Métal Urbain was scandalously ignored in France. They were the first authentic punk band to jettison guitars and make extensive usage of synths, they were the first signing, RT001 on Rough Trade’s mythical imprint. Métal Boys is one of their "nom de plume". A change that reflects a time when they faced a confused identity and recorded alongside the English performer, China.
