P820P - 2000 Dead Priests -(Self Released-Italy-1999)


P820P was a band from Rome (Italy)active at the end of the 90s. The members were involved in the squatting/anarchist scene, organizing activites in the famous Torre Maura squat. This tape is difficult to find nowadays, the recording is pretty good and the folded cover-sleeve reports info and lyrics. As for the music expect powerviolence and grind-core with double vocals shouting anger and hate against religion/state/army...
To complete this post, I add a few flyers from these glory days when P820P were playing.
A big thanks to Giorgio for passing me this tape a long time ago and these flyers not so long ago, and to Simone for providing the cover sleeve.

Enjoy it.

Obscene TapeZine N6 -(Self Released - Italy -1996)


 Obscene TapeZine N6 is a huge project including a tape of radio shows from Radio Kaos and Pirate Radio Fuck International + Obscene zine + Punk Container + a big poster. I am going to describe briefly the 4 items contained in a big plastic bag.

The Tape:All the stuff contained in the tapezine comes from the shows on Radio Kaos and Pirate Radio Belin Fuck International. The stuff on the tapezine is going to be divided into two different projects; The side A contains the mix of demo tapes delivered to Obscene zine-no selection was made, different music styles, to show and transmit sounds, noises and lyrics contained into independent cassette releases...
The B side offers a panoramic view of the punk scene. The DIY and self-management of the 80s. This idea was born from the need to analyse the development of the punk movement in Italy.To unveil the influences that created it, to show this music/ideas and also to dig into it. On the hunt of what is never been published so far...

Obscene zine n6 , this contained visual poetry, mail art, flyers, comics and articles-somehow a bit messy but visually striking, here the introduction to this issue.


Punk Container :Punk Container was an experimental project of archiving old punk fanzines from the 80s and making them available at low-cost to whoever wanted them. At the same time, the organizers of such a project were asking people to send them old zines to expand their archive. It was a non-profit ongoing project. The whole idea came from the will to not loose experiences and activities from the counter-culture. Punk Container includes articles about the DIY culture, the world of the fanzines and independent press, the history of certain self-released productions and detailed info about the fanzine`s archive that was available at the time.

and then the big poster...

This is an amazing sample of underground press at its best. If you are Italian-literate, don`t miss it. Buona lettura e ascolto.
