(review) Zona D’Ombra-Tensioni e Distanze

a0522289005_10

Zona D`Ombra are hailing from Como, Italy and have been around since 2011. This is their brand new record and it contains 13 songs with lyrics in Italian language.

The music of this band is fantastic old school hardcore punk, fast and furious at times, and melodic and emotional at times, bordering with skatepunk and this is one of the better records that I have listened lately. Il Cielo Sopra Kamara is the song that reminds me of my childhood and pumping fist in the air and slamming to my favorite hardcore bands. This band has so much energy in the music and Italian only helps since I think it is one of the most melodic and nice languages to sing in punk hardcore. Guitars are fine, riffs are cutting in your brain, drumming is perfect and fast, vocals fit perfectly to the song structures. I don˙t speak Italian, but judging by titles and band info, they are mixing political and personal everyday life to which we all can relate to so that is another plus. Recommended songs: Tensione, Ali Bruciate. Good hardcore album.

(new video-punkrock) Sunset Radio: Release A New Video For The Single Strangers!

Italian punk-rock act Sunset Radio is glad to announce the release of the new video for “Strangers”, single available now in every digital store and in streaming HERE. The track is included in “Seasons”, five-tracks EP co-produced by Fabrizio Panebarco (Pan Music Production / Melody Fall) out on September 15th 2020.

“”Strangers’ is undoubtedly a song a bit ‘foreign’ to us, as the title says, but for some reason I feel it much closer to me than I could ever have imagined” says guitarist Riccardo Tasselli, “It’s a pop-rock ballad, we came out like this, and we wanted to record it, together with the supervision of Fabrizio Pan. It’s a very intimate, nostalgic and melancholic piece but at the same time with hopeful. The particular moment that the whole of humanity is going through, didn’t allow us to do much, so the idea was to gather people, friends, fans in a single video clip to make us feel a little closer in this hard period especially for us musicians. We were pleasantly surprised by the way people around us welcomed this initiative and the incredible amount of videos they sent us. In such a difficult time for everyone, a song like ‘Strangers’, even if only for a few minutes, can help us all feel closer. We can consider it our anthem for this 2020 quarantine”.

(review) NH3-Superhero

nh3-19

Italian ska core masters NH3 are back with the brand new record! Here we have 12 songs of melodic and upstart punkrock filled with ska and hardcore parts plus a Fugazi cover, enough harsh to appeal to more hardcore fans, yet enough melodic to appeal to the punks who love their music more anthemic and melodic. Some Talco parallels are unavoidable so they even have Dema from Talco featuring as guest on Utopia. Anestesia is one of my personal favorites on the record being a bit more hardcore sounding, with almost nervous riff parts in the song. Liquido, Fantasma(featuring Gab) and Life are also the songs I could recommend to you. I am sad to say that I have never seen these guys perform live, I am sure they are fun as hell to watch and dance to live. Go get this one.
