Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti
Il Sogno Del Gorilla Bianco

LA RECENSIONE

I'm going crazy trying to start this review because I can't come up with a precise definition of the genre that Tarm play. Which is really frustrating because these guys from Pordenone make pure and simple rock, maybe with some synths here and there (not many, to be honest), but you can't definitely say they're doing something innovative.
Nevertheless, they're doing something that has never been done before in Italy.
Because El Tofo is not joking when he sings "Venghino!! Signori venghino!! Tre allegrei ragassi morti suoneranno, canteranno e balleranno per voi l'incredibile spetaculo dela vida, l'incredibile spetaculo dela muerte! Haehhh!!!!!!"
In fact, this latest album leaves behind the purely adolescent themes and adopts a broader thematic field, ranging from personal topics like "Povero Me" to venturing into a sort of political protest (the very first time for them) in "Il Mondo" and "Bella Italia". All of this assumes the disillusioned tone of those who have realized that the world goes as it wants and not according to adolescent ideals.
Growing-Italian Rock is the new un-genre that, with their chronological-intellectual growth, Tarm represent because they are not like Offspring who at 40 are still hailed by crowds of 15-year-old Sk8ers, but have shown they can engage ethically with the passage of time.
And from my modest point of view, I consider this a positive thing.
