Bologna-based Windopen are presented in DeBaser reviews as a late 1970s/early 1980s pub-rock/punk band with raw energy and memorable singles. Reviewers praise the band's immediacy and brass-infused arrangements while noting a recent reissue's polished production that softens the original grit. Key songs cited include "Sei In Banana Dura" and "Quando i baci erano fiocchi." The band's early cassette Wind Open Rock! and a 1986 single are also discussed.

For:Fans of late 1970s/early 1980s Italian rock, punk and pub-rock; listeners interested in Bologna's indie scene and archival reissues.

 Windopen are simply a band that, without forcing the classic music schemes of rock, manages to be innovative, expressing itself simply through a different attitude.

 Among all the tracks I listened to at the time, the one I remember most fondly is, however, “Sei in banana dura” by the Windopen, a Bologna-based band active between the late ’70s and early ’80s, which disappeared over the years due to their proud refusal to leave the independent scene and to record albums with major labels, known to some for being the first professional band of that Roberto Terzani who, in the ’90s, would worthily replace Gianni Maroccolo as the bassist of the Litfiba during their rock transition.
