The Chromosomes - Watchin' airplanes
pic by Silvy Silvicious
The Chromosomes are a 3 piece pop punk band from Livorno in Italy who formed in 1993 and who are influenced by The Ramones and The Beach Boys etc. Their line up features Massimiliano Morandi (vocals/guitar), Luca Sardi (bass/vocals) and Matteo Paganelli (drums).
As well as a bunch of eps and split releases they've also released several albums. You can find a number of these releases on Bandcamp. More band info is available on Facebook and on their blog :

Their most recent release was last year's Losing Eleven. An album with cool cover art and 11 songs about goalkeepers in padded shirts, teddy bear cuddling heavy metal kids, pretty girls on late night tv shows, rowdy hula dancers etc, it's great fun. As well as the digital version, there's a cd available from Striped Music.... http://www.stripedmusic.com/
There's loads of bands playing this kind of music but on the evidence of Losing Eleven I think it's fair to say The Chromosomes are Champions League class (if they were a football team they'd be battling away with the likes of The Manges, The Apers and DeeCracks in Europes biggest competition. Check them out.
Looking out of my window as I type this, the sun's out, the mercury is rising, it's gonna be a great day. Perfect for lying back and Watchin' Airplanes....
Airplanes
cruisin' above our heads
here on our favourite spot
lyin' on the hood of my car
You and me
starin' at the blue sky
tryin' to guess where they come from
with a load of stories
And if the rain falls down
we don't care at all - just 'cause
we're watchin' airplanes
wonderin' places
lookin' up straight in the blue
we're watchin' airplanes
stories and faces
flyin' up deep in the blue
Who's up there?
Are they scared to watch down?
From those little windows
Maybe they could see us
You and me
starin' at the blue sky
tryin' to guess where they come from
with a load of stories
And if the wind blows strong
we don't care at all - just cause
we're watchin' airplanes
wonderin' places
lookin' up straight in the blue
we're watchin' airplanes
stories and faces
flyin' up deep in the blue
I must tell you I was afraid to fly
that I could not breathe
You give me strength I'm lucky
to have you here with me
