The Blues Against Youth
You Said I Praise the Devil? EP
(4tx 7'' vinyl - 2012 Deer it Yourself rec)
| freddie koratella
Roma è famosa in tutto il mondo per i suoi monumenti che a livello pratico troppo spesso sono anche la sua peggior rovina; credo che vivere per secoli nell'autocompiacimento estetico ci abbia fatto perdere quella sana visione di confrontarsi con gli altri. Ma scavando bene nel sottosuolo, come insegnano gli infiniti lavori per la Metro C, la nostra città può portare alla luce anche alcuni movimenti sotterranei che, dal punto di vista musicale e monobanda in particolare, di strada ne stanno facendo parecchia. The Blues Against Youth meriterebbe una statua per la qualità sonora che dalla capitale, con irrefrenabile costanza, esporta in giro per i club di mezza Italia e mezza Europa. Già dal nome del nostrano one man band si intuisce che, a differenza del proverbiale fancazzismo romano, c'è poca voglia di scherzare; dal 2009 infatti ha già prodotto diversi demo, una manciata di 7', un Lp – alcuni dei quali già fuori catalogo - segno che la voglia di fare non manca.
Fresco di uscita You Said I Praise The Devil? EP si presenta con un 45 giri in veste gialla e buco largo. Si parte con la title track e i giovani sono subito avvertiti … ascoltiamo uno di quei blues che ti fa scendere facilmente a patti con il diavolo. Die Whit the Rat in Your Muth raggiunge sonorità al limite del punk come il peggiore dei party a cui siete mai stati invitati; non può che finire in tragedia. Un pezzo di quelli rari, da avere sia nella discografia sia nell'armadio a firma Simone Lucciola, uno che di sfregi punk se ne intende.
Il secondo lato inizia con Mama Tried, cover del country man M. Haggard. La campagna laziale forse non sarà sconfinata come quella statunitense; ma come diceva Don Buro in Vacanze in America “beata l'ignoranza quando si sta bene di mente, de core e de panza”. Il tutto si chiude con Would You Please Click Like Me? una cantilena r'n'r' che credo ironizzi su un certo modo di usare i social network; con tutta la smania di popolarità che c'è in rete spesso si finisce per rimanerci impigliati.
Una produzione matura questa di The Blues Against Youth. Unica nota negativa la busta trasparente con chiusura adesiva. La odio cazzo.
Rome is worldwide famous for its monuments, which, actually, on a practical level, are often its worst side; I think that living for centuries in self-aesthetic made us lose that healthy vision to compete with others. But digging into the ground, as taught by the endless works on the Metro C, our city can bring to light even some underground movements which are going far, from a musical point of view - one-man band especially. The Blues Against Youth would deserve a statue for the sound quality he - with relentless perseverance - export from the capital to the rest of Italy and all over Europe.
Since the name of our national one-man band, it is clear that, unlike the proverbial Roman fancazzismo (take it for 'typical Roman idleness'), there is not much to laugh about; since 2009, he has already produced several demos, a handful of 7'', one full-length LP - most already out of print - a sign of his straight will of doing something.
Fresh out, You Said I Praise The Devil? EP comes as 45 rpm disc, yellow coloured, with a big round hole. It starts with the title track and the young are immediately warned... a kind of those blues which makes you easily drop to pacts with the devil. Die Whit the Rat in Your Muth reaches the edge of the punk sound like the worst party to which you have not been invited, - and it can only end up in tragedy. One of those rare pieces, to have both in the discography and in the closet, signed by Simone Lucciola, a folk pretty experienced with punk scars. The second side begins with Mama Tried, originally by country heroe M. Haggard. The Lazio countryside might not be as boundless as the U.S., but in the words of Don Buro from Vacanze in America “beata l'ignoranza quando si sta bene di mente, de core e de panza” ("blissful ignorance when you feel good mentally, core and de de belly.")
It all ends with Would You Please Click Like Me? a chant r'n'r ' - I think - laughing at the use of social networks; with all the eagerness of popularity you find online, often you end up entangled there. A mature production The Blues Against Youth. The only negative note: the transparent disc envelope with adhesive closure. I fucking hate it.
