Pogo Car Crash Control

Pogo Car Crash Control has been carving out an abrasive lane in French rock since 2016, where punk urgency hooks into metal density. After Fréquence Violence (2022), the quartet pushed its grunge textures (Cristaux Liquides, Recommence à Zéro) and affirmed a direct, stage-forged sound. Having played Hellfest’s Warzone twice and then the Warm-up tour, they look to New York, the birthplace of hardcore, to record new material with producer Jon Markson (Drug Church, DRAIN, Gel, The Story So Far).

With Negative Skills, the band blurs the lines by mixing French and English, sharp riffs and more open choruses, without relinquishing the tension that defines their signature. On stage the energy remains compact and physical: the vocals carve the sonic mass and the rhythm section drives straight ahead. Pogo Car Crash Control arrives on March 7, 2026 at the Centre Culturel John Lennon in Limoges for a set that condenses this current phase: new tracks, more melodic angles and a frontal charge, all played unfiltered.
