La Rabbia - Ideological Weapons

  

  La Rabbia, the London outfit influenced by the likes of Crass, Crisis & The Mob and featuring the distinctive vocals of No Front Teeth Records' Marco Palumbo, have only been active for a couple of year but they've built up a pretty impressive body of work. 2019's debut album Shock Tactics was great, the following year's Consumed By Paranoia And Fear (a great title which aptly sums up their atmospheric sound) was even better. They didn't hang around after that, releasing the 24 track In The Face Of Atrocities just 4 months later. 

  And now we've a couple more releases on the way. April 1st will bring us a 4 track ep titled The Setting In Motion Of Horrific Events and a single called Ideological Weapons. I don't notice much of a change in direction from the band. It's more tightly wound, 80's influenced, dark anarcho post punk. Check 'em out here :   https://larabbia.bandcamp.com/

  This is the lead track on the single, I'm not sure if it's inspired by the Franz J Hinkelammert book Ideological Weapons Of Death: A Theological Critique Of Capitalism but I'm guessing that's maybe something the band would write about. It's called Ideological Weapons... 

La Rabbia - Suspect

  La Rabbia are a London based band inspired by the likes of Crass, Crisis, The Mob, Eater, Wire etc. They're very much part of the No Front Teeth Records' (https://www.nofrontteeth.co.uk/) family fitting in well with that label's punk n roll sound and featuring members of bands such as The Gaggers and Miscalculations.

  Last year saw them release debut album Shock Tactics, an impressive political post punk calling card that caused a lot of discerning ears to prick up. They recently returned with follow up Consumed By Paranoia And Fear and it's every bit as vital as it's predecessor. The band's name translates from Italian to English as Anger and that's an emotion very much in evidence on this 14 track anarchic delight. The distinctive vocals of frontman Marco Palumbo will be familiar to many of you and combine well with music that acts as a bleak but inventive soundtrack to the era we're living in.
