I remember rumors of a band by that name way back when I was still alive—roamin’ the Deep South and Lower Midwest

An album that reveals itself to the listener slowly with new delights every time it’s removed from the jacket

And while the aforementioned releases came into being via cassettes on the great Roach Leg Records and from the band themselves respectively

'Material' follows 2021's 100% TOTAL PUNK 'EP' and 2020's 'LP'

There are five members, but Maraudeur plays paper thin post punk as if it were a short scale power trio. Some songs are en franais, others auf Deutsch, some English.

Much like Palberta's excellent Palberta 5000, this is very much its own thing. Lars
