about

After a few demo tracks released only in digital, this Italian duo from Sondrio, north of Italy, brings us their first physical release in the shape of a flexi 7" with 4 tracks (+intro) of crispy, sort of claustrophobic, mid-tempo distorted punk.

80's italian punk/hardcore is a great source of desperate atmospheres fed on dissonances, noisy backgrounds, chaotic display and labyrinthine soundscapes. Bands like Wretched, Impact, Kina, Indigesti or Dioxina were some of the true masters at the craft. Althought Scalpo doesn't sound like any of the mentioned above, they have no problem in taking various influences of crude and bleak music, drinking from different sources to shape up their own "Psicoguerra Punk", gloomy mid-tempo distorted punk full of angst and desperation.

Just take as an example the song "Illusioni", a 1:19 minutes track with 6 different parts that don't repeat: no chorus, no verse, fuck that. Just 6 unique slaps of raw awesomeness. Listening to it it's like not knowing where the fuck you are going but enjoying the ride to the max.
Welcome to SCALPO's trip!

This silver foil stamped flexi 7" is housed a cardstock coloured inner bag with a Scalpo logo sticker on the top right corner and wrapped in a 350gr cardstock open jacket.

I saw tons of great bands in the 80s at places like The Mabhuy Gardens, Thw Farm, and Gilman Street Project. Those bands had a sound and feeling that's hard to sum up--- they were Lo-Fi even thougb many were accomplished musicians,they were raw and crucial and provided a soundtrack for pissed off yourh who WERE going to be heard whether the system liked it or not----- sneak into the back entrance or kick in the door----- it didnt matter which. Condor sounds snd feels like some of the great 80s hardcore and punk bands that shaped the Punk/ Hardcore landscape of today. im not surprised-- this is a one man operation from the drummer of Rixe If you are into French Punk and Oi it is CRIMINAL not tp have this in your collection..
