Fantastic, insane hardcore from Italy. This EP is from 1985; the title apparently translates loosely to "everybody's crazy", and it's quite apt. From the moment this starts, it seems obvious that the level of intensity that these dudes maintained was way over the top for their time. You can almost see the veins about to burst in their foreheads when you listen to this.
While most of the tracks are fast and brief, the band shines most, in my opinion, on the mid-paced burner
Niente. I'm not usually a fan of guitar leads, especially in punk, but this song is full of some of the most twisted, gnarled leads I've ever heard. Played on what sounds like a broken or detuned guitar, every wrong note is forced into place creating a sort of off-key circular melody. It's actually just a simple back and forth riff, but the dizzying effect it creates seems mighty advanced for a group of ordinary young punkers.
This band had a ton of other releases I'm still lookin' in to, this one just happened to be the first one I checked out after being blown away by a track they had on the
Emma comp from 1986. I couldn't tell you if this is the best place to start with this band, but it worked for me. Get it
here.
