Great four song banger from 1983 French rockers HATEFULS. First tune is classic snotty midtempo punk with a repetitive riff and and super catchy vocals, "Police Force" is a DISCHARGE worthy ripper, but with mystery in place of the anger (I know that sounds weak as shit, but I promise it works in their favor). "Fachist" over utilizes the single string guitar lick from "Peter Gunn," but somehow manages to win me over with the chorus...and the last tune takes it right back to killer moody punk rock. I've got their '84 demo that I'll put up soon as well, but meanwhile cut your teeth on these jams.

files re-zipped and re-loaded, with my most sincere apologies...let me know what you think - I listened to this shit 10+ times today and I love it.
when i get my coputer back from the shop i'll have to download this one
I don't think "Ancienne" is the demo title. Basically, "ancienne demo" stands for "older demo" in French... It might have been labelled like that by the time the 2nd demo came out or something?
ahhhh, touche! (with the little accent mark over the 'e' of course). this is indeed the 1983 demo, and it came on the B side of a tape with the 1984/85 demo called "Nouvelle."
And yeah, I can guess what 'nouvelle' means.
Do you know anything about this band, Luc?
They were from Le Havre but that's about all I know. I believe I have a couple of old zines with Hatefuls interviews/info – I'll try and dig them out soon.
re-upped
