Hey, welcome to No Clout.
I’m Max—short for Maximilien. I live in Pantin, a small suburban town near Paris, France, with two cats and another fellow human being.
In five decades of existence, I’ve been a tour guide, copywriter, art director, screenwriter, and now a bookseller. Music’s always been at the heart of what I do—whether with bands like VIOLENT CITY and SYRIIS, old zines, tapes, or the DIY world I’ve circled since the ’90s.
No Clout is my personal archive: mixtapes, past projects, souvenirs from the #MetalPunkTapeExchange, my blog DRY RETCH, remnants of past professional lives and more.
If we’ve crossed paths—at my shop @popcorner104, through a show, a tape, a story—I’m glad you’re here.
Have fun!
