Album Notes & Community Reviews
Operating at the volatile intersection of complex progressive rock and sharp political theater, the Italian collective delivers an energetic, folk-inflected set. The music heavily utilizes unconventional acoustic instrumentation, striking vocal harmonies, and frantic time changes to underscore its militant, left-wing lyrical themes. The group was a key founding member of the influential Rock in Opposition (RIO) movement.
