One of the most eagerly anticipated punk music events in France is This Is My Fest, and with good reason. The most recent iteration of the festival, which has previously included some of the top punk rock bands from around the globe, did not dissapoint. Pogo Car Crash Control, Guerilla Poubelle, Mobina Galore, P.O. Box, Not Scientists, Toybloid, Decent Criminal, Colour Me Wednesday, The Deadnotes, and The Hunters were some of the best performers.
One of the festival's high points was Pogo Car Crash Control's furious performance, which showcased their distinct raw energy and punk rock spirit. The politically charged lyrics and upbeat music of Guerilla Poubelle and Mobina Galore also energized the audience. P.O.Box and Not Scientists delivered high-intensity performances, and the theatricality of Toybloid and the contagious melodies of Decent Criminal had the audience singing along.
The Deadnotes' emotive, introspective lyrics and Colour Me Wednesday's female punk songs were a welcome counterpoint to the festival's more frantic performances. The Hunters' grungy garage-rock style completed the festival's eclectic line-up. This Is My Fest 2023, which featured some of the best and most exciting bands in the genre, was a fantastic celebration of punk rock music overall.
