Hermano – Clisson, France (Live album)
Ripple Music – 2026 
Rock, Stoner, Desert 
Rated: ****

Legendary Hermano. Back on the road. I always counted myself lucky to have been there for their first incarnation. The W2 gig that was recorded and later on when they returned to my hometown Eindhoven, where they had the very cool but short-lived Repomen (which thankfully gave us Komatsu) open up for them. And this year… I’m gonna be freaking lucky once again. I will definitely see them twice once more. And can’t wait for May to arrive. I wasn’t there in France though. Not last year. And not back in 2016 when they recorded the live album that has been spinning a lot over here. Hellfest, they sure got something special going on. And so does Hermano…

They obviously need no introduction. And to be perfectly frank, the live album needs no review. This stands as a testament for those who were there at Hellfest, for those who’ve seen them live somewhere and for those who desperately want to see them live. And will be able to at any of the nine dates currently lined-up in Europe. Quality wise the sound is there, visceral, engaging and seducing. It will make you lust for more Hermano… 

And if When The Moon Was High mini album had not been released back in 2024, this new live album would have been so much more. Remember that one? With Breathe? And Never Boulevard? But three of the tracks were also used for that release. One of them being Love. That one ‘new’ track. Which hold such a savory groove and tempo you can have it on repeat for the entire afternoon. But that would probably dismiss a bit too much of the rest of the live album, for the setlist was pristine and the band on fire. 

No Sugarhill Gang at all, this is the Hermano you hope to hear. Always. So… If you were there. At this Hermano live gig, some other one or desperately want to be there, this is for you. This is a release for you. They’ve played that gig and recorded it, just for you.
