Sea Shepherd was a hardcore band from Orléans, France who were active in the early 90s. The band featured members of Autonomia Indigena and Shatter The Myth. During their active period they released a 7", a split 7" with Rabia (Autonomia Indigena's prior name), and a demo tape as well as appearing on various compilations.
France in the 90s produced so many great bands, and Sea Shepherd is no exception. With heavy hitting screamed vocals and a mix of slow instrumentals and fast, thrashy parts Sea Shepherd brought their own sound to the scene. They're not quite as emotional sounding as bands like Weep or Finger Print, they lie more along the lines of Ivich but a touch heavier and minus the horns.
Though they were involved with the "emotional" hardcore scene, Sea Shepherd channels a classic hardcore punk sound with heavily political messaging I would compare to Ebullition bands like Los Crudos or Struggle. I love the packaging and booklet that accompanies their 7" release including lyrics (in both french and english), art and various political sentiments.
