Jaune Toujours
Brusk (Wild Boar, Belgium)
$17.99
The band says of itself:
"BRUSK: friday the 14th of april 2000, Jaune Toujours presented its first full album BRUSK in a more than filled concert-hall at La Tentations in Brussels. The CD was recorded at the Brussels Jetstudios, appeared on the label Wildboar/Alea and was published by Choux de Bruxelles (Jaune Toujours administrative structure). "BRUSK" regularly takes the capital as its point of view, writing about the frantic activity in the city and the people you can meet over there, but also more socially committed with references to the expulsions of asylum seekers and the racial riots in Kuregem, Anderlecht (Brussels). The songs are alternated with small but solid instrumental works, carrying on the power of the energetic horn section."
Brusk' was voted by the editors of FolkWorld as best album of 2000.

Jaune Toujours are a kickass roots band who hail from Brussels and play their own distinctive form of wild, weird, brassy folk-punk. Had Joe Strummer swapped his guitar for an accordeon, had Shane Mc Gowan imbibed vast quantities of Belgium wheat beer instead of vast quantities of... whatever it is he knocks back, had Mano Negra or Les Negresses Vertes hailed from Brussels, well they might all have sounded a bit like this. JT leader Piet Maris has a raw declamatory style reminiscent of the above named, although at the same time very much his own. He can belt it out on the fast tracks... or get down 'n' dirty ... He also plays the hell out of the accordeon, pumping the instrument into new heights of grit and frenzy. Add to this a kicking horn section.... and you have one hell of a band. - Jamie Renton in fROOTS magazine, aug/sept 2002: |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
