Regard- Demo Recordings
Here’s a real treat to kick off the weekend. Here we have the demo recordings of Regard, a killer coldwave/post-punk band. Curiously enough, while the band hails from Italy, the majority of their lyrics and titles are in French. Their only officially released tracks were issued on the (absolutely essential) VM Cinque compilation, posted here at Crispy Nuggets. I was just informed today that this band is NOT the Italian Regard, but a NEWER French band with the same name, which definitely clarifies things a bit!
While the tracks here are a little less upbeat, you can expect some excellent sounds here: gloomy vocals, atmospheric guitars, and warm synths. Definitely a must for fans of Formes Nouvelles, Mémoires D’automne, and the first Résistance record, to name a few. Don’t miss out on this one!

Franco Caudullo is Madaski, same guy of Suicide Dada, so they were from Turin as well.

Mom Boy…You're completely out of the thing.This band is not Italian…it's french. It's the solo band Malaise Rouge + Members of Deadchovsky ( if I remember it well ). The other band called Regard on the CRISPY NUGGETS blog is another band. Regards, my friend. Have a nice day.

Thanks for the clarification, anon!

Also it's not at all from the 80's…It's from the year 2000, so it's not vintage. (Ps: not Deadchovsky but member of Sleeping Children)

Duly noted. It gets tricky when bands have zero info online AND share their names with another band. Either way, this demo is fantastic and hope we can hear more from them!

I don't find this fantastic at all, but I do respect your taste my friend!

Hello ladies and gentlemen. We are french and we recorded those 6 tracks in 2000. First we were two. I was a member of Deadchovsky and the other one was a member of Sleeping Children. Another member of Deadchovsky joined us later for playing live. Another question?

Nice to hear from you! Sorry for the mistaken identity above, but I really like these tracks! Did you guys record anything else?

Regard is ended but I made 3 solo albums under the name of Malaise Rouge.
Have a nice day!
