichen Boy (ex-Jakes, Hero-X) à la basse et Law Boy (Heartbeeps et dernier guitariste en date des TV's). Evidemment vous vous doutez bien qu'ils ne tapent pas dans la disco hein, c'est du punk rock tendu et nerveux. Les trois tites de ce 45t édités par le label d'Annecy Shit In Can explore l'univers sale du groupe avec notamment un 'Fier de Déplaire' en Français et un excellent mid-tempo en face B, 'I Wanna Destroy You' (pas celui des Soft Boys). Un bel envol même s'ils ont un peu de mal à se démarquer de leur(s) influence(s).

This is the type of record that you instantly want because of how it looks…plus it features the vocalist from the TV KILLERS so you know what to expect: a snotty and fast-paced blend of the classic '77 style but with a chaotic garage Rip Off-style edge. This is totally my bag…full of European style and attitude, three cuts, all killer and on clear wax. It's got the viciousness of the SEX PISTOLS with the rhythm and melody of TEENAGE HEAD...what a mix!! I highly recommend this and there's only 500 so get a copy now.

3 temas de punk rock de altura provenientes de Francia. País donde el número de grupos y cositas trotantes nos da un par de patadas al vuelo. Flyng Over es un grupo de energía, buenas melodías y electricidad que puede traer a la cabeza a originarios como Buzzcocks, Adverts … y otros más actuales como New Bomb Turks. Además seguro que esto en directo se lo montan bien y la lían de arriba a bajo.

Astreiner 77-Garagenpunk mit flotter Rocknrollnote, haben viel the Kids, Saints & Stooges gehört und transportieren das mit diesem speziell-französischen Einschlag (a la hatepinks) ziemlich frisch ins Jahr 2008. Female & Male voices mal auf Englisch, mal auf Französisch. 3-Track EP mit coolem Cover und auf kristallklarem Vinyl, 500 Copies

Flying Over has been at it since 1996, and I can't believe this is thier first 7'. It's a good one! Falling somewhere in between straight-up retro '77 and Killed By Death Euro-punk, Flying Over throws it back to the days when the likes of TV Killers and Spash Four ruled the French punk scene. Boasting fantastic names (Jet Boy, Jet Girl, Gun Boy, Hero Boy) and unassailable influences (Saints, Sex Pistols, Kids, Vibrators), these Frenchie tock n' rollers could very well induce a worldwide revival of pogo dancing. A-side cuts 'Danger Boy' and 'Fier De Deplaire' burn fast and furious - the former sparked by a call-and-response exchange between Jet Boy and his wife Jet Girl, the latter sung in French and bringing to mind the early Stitches. On the B-side, 'I Wanna Destroy You' eases back the speed a tad and snarls in a classic Pistols style. It also kind of reminds me of 'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways - which can only be a good thing!
DEAD BEAT RECORDS (USA)

Os Flying Over são uma formação já com dez anos, com poucos registos e muitas mudanças, agora sediados em La Rochelle (Bordéus - França) onde existe um marcante e forte movimento de garage-punk, estando isso bem demonstrado neste 7', que para além de muito competente não soa a nada que não tenhamos já escutado, destacando-se 'Fier de Deplaire', que é muito aconselhável.
ROCK AROUND THE BLOG (P)
Un groupe qui évolue depuis quelques années entre Bordeaux et La Rochelle avec notamment un ancien Tv Killers mais qui a vu passer également pas mal de monde qui ont joué dans d'autres groupes punk garage dont la région regorge (4teen Killers, 80's Furies, Sexy girls and Go-Go Men Show, Jerky Turkey, Jakes, Hero X). Les trois morceaux sont super bien et sonnent dans la tradition des Tv Killers avec un petit coté No talents pour les choeurs féminins sur les deux chansons en anglais. Il y a aussi la chanson typique 77 en français «Fier de déplaire» façon Dominique Laboubé en plus viril. Bref un bon disque de punk rock pour les amateurs de French Touch et, comme le vinyle est transparent, et bah on voit à travers. M.

Hey, I think I found the French equivalent to The Stitches. It's well-played, basic punk rock with sinus-infection snottiness and one monitor borrowed directly from the Sex Pistols. Not as spitfire jagged as The No Talents, nor as bouncy-catchy as The Hatepinks, but competent. –Todd Taylor....

