Melodic, gloomy and cold post punk. The album Common Crusades continues to tell storys from French colonization…

‘Common Crusades’ is the second full-length from the French punk band, and the musical and lyrical continuity of their 2019 thematic debut ‘La paix ou le sable’. Political lyrics dealing with the conflicts rooted in France’s colonial era clash with melodic, subversive, and gloomy and soundscapes throughout the tracks of ‘Common Crusades’.

‘Common Crusades’ offers 10 melodic punk rock tracks, all contributing to the overall story and theme of the album. Fast-paced, distorted, and punchy cuts are mixed with tracks highlighting a colder and post-punk influenced side of Nightwatchers. The sound is perfectly captured by studio engineer Mathieu Zuzek.
