About Me


ABOUT THE WEBZINE: COUP DETAT is a french punk/hardcore/psychobilly webzine, based in Montreal (Québec, CAN), offering up-to-date news about the local scene, as well as shows infos, reviews, interviews, featured mp3s, videos, pictures, plus infos on tattoos, street art and independant illustrators/graphic designers.
One of our goal is also to help promoting any underground and DIY bands that we enjoy, from all around the globe, by sending you questions, reviewing your cds/demos and take some pictures when you come tear shit up here. So if you plan on coming here soon or need booking infos, just drop us a line.
Internationnal collaborators are also more than welcome.
ABOUT THE MAKER: I've been playing in bands and making shows since 1994, did my first webzine in 1999, who did quite well, offering interviews with Hatebreed, Earth Crisis, Snapcase, Avenged Sevenfold (when none of you knew who they were), and more. We also got featured twice on MusiquePlus (our french MTV), but I decided to close it in 2001 to focus on my band. I've had since the honor to share stages with the best Quebec had/has to offer, like Anonymus, Overbass, Groovy Aardvark, Street Troopers, Akuma, Deadly Pale, Ordures Ioniques, Minds, Bodybag, Vulgar Deli, Tears From The Sky, Hymn From Above, Pay The Price and many others.
In 2006 I got tired of seeing too many pop-punk, emo and generic metalcore crap invading local medias, not seeing enough interviews with local bands, or just any in french. So I decided to put COUP DETAT together, the DIY way. And since it's launch in may, I've found the greatest collaborators ever that will help make this webzine of the best ressource for the local old school/DIY scene.
Thanks you so much for visiting, peace and cheers!