Auf durchsichtigem Vinyl gibt's hier dreimal klassischen 77er Punkrock des Ehepaares Jet Boy und Jet Girl (haha, wie originell ...), der sich nicht vor ihren Landsmännern und Brüdern im Geiste T.V. KILLERS, HATEPINKS und NEUROTIC SWINGERS zu verstecken braucht, aber auch (noch) nicht ganz an die Klasse dieser Bands heranreicht. Ein Song ist sogar en français (6) (Finn Quedens)....

Flying Over : Danger Boy 7' (Frantic City/Shit In Can/Adrenalin Fix)
The a-side sports two rad fast punk/rock'n'rollers not unlike The Stitches or TV Killers with a touch of those Rip Off bands, while the flip 'I Wanna Destroy You!' is a great midtempo snotfest. Nothing you haven't heard before, but this shit is solid as Lee Marvin kickin' butt in a Noir flick. Flying Over has been around for 10 years and have previously released the 'Rockin' Frenchies' album including an Infections cover!
Clear vinyl limited to 500 copies. If you dig: Stitches, TV Killers (Jens)....

I haven't even listened to this one yet and I can just tell I'm going to like it. (It's a good thing after what that fucker LAZLO did to me.) The cover has a sort of EPOXIES feel to it. Let's check it out. Wow. This is old school punk rock in a mid-tempo, catchy, but not wimpy style. The Frenchies know their history when it comes to punk rock. They know that punk is simple, straightforward, not meant to be complicated. All three tracks are quality, just like I knew they would be. (KK)....

Ils ont eu le bassiste des TV Killers comme CPE au Lycée et maintenant on voit le resultat: du Frenchie Rock'n'Roll dans la lignée des Hero-X, Gasolheads, Pneumonias et bien sûr TV Killers! Cette petite pièce de vinyle ( mise en boîte au fameux studio du Chalet près de Bordeaux) crépite de références retro punk. Un groupe dont on devrait entendre de plus en plus parler maintenant qu'ils ont abandonné la Charente Maritime pour écumer les rades les plus infréquentables de la capitale girondine. (Gwardeath)....

All right! France's Flying Over is definitely a Now Wave kind of band! The group has been at it since 1996, and put out a CD back in '04. But I believe this is its first 7'. It's a good one! Falling somewhere in between straight-up retro '77 and Killed By Death Euro-punk, Flying Over throws it back to the days when the likes of TV Killers and Gasolheads ruled the French punk scene. Boasting fantastic names (Jet Boy, Jet Girl, Gun Boy, Hero Boy) and unassailable influences (Saints, Sex Pistols, Kids, Vibrators), these Frenchie punk n' rollers could very well induce a worldwide revival of pogo dancing. A-side cuts 'Danger Boy' and 'Fier De Deplaire' burn fast and furious - the former sparked by a call-and-response exchange between Jet Boy and his wife Jet Girl, the latter sung in French and bringing to mind the early Stitches. On the B-side, 'I Wanna Destroy You' eases back the speed a tad and snarls in a classic Pistols style. It also kind of reminds me of 'Cherry Bomb' by The Runaways - which can only be a good thing! So there you have it, ladies and gentlemen: Flying Over does old style punk right. Now Wave Nation, this is a band to check out!....

More Frenchie garage-punk who I recall appearing on the P.Trash KBD covers comp, these Flying Over boys and girls play a hopped-up Nineties-style sort of thing, like the TV Killers after some doses of HGH perhaps. 'Danger Boy' will please fans of Jerry Spider Gang or Gasolheads, if such things exist. 'Fier De Deplaire' is a nice cut, and the singer sounds a lot more comfortable in his native tongue. 'I Wanna Destory You' is not a cover, thank God, but a mid-tempo blue collar punker. Not a real memorable record. It did do me the favor of sending me off on a Soft Boys kick for the rest of the evening however. Scum stats: 500 copies, clear vinyl, three label split release (the Frantic City, Shit in Can and Adrenalin Fix labels all pooled resources on this one...with Shit In Can obviously having the far superior name. And hey, Adrenalin Fix was the title of a TV Killers record, making this review come full circle and allowing me stop typing...)(RK)....
