Rough Trade proudly presents, MSS FRNCE - a punk four piece who make their UK tour and Bristol live debut on Wednesday 22nd April.

MSS FRNCE hails from Paris, the City of Love - capital of France, the so-called land of human rights on this cursed planet.

For ten years and more than 130 international dates (France, Canada, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, Luxembourg), MSS FRNCE has been showcasing its ideas through fierce live shows, driven by a soundtrack too punk for most people, yet not punk enough for hardcore tough guys. You don't change the world by whispering - you shout it with flowers.

In 2025, MSS FRNCE released "VII", its seventh EP. A sonic and melodic shift, accompanied by a striking 20-minute long take film, available on the band's YouTube channel. The band defended it across nearly twenty dates, from Paris (Petit Bain, Trabendo, Inter, Le Chinois) to Bordeaux, from Lille to Nantes, from Off Printemps de Bourges to Belgium - pushing further, louder, and even more dance-driven in 2026.

MSS FRNCE is made up of Jérôme Barberot on bass, Jérémie Maire on drums, Antoine Pépin on guitar and backing vocals, and Martin Sek on vocals.

Support from:

NEKO, the premier act to emerge from Bristol's thriving Japanese language post rock/electronica micro scene (population 1).

R.P.C are an Irish band currently based in Bristol. Combining elements of hardcore, skate punk and crossover thrash.
