Background notes
Archive material and source history
Babylon Pression formed in Paris around 1983, with Olivier Jourdan and Bertrand Boukobza at the center. Their music mixed punk with reggae and dub elements, and they became known for lyrics that were bluntly political. Songs like "Allez Tous Vous Faire Foutre" and "Des Tasers Et Des Pauvres" gave voice to a specific kind of discontent, delivered with a raw, confrontational energy.
In 1984, they released their self-titled debut album. That same year, they faced legal trouble after performing "Allez Tous Vous Faire Foutre," which led to charges of inciting hatred. The incident turned into a public debate about free expression, though the band's music continued without much polish or compromise.
They put out a few more records in the 1980s, including "Paroles de Tox" in 1986 and a live album two years later. The lineup changed around Jourdan and Boukobza, but their sound stayed rooted in that initial mix of aggression and rhythm. For a certain audience, their songs became anthems of frustration, plain and direct.
