Our Favorite Band Of Basque Miscreants Just Dropped A 20-Minute Thrash Edit

“The Keks Machine boys are proud Basque Country kids and they let you know it,” Ian Crane once wrote, in a European missive featured on our site some time ago.

“Biarritz is theirs. The waves, the streets, and the girls,” Crane continues. “They listen to music loud, surf, skate and drink hard, laughing endlessly. These guys leave their mark everywhere they go, and for how brash and abrasive they might be, the mark they leave is a positive one. They are loved in their city, lifting each other up, and creating beautiful things.”

Stab Highway Europe viewers will recall the Keks Machine boys as the same group that spray-painted McKenzie Bowden and lit his hair on fire in a Biarritz back alley.

Above is their latest film, BRAT YEAR IS NOT OVER (yet). 

Filmed on a handful of adventurous strike missions, the film is directed by Theo Preuilh and continues their trademark blend of abrasive French expressionism and contemporary three-fin thrashing.

As Crane succintly put it, ‘Surf. Skate. Party.‘
