Today I'm fit again, yesterday's rest was good and before I rip a slab that wasn't cheap, first a bit of loud & fast music from the far northwestern corner of Italy, Aosta, by Kina, formed in December 1982 by Alberto (guitar/vocals), Giampiero (bass/vocals), Sergio (drums/vocals) and were active till 1997. Irreale Realtà is Kina's first album on Blu Bus Records and affirmed them as one of the most original bands of the European hardcore punk scene. The tracks were recorded in October 1984 in Synergy Studio in Chivasso, and four songs live which were recorded during a concert @ the K.O.B. in Berlin on 27. July 1984. A short review by Ken Sanderson MMR: "This three-piece’s fifteen-song debut LP, was originally self-released in 1985, and hung around a melodic core, but was and is very much a savage hardcore record with pummeling, speedy thrash that sparks and rages like the best moments of early Italian hardcore. Caustic vocals shouted in Italian hurl angry missives towards authority and power, but the lyrics are also inwardly reflective, personal, and thoughtful. It’s a good choice to start if you’ve either never heard the band, four tracks are live and shed some of the sheen that the flange guitar gives the studio recording for wild effluence of melody, shouted vocals, and high energy blasting." The band is on numerous compilations and I posted their '86 Troppo Lontano EP years ago. Includes three photocopied & stapled sheets with infos, lyrics and band pictures. Solid Stuff!
