Mars

 It is a strongly amateur band, dabbling in the commonplaces of independent rock by gathering a handful of traceable influences.

 The abrasiveness of the vocal style, very pronounced compared to the context, is the only true element of personality: a bit too little, and all in all not even that well spent.

 Explore Archers of Loaf's 'Vee Vee' to form your own opinion on this raw indie rock gem.

 This double LP shows a mature group, capable of composing elaborate songs, with frequent mood changes, yet very geometric and serial in structure.

 Dive into Polvo's Exploded Drawing and discover a unique blend of experimental rock and expressive songwriting today.

 Karate is one of those rare bands in the indie scene that has managed to maintain a very distinct and "classical" rock imprint, while offering at the same time a music that is intense, personal, and emotionally impactful.

 The band’s ability to play with dynamics reaches its peak, and Farina’s lyrics—always personal and incisive—remain etched in memory.
