PUP: ‘I’ve probably trashed a hundred songs over the past 10 years’
(c) Jess Baumung EN: PUP is one of the best bands of the entire 2010s. And as evidenced by the excellent “This Place Sucks Ass“, the group will also leave its mark on the current decade. His music has a strong generational aspect, it reminds me of my years in college, eternal partie
Mini Skirt: ‘Big cock rock’n’roll is dead’
EN: Mini Skirt is an iconic band in the making. In 2020, he released Casino, a flamboyant LP at the crossroads between post-skate and punk for angry people. “Tissue” remains the best post-pandemic song. So, I wanted to ask its leader a few questions. We ended up talking about cancel cult
Memes: ‘We’ve started describing ourselves as laptop rock’
EN: Super happy to have interviewed MEMES. We talked about “laptop rock”, post-skate music and the English scene. The band seems to have a great story behind each song. He recommends a movie and made a 30 songs playlist for us. John, thank you very much! FR: Super heureux d’avoir i
Vintage Crop: ‘One more serious album before we start making stadium rock’
EN: Vintage Crop is, in my opinion, one of the 10 best bands today. Originally from Melbourne, everything he touches turns into a “post-skate” miracle. Our discussion logically revolved around this Australian music, the “bogan” culture, slackers, and so on. The band also prep
Legless Records: “Get on with it”
EN: As you may know, I published the 2020 rankings last December. I sent them to the bands and labels, and ventured to propose some interviews. Caught in the moment, I forgot that Arron Mawson, Legless Records’ creator, was also part of Stiff Richards. So, rather than combining everything in one i
Stiff Richards: ‘Punk music should always have a fuck you element’

Bee Bee Sea: ‘I miss the wild garage fun’
EN: Bee Bee Sea are my best friends, I simply didn’t know it yet. Not only do they play the best Italian music of the last few years, but they also love slacker, power pop, the garage scene of the early 2010s, and the new post-skate one. Yeah, Bee Bee Sea and I are in […]
The Sueves: ‘The world doesn’t need any more songs about cheap beer and pizza’
EN: The Sueves is the band that I chose to honor in my article dealing with the death of garage rock, because it gives me hope – more than others – as it produces the world’s best garage. Originally from Chicago, The Sueves is a cult band in the making. And it doesn’t intend to [&hel
Interview with Personality Cult: ‘Anyone reading this who isn’t in a band should start one’
Ben Carr is the leader of Personality Cult, a band from North Carolina that released one of the best albums of the year. His music borrows from the post-skate and post-2001 scenes. It’s punk and always wrapped in pop melodies. There’s also that guitar that reminds me
Interview with Aborted Tortoise: ‘we’re actually proto-skate’
It’s no secret to any Still in Rock reader that Aborted Tortoise is one of the leaders of the post-skate scene, a band from Perth (Australia) leading the dance along with a few others. But it doesn’t really see it that way. Super humble and ‘in the moment’, A.T. doe
