The Dirtiest - Quando C'era Lui

    


  The Dirtiest (https://www.facebook.com/dirtiest/) are a garage punk trio from Florence, Italy, featuring a line up of Luca Cascino (Vocals, Bass, Drums), Fabio 'Billy Boy' Ghiribelli (Guitar, Backing Vocals) and Zak (Drums). They released a debut ep, titled Alarm, in 2016 which earned them comparisons with Black Lips. Their 2018 follow up ep, Centro Shot, was my first exposure to them (this time around comparisons were justifiably made to The Spits and Ramones). 




  Now they're gearing up to release a debut album, it'll be titled Sovranista and it's out on April 9th via Slovenly Recordings (https://www.slovenly.com/). We've been teased with a couple of tracks. Ti Piscio Sul Presepe suggests that the Ramones influence will still be very much front and centre and you can hear it (and pre order the vinyl version of the album) here :  https://thedirtiestit.bandcamp.com/album/the-dirtiest-sovranista-lp 

  The other track is in the same vein and translates as When He Was There. From what I can make out it's an anti fascist song (tying in with the cover image of bodies hanging from lampposts and maybe inspired by the 1978 Italian comedy film of the same name???). It's called Quando C'era Lui...
