Two decades in the trenches and Quebec City’s melodic punk powerhouse STILL INSANE is far from slowing down. Dropped via Thousand Islands Records, their explosive new 12-track full-length, "When Friendship’s Not Enough", hits like a shot of pure, unadulterated skate-punk adrenaline. If you've spent the last twenty years banging your head to heavyweights like NOFX, Bad Religion, Millencolin, and Guttermouth (acts these guys have proudly shared stages with), consider this record your mandatory new soundtrack.   
Fronted by vocalist Eric Dorval alongside Jean-Sébastien Arsenault on guitar, Stéphane Coulombe on bass, and Sylvain Labrecque on drums, the band delivers a masterclass in fast, honest, and stripped-down punk rock. From razor-sharp riffs to massive, fist-pumping choruses designed to ignite crowded sweaty rooms, every single track on this album is insanely catchy and ridiculously driving. Cuts like the focus track "Together" capture the raw, beer-soaked magic of four friends locking themselves in a practice space to make the walls shake. It’s urgent, deeply melodic, and completely infectious from the first chord to the last. Turn it up loud, grab a cold one, and dive straight into the Bandcamp stream right now!

Born 1969, grew up with the NWOBHM sounds, musically educated with cult french magazines that were ENFER and METAL ATTACK, definitely nailed to the style when "The Number Of The Beast" by IRON MAIDEN was released... From 1982, it was clear life would never be the same ! Young & getting wild to the HEAVY sounds of SAXON, VENOM, BLACK SABBATH, MOTORHEAD, Young Fab also discovered thanks to school mates the NOISE, FILTH & FURY of Hard-Core/Punk bands like G.B.H, DISCHARGE, BROKEN BONES but also CRO-MAGS, BAD BRAINS, FUGAZI, AGNOSTIC FRONT... quickly leading him to explore THRASH METAL and CROSSOVER styles (SLAYER, EXODUS, KREATOR, VOIVOD, ANTHRAX, S.O.D., TESTAMENT...) and later on, through the 90's, everything that was ALTERNATIVE, EXPERIMENTAL, GRUNGE, INDUSTRIAL (SONIC YOUTH, NINE INCH NAILS, SOUDGARDEN, ALICE IN CHAINS)... Not to mention the DEATH-METAL/GRIND-CORE wave (DEATH, MORBID ANGEL, MORGOTH, NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER...)...
Passion & curiosity grew up as years went by ... Fate was SEALED... no turning back ! 
No Music = No Life !
