Good news! Big Takeover Issue #96 Spring 2025 with Bob Mould on the cover (our Special 45th Anniversary Issue) has been completed and will be out shortly!

“To really understand my musical journey, you need to know that I grew up in a tiny village in the Yonne region, Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye — a place very far removed from the world of indie pop. Musically, I listened to whatever was playing on the radio, mostly commercial stuff, so when I arrived in Lyon in 1989 to finish my studies, it was a real shock. That’s truly where I discovered indie music, which would go on to change my life.” – Thierry Haliniak

“I am proud to say I always felt we were creatively true to ourselves but at times I felt we were creative outcasts. There were some narrow-minded approaches when the music turned more hardcore but those that got what we were doing aligned themselves with us. There was a small group of melodic punk rockers, which I loved,” shared guitarist Joey Kelly.
