The Traders, a French punk rock trio, unleash their sonic storm with How Much Art Can You Take? This twelve-track masterpiece seamlessly blends aggression, heaviness, and melody, showcasing their adept fusion of punk rock, garage, noise rock, stoner rock, and hardcore. Each track confronts listeners with raw, heavily distorted chords and ferocious guitar work, complemented by a semi-distorted bassline that unifies their intense sound.
The drummer’s precision dismantles the kit with detailed beats and intricate fills, providing a relentless energy that drives the album forward. Vocally, the balance between aggression and melody adds anthemic harmonies, enhancing the album’s grandiosity. The title itself challenges artistic boundaries, reflecting The Traders’ commitment to uncompromising punk rock.
How Much Art Can You Take? isn’t just an album; it’s a manifesto of artistic expression. The Traders carve a fresh niche in punk rock, offering a unique and engaging listening experience that demands attention.

For international orders: In case your order exceeds 2 kg in weight, it might make more sense to split it into 2 smaller ones, to save some money on the shipping. The price jump after 2 kg is absurd!
