C’était un jour dans l’air du temps,
Dans la rue face au printemps,
Quand sur les murs en Angleterre
On crucifiait tous ces enfants,
Tous ces gosses venus d’ailleurs,
Là de Kingston et sur la zone,
Quand le soleil s’est levé
En noir et blanc sur les pavés.
Born in a crisis
During the seventies,
Rioters in the streets,
We heard your voices.
On entendait venir de Londres,
De Belfast rouge sous les bombes,
Quand sur Brixton, théâtre de guerre,
Thatcher voulait les voir tous morts,
À Railton dans les ghettos,
Cette nuit au poste, à la radio,
Quand le soleil s’est couché,
Le sang coulait sur les pavés.
Refrain
C’était un jour dans l’air du temps,
Tout comme quand on avait 15 ans,
Quand on traînait mains dans les poches,
Comme ça putain en attendant
Sur les places, à Pey-Berland,
Dans les squares, au parlement,
Et quand le soleil s’est levé,
Sur les pavés on entendait.

I saw tons of great bands in the 80s at places like The Mabhuy Gardens, Thw Farm, and Gilman Street Project.
Those bands had a sound and feeling that's hard to sum up--- they were Lo-Fi even thougb many were accomplished musicians,they were raw and crucial and provided a soundtrack for pissed off yourh who WERE going to be heard whether the system liked it or not----- sneak into the back entrance or kick in the door----- it didnt matter which.
Condor sounds snd feels like some of the great 80s hardcore and punk bands that shaped the Punk/ Hardcore landscape of today.
im not surprised-- this is a one man operation from the drummer of Rixe If you are into French Punk and Oi it is CRIMINAL not tp have this in your collection.. East Bay Working Class

Been listening to punk since the late eighties, and I can tell you this is great stuff. 77-style punk with great songwrting and melodies that will remain in your head for days. Thomas Mellaerts
Heady hardcore punk from Black Aubergine has groove, heft, and an experimental edge percolating behind the blown-out surface. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2023
