Unschooling

The French band Unschooling will perform in Nova Cvernovka on April 5.

„Leaving aside perhaps Crass or The Beach Boys, few bands can claim to sound like their namesakes. Unschooling, a freshly formed four-piece linking Rouen & Montréal, tick this box with style.

Students of art-rockers Women, these home-schooled egg-heads have thrown out the textbooks and put a deceptively mathematical brand of rock on the curriculum, where complex guitar lines flirt with lo-fi spontaneity.

Made up of ex-members of MNNQNS and other Rouennaise outfits, the four dunces have built their own Open University on the pillars of post-punk. The result is as noisy as it is sensitive. They’d still end up in the Dean’s office if it wasn’t for a few shards of Pop propping up their grades from time to time though.“
