Segnali Di Fumo is a zine dedicated to comics and graphic art. In this issue an article about the Japanese comic art, a few comic strips by various italian artists and some copy art samples. The most of it is in Italian language. Enjoy it.
Great cd by this amazing band from Caserta (Southern Italy), I have already posted their live tape recorded at Tien`A` Ment Squat in Naples on the 8th of June 1996.
They re-formed in 2013 just to re-record some of their tracks in a proper studio recording.
Therefore in this totally DIY Cd-r, you `ll find 4 tracks, from that tape, completely re-recorded and 2 more tracks from the same tape re-elaborated in a studio!
Very good musicians playing a sort of crossover mixing Jazzcore with some personal rock and funky/swing passages.
As far as I know, they have not distributed this cd, there are only a few copies around given away as a gift to close friends.
For all the lovers of creative muzik. Enjoy it. (f~a*r~a(w~a)y_ click me
Amazing furious HC Punk by this italian combo from Southern Italy!
I wrote about them when I posted their rare split tape with Pastafrolla.In that post you can find a small bio written by the drummer Alfredo and the explanation of this funny name.
This cd had an excellent review by Maximum Rock`n Roll magazine,here it is:"Damn
this is really good! I like this more every time I listen to it.
Unfortunately it´s fair to say this record looks really bad. With a logo
stolen from Discharge and some less-than-exciting picture you´d
problably pass this up. But this band is not a Disclone. DISSCIORDA
plays some really out-standing punk that is recorded with the perfect
amount of clarity while remaining intensely driving and raw. I love the
vocals - they are not the least bit crusty, but are instead youth-fully
shouted in both the English and Italian languages with passion and
convinction. In fact the vocals remind me of FINAL CONFLICT. The reason i
review for MRR is for bands like this, I would have not heard this
until it was ten years old otherwise. I suggest that you find it
quickly. Another awesome release from Agipunk." (WK) Maximum Rock n Roll

Spazio Libero means Free Space.It is a short fanzine of incredible collage art-works and poetries.The mastermind behind it is Carlo Rosselli, an excellent multi-instrumentalist and actor involved as guitarist in those bands:Dissciorda and Ortopedic Quartet.
Recycling and assembling old comic graphix by famous and less famous artists adding few random drawings Carlo creates here exquisite frames for his poetries.Unfortunately only in Italian language.
Carletto of Dissciorda gave me this tape long time ago and when I deciced to pass it to Radiomoltov blog , I realized that i couldn`t index it properly.There are lots of unlisted tracks on it so I did put it aside waiting for help,eventually only 2 months ago I met Alfredo(the drummer of Dissciorda) who helped me to index it properly.(many thanx Alfredo) I do not know much about Pastafrolla rather than they were from Caserta and friends of Dissciorda . Alfredo wrote this small introduction for this post: "Dissciorda formed in Caserta in 1996. The name of the band is a jolly teasing of all ‘”Dis” bands , which at the time were springing up in the European HC scene (“sciorda” means diarrhoea in dialect), but it is also a way of recalling Discharge and above all their lyrics of pacifist anarcho-punk inspiration, depicting possible post-nuclear war scenarios and actual horrors such as famine, exploitation and the violence on which capitalism is based. The first line-up included Carletto (guitar/vocals), Giovanni (guitar), Alfredo (drums), Alessandro (vocals) and Ciro (bass). A few months later Nicola took the place of Ciro, and the band started playing their own tracks and touring between the regions of Campania and Puglia (mainly in squats and social centres). Their first self-produced 7-inch, “Il marchio della vostra infamia”, was issued in 1999, in collaboration with Ennio (Kollapsed Reality), who in the meantime had taken the place of Nicola as bass player, whereas Andrea had taken the place of Alessandro as lead vocals. Between 2000 and 2001, Dissciorda toured again but in 2002 they had to face yet another change in the line-up, as Daniele (ex Pastafrolla) took the place of Andrea as lead vocals. Their live concerts were becoming rare, in spite of the fact that the band continued to create new tracks. These were included in the LP “Alienation Breeders”, issued by Agipunk in 2005. The record got a good review in Maximum Rocknroll (although they tore the artwork to pieces!). After the record was issued, the band played in Modena and Rome, the last two concerts of the band. A few months later Dissciorda disbanded, although not in an explicitly straight way." Here
a slide show I made with the pics that Carletto and Alfredo passed me 2
years go,as far as I know there is no footage of their gigs and they
never played outside Italy so this slide show is the only chance to see
them playing. To
complete this post I am also attaching a review of their cd taken from Maximum Rock`n`Roll magazine.This cd is still
available as free download hereon radiomolotov blog. "Damn this is really good! I like this more every time I listen to it. Unfortunately it´s fair to say this record looks really bad.

