Les Sheriff, sometimes stylized as Les $heriff, is a French punk rock band from Montpellier, in the Hérault department (Occitanie). They were originally active between 1984 and 1999 and are considered by specialized press as one of the founders of the French punk rock scene. Les Sheriff bid farewell in 1999 but reunited for a special concert on June 2, 2012, in Montpellier, during the 15th anniversary festival of the TAF (Tout à Fond) association. The band returned to the stage in the spring of 2014 for a few headline shows and festival appearances, continuing in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2022, including a stop in Quebec. They also performed at Hellfest in 2018 and 2022. Les Deux Doigts Dans La Prise...!! is a live album, originally released in 1992.
Punk-rock en francés. Bien. Un 4, venga.
This is gonna be a live album, isn't it. At least I've never heard of the band. Euro-rock I've never heard sometimes comes up cool. Ok it's a bit of simple 80s punk. Total Ramones/Misfits worship, with a slightly more polished edge. I struggled with the overall length (I stopped listening sometime through disc 2), and sadly I don't understand enough French in real-time to get the words; who knows what poetic genius I missed out with "Arrete de parler" and "Mayonnaise a gogo". Digs at dumb punk aside, this was a good bit of fun. An hour 10 is a big ask for this kind of music, but turning it off at about 40min was a good move - I'll still give it a 4/5.
French is already a fast language. But this punk-rythm makes it even faster. But I really liked it
This was a fun listen, if overly long for what is supposed to be a punk album. The sound is interesting, fusing the attitude and melodicism of pop punk with a level of guitar technique that would not be entirely out of place in 80s metal. The pace is crisp and energetic, and the band mixes it up enough that you never really get bored with it. They did lose me a bit somewhere in the middle of the second disc, because it's just a lot to listen to. My limited proficiency in French prevented me from fully engaging with the album, but I really liked it. Thanks for sharing it.

Never thought the French could rock out like this. Definitely a lengthy listen that could stand a bit of trimming, but the duration is a testament to the band’s sheer energy – insane that they sustained this kind of energy for well over an hour and never let up. This was a great way to start my morning and was a solid listen all the way through, cool add!
The language problem as usual. Punk comes off a little strange in French, though it's not a bad fit. I didn't need an hour and ten minutes of this.
Their best hits seemed irrelevant to me, the punk style is a bit close to ska, especially because of the fast pace. I think they are good musicians but the vocalist and the songs seem to me to be not up to par. 1.5 stars
Starts out great and is a lot of fun. French! 80s! Punky Rock! What a concept. And then it overstays its welcome SOOOO fast and just keeps GOING ON AND ON FOREVER
I like to have more non-english albums on the user list, but I was not wanting for another punk rock, double and live album. I think the best tracks of this album could be a great 45 minute album with a lot of catchy, melodic punk pop/rock and energy, but in this form it is just too long and with too many mediocre songs.
