Operation S - you can call it synth-punk, you can call it new-wave, you can really call it whatever you want – but when the music is this rad and the singer this hot, I call it awesome. Featuring members of The No-Talents, this French quintet shows you that you don’t have to understand the lyrics for the music to be awesome (well, some of you might understand the lyrics, but I don’t speak a lick of French other than crepe and pompadour). More than anything they remind me of the Epoxies, with a bit of Siouxie Sioux thrown in; a friend also noted a similarity to Metal Urbain, who were one of the first punk bands to use synthesizers, and also happened to be French. Regardless of what they sound like, it all adds up to good fun not only on their recorded materials but live as well. Experiencing the sultry nature of lead singer Cecilia is a must for any fan of super hot singers. It’s almost enough to make a man want to give up his day job and follow the band around in a van selling grilled cheese sandwiches to pay for your entrance into the shows.
