La Fraction - La Fraction EP (1996)


La Fraction is a punk band that formed in Paris, France circa 1992. In 1996 they self-produced this 3 song EP. All proceeds of its sale went to the EZLN. There is a very lengthy message from Subcomandante Marcos (I wonder if that is him on the cover), but it is in French. I’d love to know what it says. I have included the full album art. This EP is also known as Guerre D'espérance, the title of the first song that translates to "War for Hope".

It's another classic punk 7 inch. Every song on here, especially the first one, has the quality of being an anthem. Bands that make anthems like this hold a special spot in my heart. Part of the charm for me is in the super distortion and great reverb. Who am I kidding? Magali’s fantastically catchy vocals are stealing the show.
La Fraction has released three albums, all of them superb, and all are still available for purchase on CD or LP.
