THE WOPS

SPOTS

RURI #07 (LP)

Quaranta anni dopo lo scioglimento della mitica band veneziana, questa antologia raccoglie tutte le registrazioni in studio dei Wops, che in tempo reale avevano pubblicato solo quattro brani e due demo tape autoprodotti nel 1981 e 1983. Grandissimo punk rock con deviazioni hardcore californiane. Le 24 tracce sono state rimasterizzate e l’album è corredato da un booklet contente foto, flyer e tante note biografiche. Un’uscita attesa da anni, finalmente disponibile!

Decennio Rosso

BOOKS #06 (BOOK)

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?
