Uplifting, sultry hard rock from Tourves, France.

»#chaleurhumaine« released June 25, 2024 (Digital in August; CD & Vinyl in September) on BeerBearBoar Prod.

French mainstays and rock chameleons Poste 942 have been plying their trade in the heavy underground since 2010, and their latest album sees the five-piece continue to push forward their sound with no signs of slowing down. Released this June, »#chaleurhumaine« radiates its namesake warmth in Virginie D.’s soulful vocals and the pulsing, fuzzed-out riffs, all while maintaining a hard rock edge. Genres across the heavy spectrum are meshed with ease, and the crew are in full stride as masters of their craft on »#chaleurhumaine«.

In the band’s own words:

“We are a French rock band that’s existed since 2010, based in Tourves (Var 83). The Lambda Rock that comes out of Poste 942 is danced in the moonlight on the banks of the Caramy. It is drunk, it is eaten, it is smoked, it dissolves in nature.”

“Since 2010, after a demo, 2 EPs and 2 LPs, Poste 942 continues to play off of the beaten path. It’s fresh, it’s good, it’s raw, it’s gangster music! The people of Var are not like everyone else and we refuse to let themselves be boxed in by label or genre. We take up the spirit of foot-tapping rock with an energy and banter that are a pleasure to hear. A wonderful mix of genres in a style of music that perfectly suits our group’s state of mind: being peaceful in the countryside, having fun playing, making music videos with friends… The Saints Sangliers are back and are coming out of the woods soon to celebrate our more than 10 years of wild rock life.”

About the album:

“After a difficult time marked by social distancing, reconnecting with each other is a central theme of this album. The common thread that runs through all this is Virginie’s voice, singing in French about states of mind and personal stories. The album was released on June 25th in preview on our Bandcamp, and will release on all streaming platforms in August. CDs and Vinyls are in production and are scheduled for September.”
