Carnage Piknik is a post-punk noise trio with a cathartic charge, already making waves on the French noise scene. Ève, Milan, and Hélio left a strong impression with their debut EP, Silence as a Tone of Noise, released in October 2024. Recorded by Lionel Laquerrière (GaBLé), mixed by Artie (The Psychotic Monks), and mastered by Thomas Poli (Stuffed Foxes), the record firmly establishes their place within an independent, demanding, and engaged aesthetic, where sonic tension and the urgency of the message take precedence over compromise. A year later, with Love Loving (Reverse Tapes, 10/2025), the trio pushes even further: frontal sounds, abrasive noise, and vocals oscillating between fury and spoken word.
But it is on stage that Carnage Piknik truly reveals their power. Their live performances are intense, visceral, and relentless, carried by remarkable cohesion and a generosity that hits straight to the gut. Despite their youth, they display a rare maturity and defend music as a space for resistance and gathering, promoting love, respect, and freedom, with a creative urgency worthy of the contemporary UK/US post-punk scene.
