Speed Demon n1-(Fanzine-Italy-1992)

Number 1 of this underground homo zine, Speed Demon has been the very first Italian queer publication in the early 90s made by Flavio and Orlando in Torino. I have already posted the number 3.

In this issue: A script about Bash, an anti-homophobia movie by Antony Torres, a report about Epicenter Zone, a social centre in San Francisco(USA), interviews to Nirvana, Vaginal Creme Davis, Pat Califia + reviews and rants.

A nice example of underground press from the last century.

Only in the Italian language.

Buona Lettura.

CCC CNC NCN-I Treni Di Marzo-(Video-Self Released-Italy-2020)

Another great production by the mighty CCC CNC NCN a radical collective from Torino(Northern Italy) coming from the anarchic/antagonist underground scene, combining old-school industrial sounds with conceptual records and live shows about unpopular topics, such as suicide as an extreme choice of freedom, mass control, and oppression.
I have already posted Performance Soundtracks 2005/6 
and their masterpiece album released in 1989 "Suidicio Modo D`Uso"
and  the Cd+7inch Proclami released in 1993. 
An FB page about them and their recent activities is here.
And this is their actual webpage

This video was released 2 months ago and it is about the escape of thousands of southern Italians from the North of the Italian boot due to the Covid 19 fears/paranoias. 

Enjoy it.
:f*a)r_a^~w{a:y_

Escape, escape, escape, escape, escape... You run away on trains at night... You run away on trains at night... Train stations and tracks full of lovely people... You run away on trains at night. Locked up in jails, we will die. You buy, pile up, standing in lines overnight, bulging shopping carts full of your fear, bulging shopping carts full of your fear. Of bombs and famine, we will die. You scorn insult, toast 'til night. You scorn, insult someone else's misery. You scorn insult, toast 'til night. On your banks, we will die. Yours the lifeboats, yours are the shelters. Now the world is on fire, now the world is sinking. Yours the lifeboats, yours are the shelters. Now the world is sinking, now the world is on fire. Locked down by borders, not gonna be just us.

CCC CNC NCN-Live Forte Prenestino 1-5-91-(Kontagio Produzioni Tapes-Italy-1991)

A live tape by this amazing dadaist anonymous noise/performance collective from Torino, Italy. Spawning from the anarchic/antagonist underground scene, CCC CNC NCN combines a bombastic old-school industrial sound with conceptual records and live shows about unpopular topics, such as suicide as an extreme choice of freedom, mass control and oppression.

This is their gig on MayDay of 1991 at the fantastic  Forte Prenestino, Kontagio  Produzioni Tapes was the distro active in this squat at the time and releasing mostly live tapes recorded in this massive squat.

C.O.V.-The Hertzie Prophets-(Mister X Produzioni+El Paso+Ciurcinella-Italy-1994)

Masterpiece album by the legendary hash-core band from Torino Church Of Violence, formed in the late 80's and active till 1997. They reformed in 2013.

This album is a classic of the Italian squatters scene from the fabulous 90s.it came out as a co-production between Mister X Produzioni, El Paso, and Ciurcinella.

Although there are many videos of their reunion in these last years I`d prefer to attach here a video from the old days, a funny gig in a squat in Andria(Southern Italy) sometime in 1995.

Enjoy it.

In this digital release, this legendary collective presents 4 soundtracks of 4 different performances held in Torino and around that city, their hometown, in the years 2005 and 2006.The last track is instead an unreleased track recorded in a studio.

I have already written about them when I posted their masterpiece album released in 1989 "Suidicio Modo D`Uso".

FRAMMENTI-Live El Paso-(El Paso Produzioni-Italy-1995)

An amazing gig by the legendary Frammenti in this famous squat of their home-town.
Frammenti plays a fast and ,at the same time, very personal style of HC punk. Their poetic lyrics are mesmerizing. They, quickly, captivated a large community of fans with their powerful shows in the mid-90s.

A band that became an imminent cult, somehow.

 The recording of this live tape is pretty good, the cover sleeve reports no info or song-titles.

I have already posted few tapes released by  El Paso , a big squat in Torino(Northern Italy)active since 1987, one of the oldest in Europe, it is still squatted and very active. Here their webpage.

Enjoy it.

v.a-SCHIZZI DI SANGUE-[Fanzine+Tape]-(Blu Bus-Italy-1985)

This production(tape+zine) seems to be the very first release by Blu Bus an indipendet record label started by Franti and then managed by kina. Strange enough in the Blu Bus official webpage this production is not listed.
It was a project coordinated by Marco Barbera (who later formed Barboncini Punx),a fanzine with poetries and a music cassette with the same poetries read by the artists and with added musical/sonic comments by Stefano Giaccone and Vanni Picciuolo of Franti. 

Inside the zine you`ll find poetries by Sdro(Kollettivo) Oliver(CCC CNC NCN),Benzo(Fall Out) Stefano Giaccone, Lalli, and Vanni Picciuolo of Franti + few friends who were part of the anarchist Collective of Torino before El Paso was squatted in 1987.

It was recorded in Radio Popolare of Torino and released in a limited edition of 100 copies in december 1985.

To complete this post I am adding here a cool video with  one of these tracks,I must give my great thanx to Babs + Jukbass for the english translations of this poetry and to Alez for the great work of video editing.

The last and bigger "thanx" goes to Marco Barbera for giving me all the useful info about this release.The poetries are in italian language only.

Enjoy it.

CCC CNC NCN-Suicidio Modo D`Uso-(Nautilus-Italy-1989)

In this vinyl-masterpiece anarchist/dadaist collective CCC CNC NCN presents some amazing old school industrial music with radical lyrics about :prisons,death,life and freedom.It came out with a cool 12 page b/w booklet reporting lyrics and ideas about the subject,unfortunately only in italian language.For who is not familiar with this project here a note from a discogs page:Anonymous noise/performance collective from Torino, Italy. Spawning from the anarchic/antagonist underground scene, CCC CNC NCN combine an extreme old school industrial sound with conceptual records and live shows about unpopular topics, such as suicide as extreme choice of freedom, mass control and oppression.Their myspace page is here.
