Paris Violence is a French punk rock and street punk band hailing from Paris, steeped in a unique blend of melancholy and rebellious spirit. The band emerged from the vibrant underground punk scene in the early 1990s, and it's principally embodied by its frontman and songwriter, Flavien Berger, who has remained its creative force and consistent member throughout its existence. Paris Violence is known for their poetic and, at times, darkly intellectual lyrics, which are often infused with historical and political themes, setting them apart within the punk genre.

The group has built a cult following over the years through a prolific output that has not wavered in its intensity or engagement with the socio-political issues of the times. Their music is characterized by its raw energy combined with a degree of finesse and melodic sense that echoes the classic French chanson tradition, albeit with a distinctly punk edge. Among their recent releases are "L'avenir commence mal" (The Future Starts Badly) and "Du futur faisons table rase" (Let's Sweep the Future Clean), both titles reflecting the band's critical perspective on contemporary society and the potential for change. Other notable works such as "Fleurs de névroses et d'éther" (Flowers of Neuroses and Ether) and "En attendant l'apocalypse" (Waiting for the Apocalypse) continue to expand their discography with evocative imagery and a sense of urgency that resonates with fans across various subcultures. Their commitment to their craft and to addressing the pressing concerns of their times have made Paris Violence a respected name in the European punk scene.
