was December 19, 1983 when we started playing in the rooms, after a succession of administrative bodies which began in October. There began our real life group. Intended both as a band and as a group of people met to be together. We went under the seat of SubPunks of Ancona, sometimes they were with us, because all were beginning to consider the possibility of foaming at the mouth have a room available evidence, already equipped, and a stone's throw from the capital ...
We had a handful of songs, "Italy (Big State)", "Press", "animal hide", "3,2,1 ... war. " The text "Create your martyrs" I wrote on October 14, a Friday. I had it with toxic bothered me their arrogance from their highs. I Sebri useless in their protest that led to nothing. We were against all drugs (soon to revise our views on soft drugs ...), but especially against those who used them against the market and of death.
That was Monday, Dec. 19, and the chronicles report that we played two pieces. Obviously I do not remember which. But already on 26 we played them five! Surely those who have been mentioned above!
activity with SubPunx Ancona went on, we made contact out of the border (nazionale!) and it seemed that everything revolves around us. We wrote articles for the American fanzine, we translate our texts into English to send the punks to the stars and stripes, the hardcore scene was raging and it seemed like the beginning of February 1984 should come into play at the Ancona Million of Dead Cops, and that we should open their concert ... esaltatissimi we were! I believe that their Italian tour MDC did, but without going to Ancona and then without our opening ... sin!
However, our road to fame was unraveling fast ... we should play for a few minutes and it was impossible to hold a concert itself. Then we worked on new songs and, especially, on new sounds.
The two pieces that marked the turning point were "good children" and "Black Sun": the texts became more intimate, they began to deal with the discomfort and loneliness, suffering and the difficulty of sharing life with people who felt light-years away from us ... The music was changing, especially the guitar of Daniel. We did not know, but we were absorbing the lessons of atmosferee Crass and reach for the most leaden of post-punk. The noise and the speed we drew less and less, we wanted to understand our words without needing to run a leaflet with the lyrics.
Warning: our sound at the time were very radical and very listenable, but twenty years later, music has undergone a huge change, through the heavy metal, nu-metal, ska and hip hop , industrial music and electronica. The wonder is that listening to our songs now you are saying: "Shit! But this stuff on the radio today passarebbe "
Anyway, it was through this change that we became our own identity and stop aping the other punk bands and making non-violent action. From the musical point of view
there were some groups more than others allowed this step: the Franti, first, and - as a bank, but not that pretty obvious - the guitar of The Edge of U2.
However, we were very active. And we began to be so in the political life of Falconara, beginning to confront and work with the anti-nuclear and peace groups in the city (it was the epoch of nuclear, missiles in Comiso, etc...) The first fruit of this collaborative initiative was a demonstration in the square where Mazzini - March 18 dell'orwelliano 1984 - played in a heterogeneous environment composed of communists, anarchists, Catholics and various other anime. The training that was consolidated in recent months: I, Daniel on guitar, Mark on drums and Donald on bass. For the occasion, Peppino Ragnetti, a fellow anarchist whom I remember going to a concert in Giulianova Guccini and have resisted him and some others with his fist raised for the duration of "La locomotive", maneuvering lights an absurd system, with wires dangling above our heads and those of the public. The pictures we had them Oskar Revolt of hatred, since artist already, and it cut cleanly through all the heads and did not use the flash, leaving only a few images really understand. At the time I brought back a Canon Canonet, acquired My father used to be a friend with a passion for photography. Obviously it was not a reflex, but a "compact evolved, with the focus el'esposimetro.
We had prepared some placards, one with the text "They Lie We Die" by Flux of Pink Indians, and - of course - our flag. There were all the usual suspects, plus - however - the "people" Falconara, discovered that our sounds excruciating, and we looked into the astonished el'esterrefatto.
