M pour Montréal : Ragers at Petit Campus

by Rédaction PAN M 360

On Missed Calls from Home, the Montreal-based four-piece bring it back to where they started, leaning on the ingenious use of their live band set-up to showcase their full artistry. Here, the infectious hooks, strong riffs and drums that inspire a call to arms are on full display. After a decade of experimentation with aspects of hip-hop and electronic music, and countless collaborations with various artists from across the globe, Ragers offer their most solid effort with a ten-track LP, released on September 29th, 2023.

Taking cues from their inspirations which number Gym Class Heroes, The Hives and their Canadian predecessors in groups like Simple Plan and Sum 41, Ragers use this album as an excuse to introduce a new generation the earnest, fun and relatable appeal of pop-punk, always with a modern twist.

Le quatuor montréalais Ragers fait un retour en force à ses racines alt-rock et offre son effort le plus solide avec Missed Calls From Home, un long-jeu de 10 titres réalisé avec Max Antoine Gendron, lauréat d’un Juno. Des percussions qui font l’effet d’un coup de poing à l’estomac, des riffs de guitare accrocheurs et entraînants et des paroles sincères, parfois inconfortables, qui racontent des histoires d’amour et de chagrin, expliquant pourquoi les appels d’êtres chers peuvent rester sans réponse; voilà à quoi s’attendre du nouvel album. Après une décennie à être considéré comme « expérimental », il semble qu’avec Missed Calls from Home, Ragers ait trouvé une réponse aux expériences.
