Metal Urbain

MU made some great innovative records in the late 70s but were largely ignored by the English music press as they were French. They were ahead of their time methinks - check this clip out. I never found out anything about what they were singing about but it sounded good anyway - I hear the odd word like anarchy and subversion popping up so that'll do me - I wish I could see them live - their Mypace linked above has some of their new recordings which I think are produced by Jello Biafra and their tour dates - unfortunately Dublin is as near as they get to the UK - do they have something against us?
