Right now, we’re in the midst of a full-fledged revival of classic oi and street-punk sounds. Bands like the Chisel, Violent Way, Mess, and Syndrome 81 all have radically different takes on that genre, but all of them are doing fun, exciting things with the gang-bellow sound. Montreal’s Béton Armé — French for “Reinforced Concrete” — have been part of that world since they released their 2018 demo, and their last record was a 2021 split with Violent Way. Now, they’re back with a monstrous new four-song EP called Second Souffle — French for Second Breath.
