Frustration is the flawless journey of the wild children of French rock: from the stirring beginnings within the aptly named Happy Family - the clique of DIY rockers gravitating around the Parisian record store Born Bad -to the progressive anchoring of the band in the world of French and European underground punk, from the rise of power at the turn of the 2010s to the mutation of the band into a real unifying force of all the tribes of rock'n'roll, The band has written one of the most beautiful chapters of French rock and has become its most emblematic actor. The cause is now heard by all.
However, the members of Frustration have never departed from an integrity and humility that have always been the charm of the group. They have never stopped probing the depths of the human soul, depression and madness, questioning the ecological impasse, questioning with amazement our collective headlong rush and digging into the legacy of punk 'No Future'. The band provides proof that punk rock sometimes knows how to be mature and adult. In six albums, all of which are essential, Frustration has explored all the niches of cold-wave, post-punk and British punk, not hesitating to venture into dark-waves and gothic industrial...

Four years after its fifth LP (So Cold Streams), and with its recent participation in many summer festivals (Hellfest, Rock en Seine, Eurockéennes...), Frustration finally arrives with a sixth album, Our
Decisions, and is about to turn the French rock scene upside down, once again. This sixth opus takes us further and further into darkness and madness. The title of the album,
coupled with the moderno-apocalyptic graphics masterfully executed by the faithful artist Baldo, is a final appeal to reason thrown in the face of a humanity asphyxiated by the absurdity of its decisions.
The ten tracks form a dark, coherent and unique blend of icy cold-wave (Path Of Extinction, Omerta, Pawns On The Game, Consumés), dark and sickly punk (State Of Alert, Catching Your Eyes, Secular Prayer), nihilistic post-punk (Pale Light), minimalist and stripped-down electro-industrial (Riptide) and opens, for all hope, with a single declaration of love, the very airy Vorbei (in duet with Anna, the singer of the Rouan minimal-wave combo Hammershøi).
The perfect balance between each instrument - the singer's inhabited voice (Fabrice), the raging and recognizable guitar playing (Nicus), the bass as twirling as his master (Pat), the millimetric tempo (Marc), the synth in turn strident, aggressive or experimental (Fred) - reflects the symbiosis and lasting friendship reigning within the group. The experience speaks for itself.
