Full transparency now to hopefully help this reach precisely the right listeners. JAMAIS ASSEZ is a Celtic punk-rock anthem, with a heavy bagpipe riff, an all-together-now indie chant for a hook, and an underlying global message that’s imperative to consider right now.
DIGRESK are the band, an extensive ensemble from France, united in their passion for fun and music carefully intertwined. The resulting sound feels something like metal and bagpipes on occasion, alt-folk at other times, and during those vocal refrains, there’s a slight hint of something like Bloodhound Gang.
Despite its attention grabbing aesthetic and vibe, JAMAIS ASSEZ is not without purpose – quite the contrary, in fact. The track describes society’s overwhelming issue of failing to acknowledge the impending climate emergency. So this is punk-rock with a creative edge, but also maintaining the essence of rebellion and meaning that once was the beating heart of alternative music. It’s a hugely important topic, and DIGRESK are a band on a mission to address it, which makes this track all the more of an indie gem.
From the Celtic vibes of an instrumental groove, to the catchy, snappy call-out of a male punk-rock choir boldly directing your attention towards the climate crisis – JAMAIS ASSEZ marches to the beat of its own drum, and in doing so, it ticks a hell of a lot of boxes.
