HEAD-ON ( Rennes/FR) is the brilliant collision of the finest and best french punk rock bands (DEAD...

HORSE PROBLEM, BORN IN FLAMES, NITROBREW, ORVILLE BRODY & GOODFELLAS, SPEEDORACERS, FREDDY LYNXX & THE CORNER GANG) influenced by US early 70's punk rock (MODERN LOVERS, DEAD BOYS) & infected by aussie swamp rock (BEAST OF BOURBON, NEW CHRISTS).

After a first single released on Beast Records in 2010 ("Ready to Punch", covered in 2012 by the australian band Bertie Page Clinic, the tune even reachs the Queensland charts), in 2012 HEAD ON records "Blind Kiss": 10 songs taken in live and urgently by Tim Bewlay (ex Quireboys) with the special guest appearance of the 6 Ft Hick australian superstars as well as James Leg (Black Diamond Heavies) who regularly plays on stage with the band.

At the beginning of 2014, HEAD ON goes back to studios. The sessions are directed and recorded live in a few days by the talented Pete Ross.

Susy Sapphire, Pete Ross' partner, signs some of the lyrics and fixes her captivating voice on the hit "She's Gone".

With "Changing Shape", the band releases its best album so far: 12 songs sweating real rock'n'roll, from the stooges-like "Black Sheep", the heartbreak song "Fell Down", the mid tempo "Changing Shape" and "Line of Sight" (on which John Nolan - Bored!, Powder Monkeys guitar hero - plays the lead guitar), to the greasy-groovy "18 Wheels of Glory", you're warned! The sons of the bastard called Rock'n'roll are coming to you! ...
