PABLO! Banned

 There are albums that stop time, that put you on standby.

 The spoken word, the stories narrated by Clementi leave no doubt: he is the director, the demagogue, the eye on the world.

Massimo Volume’s album Da Qui creates a silent, introspective atmosphere where music and spoken word blend into a collective yet private catharsis. It's distinguished by its spontaneous nature, avoiding attempts to recreate previous works like Lungo i Bordi. The album particularly shines at night, evoking strong emotions and deep reflection. The collaboration between Clementi and Egle Sommacal shapes both narrative and musical elements, delivering an intense and theatrical listening experience. Experience the deep, poetic world of Massimo Volume’s Da Qui—listen now and let the night reveal its power.

 A musical collective of 26 members that gives away their albums from their website, endowed with such spontaneous and genuine foolishness that it becomes fundamental.

 If you’re in a good mood and your Pavement records have worn out, replace them with the new fools in the circle. It will do you good.

 Maximum respect for Greg Ginn and his band of merrymakers who, once they had canonized Hardcore with "Damaged", proudly turning up the volume.

 BOOM: everyone laid out on the ground. The record is over. Go in peace or play it again and get busy.

The review praises Black Flag's 'Loose Nut' as a fearless evolution from their hardcore roots established by 'Damaged'. With slowed riffs and experimental influences, the band shows their versatility and rebellious spirit. The album features powerful tracks marked by intense guitar riffs and Henry Rollins' passionate vocals. Overall, it is celebrated as a seminal work reflecting the band's prolific and innovative nature in 1985. Listen to Black Flag's 'Loose Nut' and experience the raw evolution of hardcore punk at its best!

 Curt Kirkwood - perpetually on acid - pushes the boundaries of what can be done with music, towards a sound as surreal as it is paradoxical.

 This first and self-titled “Meat Puppets” resides in another galaxy, cartoonish with pastel colors, made of psychedelic trips.

The review nostalgically recalls the 1982 release of Meat Puppets' debut album, highlighting its unique fusion of rural hardcore punk and psychedelic rock. Curt Kirkwood's raw voice and guitar work push musical boundaries to create a surreal, almost cartoonish soundscape. The album stands apart from their later works, offering a distinct, trippy experience that captures the band's early creative spirit. Dive into Meat Puppets' debut album and experience the original psychedelic hardcore journey!

 If the Wire of 'Pink Flag' were cats, soaking wet, closed in a sack and beaten with clubs, once they came out alive and free from the torture, they would have sounded like the Feederz.

 'Jesus' is the first testament to their passage in this world.

Feederz' 'Jesus' 7-inch from 1980 is a raw and defiant minimalist punk record that challenged hardcore norms. Led by the provocative Frank Discussion in Phoenix's burgeoning scene, the band embraced imperfection and rebellion. Their music, faster and sicker than contemporaries, symbolizes a radical punk ethos that remains relevant beyond its era. Discover the raw energy of Feederz' 'Jesus' and dive into punk's wild underground roots now!

 Tar ended up in the limbo of "who are they?" and I don’t doubt they suspected it from the start.

 You cannot ignore TAR and my thanks to the hopelessly freak souls, with vinyl walls at home, and to their advice.

The review reflects on Tar's 1991 album Jackson as an overlooked but essential act in the 90s post-rock and alternative scene. Despite strong connections with influential bands and producers, Tar remained largely unrecognized. The album features stripped-down, minimalistic riffs and impressive melodies, influencing later artists. The review encourages re-evaluating Tar's place in rock history with appreciation for their unique style. Explore Tar's Jackson album and rediscover a hidden 90s post-rock treasure today!

 "Bad Brains is the politically incorrect version of 'Rock For Light.' It’s the Hardcore version of one of those records that makes Hardcore."

 "Warning: if you are between 15 and 50 years old and feel deeply pissed off, this music might seriously harm your already unstable balance."

The review highlights Bad Brains' 1982 debut as a seminal hardcore punk album, characterized by raw intensity, speed, and uncompromising energy. It contrasts this album with their later 'Rock for Light,' emphasizing the debut’s heavier, more ferocious sound. The band stands out as an exception within a largely white hardcore scene, bringing a powerful political and social message rooted in youth rebellion. The album's 15 tracks deliver an intellectual and physical outburst representative of the hardcore spirit. Dive into Bad Brains' explosive debut and experience hardcore punk at its rawest and most powerful!

 There are albums that surpass their beauty with charm.

 'Lungs' is one of those parties held at some unknown person’s house, which you attended by mistake and that ends with you collapsed on some unknown person’s couch.

The review reflects on Big Black's 'Lungs' as a uniquely original and charming New Wave album from 1982. It highlights Steve Albini’s early solo effort and the experimental rawness. Despite its age, the album retains a compelling and distinct sound. The work evokes a sense of nostalgia with an Illinois twist on New Wave music. Overall, it receives a moderate but appreciative rating. Explore Big Black's 'Lungs' and experience the raw charm of early Steve Albini's unique New Wave sound.

 One of those albums that satisfies, but doesn’t complete, leaving you contemplating the continuation of a story that’s inevitably over.

 I have found my new Neil Young, perhaps a bit more romantic and less of a romantic hero.

This review explores Bon Iver's 2009 EP 'Blood Bank', highlighting Justin Vernon's artistic shift from his debut album. The EP is noted for its concise format, refined song forms, and reduced falsetto use. It maintains the emotional intimacy of previous works while signaling growth and maturity. The reviewer draws a favorable comparison to Neil Young, emphasizing the EP's romantic yet grounded tone. Listen to Bon Iver's 'Blood Bank' EP to experience a haunting and intimate indie folk evolution.

 A decision made and imposed with a caress. This is the music of the Black Heart Procession.

 An album by the Black Heart Procession... in its repetition, in the cyclical expression of its concept, is a religious experience.

This review explores the intimate and melancholic atmosphere of The Black Heart Procession's album 'Three'. Described as delicate yet determined, the music combines folk ballads with indie rock influences. The album's cyclical themes create a deeply emotional, almost religious listening experience. The reviewer highlights the sweet melancholy and poetic nature of the songs, inviting listeners to surrender to its charm. Listen to 'Three' and immerse yourself in its haunting, delicate melodies and emotional depth.
