Detonazione

Italian post-punk/New Wave band combining post-punk energy with a progressive-jazz imprint; led by saxophonist Bruno Romani (mentioned in reviews).

The compilation 'Sorvegliare e Punire 1983/1984' gathers the first album, a couple of EPs, and a handful of tracks featured on collective compilations. The band's sound mixes post-punk and New Wave with progressive-jazz influences and references (Zappa, Area, Napoli Centrale); a track title references Foucault ('Discipline and Punish').

A highly positive review presents Detonazione as a post-punk/New Wave act with a progressive jazz imprint. The compilation Sorvegliare e Punire 1983/1984 gathers early album, EPs and compilation tracks. Review praises unpredictability, warmth, and references to Foucault.

For:Fans of post-punk, New Wave, Italian Wave, and listeners who appreciate progressive-jazz inflected experimental rock.
