dbo:abstract
  • The Effigies est un groupe de punk rock américain, originaire de Chicago, dans l'Illinois. Resté relativement méconnu, le groupe est toutefois l'un des premiers à s'imposer en refus de l'institutionalisation du punk et a joué un rôle décisif dans la genèse de l'identité de la scène post-hardcore de Chicago ; son influence est souvent mise sur le même pied que celle d'autres groupes emblématiques de la même scène comme Naked Raygun ou Big Black. Le groupe compte plusieurs albums publiés par le label Ruthless Records et distribués par Enigma. (fr)
