I'd like to recommend you a truly cool and promising band from France : HUNGRY JOHNNY.
They play total Thrash Metal influenced by bands from the 80's such as EXODUS, SLAYER, DARK ANGEL, NUCLEAR ASSAULT etc... yet including few modern elements and dealing with a certain sens of humour and second degree in their attitude / lyrics / image (similar to TANKARD when it comes to the fun spirit, to give you an idea).
you can listen the 5 tracks of their debut demo "depraved at birth" on their myspace page : www.myspace.com/hungryjohnny
Promoters, zines & web zines, labels : if you are itnerested by this band, don't hesitate to contact & support them !