(WK) Maximum Rock n Roll #263 As far as I know this split tape was not distributed,Carletto made few copies to pass it around to a small circle of friends and musicians.Thanx to Babs for the English translation of Alfredo`s introduction.The recordings of both bands are just excellent.Enjoy it.
Bandiera Dell`Odio is an old band from Caserta (Southern Italy),active on and off since 1987, they recorded the first demo in 1989-at the time they were playing a fast and violent thrashcore that became a form of very original HC punk as the years passed by. Here I am posting all the discography of this band and I am adding a short biography that my friend Emmepi8(the singer of this band)sent me for this post. I am also attaching the video of the last cd where you`ll find lots of pics and few short footage taken at some of their gigs. A big thanx to Emmipi8 for his contribution and to Babs for the english translation.
BDO
were born in November 1987 from a group of angry seventeen-year olds
in search of a space where to shout their anger and dissent…
Born
to be fast, they were engaged in practices of self-producing and
self-distributing audio, video and paper materials.
In
1989 BDO (Mario, Fabio, Felice and Gianni) recorded their first and
only demo, accompanied by a booklet containing the thoughts of the
band. 500 copies were soon distributed, while concerts were been
played and proposals were coming for BDO to participate in
self-produced compilations. In the meantime the band’s sound became
more closed and claustrophobic...
The
history of this experience was characterized by continuous changes in
the members of the band, an experience which continued with ups and
downs until 1993, and then ended.
Later
some members of the band founded BRANDELLI D’ODIO. In 1995,
stimulated by his encounter with young musicians of the blooming (so
was it at the time) scene of Caserta, Mario (lead vocals of BDO) took
back a line of reasoning which had been interrupted too early. So BDO
were born again. There was a new line-up and the tracks were played
according to a darker and more nervous vision. Live concerts started
again, and in 1997 ‘Nausea Quotidiana’ [Everyday Nausea] -
created at the end of the eighties - was recorded for an
anti-militarist compilation and as a prelude to a record which had to
be issued a few months later…
But
the band split once again and each member took roads different from
the one undertaken with BDO. Even if everything seemed over, the fire
was still smouldering under the ashes, and in the summer of 2003 the
band decided to meet for a session with the idea to come back to that
never issued record.
With
3/5 of the last line-up and the introduction of a new drummer and a
new guitarist, the band kicked off and the thing worked well, with
live concerts and the beginning of recording in 2004... But the
project stopped once again and what came out was a three-track EP
called Anti-Pasto. In 2010 Sangue Vivo [Living Blood], a live
recording produced at the CPA in Florence, was issued and
co-produced by two dozen completely independent realities, ranging
from Sicily to London. In the course of the years BDO shared the
stage with: No Means No, Kina, Raw Power, Dirteeze, Zu, Indigesti,
Contropotere, Pak, Removal, Contrasto, NIA Punx...
Somehow
we’re still alive; the current line-up is the following:
Here the mini cd by Rudy & Crudy from Caserta,an excellent ska band from recent years. My friend Emmip8,the singer of this band wrote this small biography. If you like ska music you will love this mini cd. A big thanx to Babs for the english translation. :fa:r:a:w:a:y:
Rudy & Crudy were born in the summer of 2003 thanks to Bandiera dell’Odio’s former lead vocals (and also 2-tone Neapolitan band Lucky for Fun’s singer) with the complicity of a very young bass player from Caserta. We started our activity in the milieu of Neapolitan antagonist circles such as Officina 99 and Ska Okkupato, where we contributed to animating their self-managed rehearsal room. We were interested in practices such as self-production and self-management of spaces and we were also part of the No Copyright collective as we refused to have our songs registered with SIAE. We proposed ourselves as a (completely free) resource for the realities of the movements closer to us, and according to a solidarity perspective we used to go around all over Italy especially in occupied and self-managed spaces without following the rules dictated by the market. In spite of this Rudy & Crudy were not a militant band.In the first years the band was made by people having different stories, paths and lives but they all shared passion for music and a strong interest in social issues as well as a sincere antifascist attitude. In March 2006 Adriano, Riccardo, Alessandro, Andrea and Antonio recorded and self-produced the one and only CD of the band, which later started frantically changing its members. As musicians continued to come and go in our band, we were being deprived of the simplicity and candour which had characterized us and we were slowly turning into one of the many bands haunted by the need to have success and make money, a need that badly affected solidarity feelings, enthusiasm and sensibility. Inevitably we ceased to exist as a band in February 2012, asphyxiated by selfish ambitions and aspirations to gain.
