Skopje, North Macedonia: hometown not only of Mother Teresa, but also of Fol Jazik - the first Macedonian punk rock band ever!

Blaue Reiter was a seminal post punk band from Alessandria, not so far from Turin. They appeared in autumn 1982 on the compilation “Gathered” edited by “Rockerilla”, who at the time was the leading magazine for anyone interested in the new rock trends.

“Incredible but true!”, cioè “incredible ma vero!”. Queste le parole scritte a mano sulla costina di una cassetta Basf che conservavo in archivio da quando Chris Bianco me la affidò, ere geologiche fa: nulla di meglio per intitolare un album contenente incisioni con quarantaquattro anni sulle spalle di una band che in vita non aveva pubblicato nulla.

Romanzo della realtà, Decennio rosso è il primo tentativo di mostrare i cosiddetti “anni di piombo” ponendosi dal punto di vista di chi compì la scelta rivoluzionaria della lotta armata. E lo fa cercando di rispondere a quella domanda che la politica e la storia contemporanea tutt’oggi rifiutano di porsi: perché negli anni ‘70 migliaia di giovani hanno contestato il potere costituito fino al punto di mettere pesantemente in gioco la propria vita e imbracciare le armi?

“Noi conquisteremo la Luna” ripropone tutti gli articoli, le recensioni e le interviste sul post-punk italiano firmati dal decano Federico Guglielmi fra il 1980 e il 1985, con appena un pizzico di editing per salvaguardare lo spirito entusiastico e naif dell’epoca.

Hunter were formed during the summer of ‘79 in the Isle Of Wight.

It was 1979 and, rising from the ashes of Italian punk groups like Hitlers, Mr. Plastic Girls were back to shout out to the world that Punk wasn’t dead (at least not in Pordenone) coming back with their brand new band called Waalt Diisneey Production!

Blackout Records rediscovered 10 original studio tracks recorded between 1977 and 1982 by the original Washington DC punks!
