 Just two years after the repression by the regime of "Charta 77," Zikkurat gives a fresh challenge to the "authorities" who are clueless about how to deal with such a concocted tongue in cheek on the CD.

 These guys in 1980 were, in addition to post-punk, already post-Berlin Wall with a decade in advance, and post-capitalists to boot.

The band’s dark, psychedelic post-punk sound carries a deep social and political charge emerging from Czechoslovakia’s oppressive regime era.

 This seems to have happened also to Between Changes And Me... eager to make their proposal as appealing and captivating as possible.

 BeCoMe shows us a band still unripe in terms of style but equipped with good ideas and a team... to ensure the project can grow in the short term.

The band's attempt to blend rock, pop-punk, and core styles results in a mixed listening experience that lacks stylistic cohesion. Standout tracks like 'Saturday Night's For Fighting' and 'Still' highlight this diversity but also the band's indecision. The reviewer suggests the band focus more on rock to carve a unique space in the Italian music scene. Discover Between Changes And Me's debut 'BeCoMe' and explore their blend of rock and alternative sounds today!

 One of the most iconic images of the glorious Sub Pop era we remember well: Tad Doyle in a wet white t-shirt, displaying all the lard and hair on his chest, and the word LOSER dominating.

 White Dog, indeed, is a film about racism. A film, needless to say, strongly, radically against racism.

 There is no racism in a dog, even when trained to attack a black man. The dog acts out of fear and hatred that is scientifically instilled in it by man through systematic and long-perpetuated violence.

Samuel Fuller's White Dog is a profound and controversial film addressing racism through a unique metaphor of a dog trained to attack black people. Despite censorship and misunderstanding, Fuller's intelligent direction and Morricone's soundtrack make it a powerful anti-racism statement. The film explores deep societal hatred and the difficulty of eradicating ingrained racism. It is considered one of the best films of the 1980s and Fuller's career. Watch Samuel Fuller's White Dog for a challenging and unforgettable film experience tackling racism head-on.
