Kool-Aid is a garage punk trio from Bordeaux, France, featuring Rémi Tourneur (guitar, vocals), Romain Mayraud (bass, vocals) and Emma Savarzeix (drums). Their first studio album Straight Up is a loud and noisy one, full of variety and madness. We get ten lo-fi songs with vocals that alternately allure, grind or scream, behind a wall of heavy guitars that disappears into the rising mist. However, those who can listen through that, will hear electrifying rhythms, clever hooks and catchy la-la-la choruses. One of the standout tracks is called Chaos is Coming and that is basically what you can expect here, but it is extremely entertaining chaos.

Straight Up is out now digitally and on CD through Flippin’ Freaks Records.
