A band out of London, UK that sings in Italian? Well, with over 270 nationalities living in Britain’s capital – pre-Brexit anyway – anything is possible, but it makes a unique selling point nonetheless! The band in question, Zanzara – who just released their first release ever, the “Gli Occhi Dello Stato” LP! Delivering that raw, brickwall sound of the 80’s – Zanzara delivers a dozen of anthems that sound authentic, yet relevant – much alike French outfit Rixe. It’s no surprise then that the sound of these Italian Londoners is influenced by the likes of Nabat and early Klasse Kriminale (easy comparisons of course, because of the shared language), though you can easily spoon up a list of bands from the “Chaos En France”-era as well. Along with a healthy dose of nihilistic post-punk riffs, a deliberate lo-fi production and killer song structures, Zanzara delivers a fairly brilliant debut that keeps captivating over and over again!
