Les Cowboys Fringants have become one of Quebec's most celebrated néo-trad bands for their impassioned, rustic rock anthems, but the group's early days were marked by more irreverent, pint-sloshing sing-alongs. “Heavy Metal” may not sound like the namesake genre, but its frenzied folk stomp barrels forth at a hardcore clip, while “Marcel Galarneau” is the sort of country barnburner tailor-made to the fill the dance floor at a farmhouse wedding.
