"A deformed creature born from the depths of a late-night Parisian haze, half kamikaze, half blood drunk bat"
The artful disorder, wicked delirium of "Never Guess" by Parisian indie rock / alt punk trio MONT LOSER, and from their upcoming debut album "Confessional" (dropping early 2026), feels sunbaked in a kind of choppy discordant punk / proto punk way that allows you to get so lost in the sound that the ills of life, the uncontrollable monsters peel away. Call it subversive, call it simply badass, I am loving the full throttle haze, noise, screaming guitars and shouty vocals that (to me) sort of feels like an amalgam of artists like Pixies, The Jesus And Mary Chain, Drive Like Jehu in their most frenzied state. MONT LOSER is the kind of band that I want to hear live and in close quarters, you know the kind of venue I am talking about.
LINER NOTES (excerpted / bracketed)
[MONT LOSER's debut album is titled Confessional and is scheduled for release in early 2026. The album's first single, "Never Guess," was released in October 2025 and is available on major streaming.]
[A deformed creature born from the depths of a late-night Parisian haze, half kamikaze, half blood drunk bat: MONT LOSER invites you to dive headfirst into the void of a rock scene that always seems to rise from its ashes, when we sometimes wish it would stay dead.]
[Frenzied and paranoid, the band's debut album Confessional recorded by Jacky Cadiou (Syndrome 81) is a true collection of riotous love songs: chaos within reach, the kind that makes you want to follow them straight into their own beautiful destruction.]

Finally, a band that lives up to its name.

Moving forward as if the outside world didn't exist, the Parisian trio staggers away from the flocks of retro-flavoured, nostalgia-marketed bands with some sort of drunken grace.
MONT LOSER scooped up some grunge, noise rock, goth and industrial dregs to shake up a deliciously unruly bottom shelf cocktail. Chicago, Seattle, Belleville? 1980, 1991 or 2025? The time machine’s broken, the phone screens are cracked and the curtains drawn. Nothing more logical for a band born out of a post-COVID afterparty.
Two dissonant guitars constantly at war, drums swinging between punk precision and post-hardcore violence, all carried by three voices merging into one chaotic choir.
