NO SPOILER - When It´s Over

  

  How's this for a press release... "They blend masterfully 77 punk, power pop, glam, indie rock and much more. For fans of 999 , PROTEX, RUDI, THE WASPS, THE BUZZCOCKS, THE UNDERTONES, THE PLIMSOULS, CINECYDE, THE OUTCASTS and even such different bands like SLADE, GIUDA or HUSKER Du." 

  Well it made me want to listen...

  NO SPOILER (https://www.facebook.com/NoSpoilerBand) are from Rome and I think they're new to me though to be honest, I listen to so much music it's equally likely that I've played them on the show years ago and forgotten about it (this seems to be a regular occurrence!). 

 [Edit. Just before posting this update I double checked and the band aren't new to me, I featured a song from them in 2019 : https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2019/07/no-spoiler-satana.html]. 

  Anyway, the press release was announcing the band's upcoming album Ghosting. It'll be out on March 15th and available on vinyl (white or black) and digital download via the ever reliable Take The City Records. You can check out 3 of the tracks from it here :  https://takethecityrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ghosting-lp

  All 3 are great so it doesn't really matter which one I highlight but I'm going with this catchy as fuck blending of 77 era punk and power pop. It's guaranteed to have you singing along and it's called When It's Over... 

No Spoiler - Satana

  No Spoiler are from Rome and play a mix of garage punk and glam rock. They formed in April 2017 and feature a line up of Marco (guitar/vocals), Gianka (drums) and Sterbus (bass). They recently released their debut album, it's titled Please! and you can find it streaming here :   https://nospoiler.bandcamp.com/releases

  So what does it sound like? To be honest I was pretty much hooked after the first couple of seconds of lead track Teenage Lust. Some tracks are garage rockers which bring to mind fellow countrymen Idol Lips (No Spoilers frontman Marco Cicchella guested on their Street Values album lending his vocals to Feelin' Blue https://idollips.bandcamp.com/track/feelin-blue). Other tracks (such as Game Of Mirrors and Wide Open) are 70's glam stompers that conjure up images of glitter, satin and platform boots. All in all a very enjoyable album.

  All the tracks have English lyrics except the one I'm sharing today but as it's the first single and they've made a video then it'd be rude not to feature it. This is Satana...

Non devi consultare l’internazionale
per imparare a vivere.
Non c’è la panacea nella farmacopea
in cui ti ostini a indulgere

Cosmopolitan mente
L’apericena è alienante
Ascolta la soluzione
che il poeta propone.

Invoca Satana, Satana, Satana

Se sei una fagiolina, priva di autostima e non risolvi l’edipo.
Se instagrammi e twitti, su whatsapp ti sbatti ma non hai mai seguito

esiste un’alternativa
alla follia collettiva,
ai selfie photoshoppati
ai corpi scarabocchiati

Questo è un mondo d’amore
Questo è un mondo d’amore
Questo è un mondo d’amore
Questo è un mondo d’amore

Invoca Satana, Satana, Satana
