Mainly influenced by The Ramones and the early British punk rock scene, the Razors quickly made theirs this new principle: "We don't know how to play music. Well, who cares? Let's do it anyway!" They played very short and fast 1-2-3-4 style punk rock songs. The lyrics, when not playing covers from The Stooges or Sham 69, were written by Chris Azoeuf alias Chris Toulouse (in very poor English) and were clearly politically (left-wing) oriented.
Their concerts were characterized by "some" disruptance and some ended in a mess (the horse-mounted police charged the band and the crowd at an open-air concert).
After the split, each went into other musical projects, playing again with one or another and from time to time. Pascal Gabriel alias Gaby Siclet, Bob and Chris set up the Bananas for a few months. Then Rudï and Chris along with Marcel Deroeck formed Acné Juvénile. Gaby, soon after, left for London and since then has pursued a productive musical career.
