The North of Italy has long been the hotbed for hardcore punk in and amongst the high literacy, revolutionary aesthetics, and beloved antiquity of Italian culture. Its legendary squat scene and musical compass of total nihilism hangs highly in the legacy of Italian hardcore punk - and now again from the squats and streets of Milan the same urges to organise and decimate are strongly brewing again. GOLPE, whose Italianate take on Discharge and Totalitar via polenta, hot peppers, and fried bread crumbs, blew on to the scene in 2019. Static Shock and Sorry State join hands to give their first recordings - a classic grip of weapons grade scandi-charged Italian noise farming - a permanent home on wax, bringing with it an immaculately prepared medley of Italian HC classics. The medley reads like their influences - starting with the unmistakable swell of Indigesti's pre-pubescently perfect "Mass Media" all the way to the concrete musical genius of Nabat's "Scenderemo Nelle Strade" this crushes from primi piatti, to secondi, to dolci, and your espresso after dinner. (Jonah Falco)
The 7" comes on red vinyl with a flooded pocket sleeve and lyric sheet. It's limited to 1200 copies and a split release with our friends at Sorry State in the USA. Support your local label!
