mi mancavano questi,fantastici

[@botti64]

sounds a lot like sorella maldestra

[@raykeeler6466]

Sounds a lot like an arty rich kid putting on a fake accent.

@@raykeeler6466 Again, not correct. He is 100% Italian but was born London, and Italian was actually his first language so I’m unclear at how that could possibly be ‘fake’.

Talking about the fake council estate hardman accent mate

[@fuzzyjon]

@@raykeeler6466 It’s just a gruff singing style and there was never any pretence at hardness, it’s not about that at all. All the songs are about strength through unity and sticking to what you believe in no matter what form of authority is trying to suppress you. Just about being yourself and the best version of yourself you can be whatever that might be and not through any kind of violence. It’s pretty naive to think that everyone who lives is council housing is ‘hard’ and speaks with a ‘hard accent’... that’s a ridiculous thing to say, mate.

[@raykeeler6466]

Yeah I exactly said and of course believe that everyone from a council house is a hard case. Well played mate, you got one over on me. I watched the art school video with the singer of the 'band', and enjoyed the goth hair, outfit, and Prince Charles accent. All he needs is a handbag. Not going to keep responding and not going to lower myself to keyboard abuse just remember that however long you claim to have been listening to whatever you claim, posing is shit.

Fake Oi. Studio project by a rich kid

[@fuzzyjon]

The recording has always been clearly stated as a studio project. It was recorded during pandemic lockdown which was the last boy option possible and I even played bass on the early recordings. As for rich.... him and his wife work multiple jobs non-stop to provide for their family, so your information is incorrect.

Information on skinhead forums tells me different mate

[@fuzzyjon]

@@raykeeler6466 We are in our mid-40s and have been listening to Cock Sparrer, Cockney, The Redskins, The Business, Menace, Blitz, Camera Silens, Last Resort etc since we were teenagers in school, so there’s nothing fraudulent at all. There’s a lot of mention of ‘kid’ but the guy is a middle-aged man! So you can see how wrong this information is. We have spent the last 20+ years releasing records, putting bands on, doing sound for bands, playing in bands, touring and distributing punk records from all over the world... That's fine if you want to believe a skinhead forum post versus someone who has known him for 20 years. I guess it's up-to you, but at least I know the truth.

[@JusticeNotPolitics83]

Even if he was rich, I don't see what the problem is. This is good music.

[@yami564]

Is this in Spanish?

[@LoboAttitudine]

What do you mean? The label who released it is spanish

[@Morphstock]

Italian
