Los Fastidios - Xxx The Number Of The Beat [LP]

11th album for LOS FASTIDIOS, the Italian band on the road since 1991, celebrating this year their 30th anniversary. 13 new songs in the classic LOS FASTIDIOS tradition: an explosive mixture of sounds of the street, from streetpunk to rock'n'roll, from 2Tone ska to rocksteady rhytms, from indie brit pop to streetsoul, sung in Italian, English and French. A great album to sing and dance, that will make the joy of all the fans of the band and not only them. Lyrics ranging from fun to social commitment, addressing issues such as racism, repression, human rights and animal rights, freedom, subcultures, unity, all with that positive and proactive attitude typical of Los Fastidios. It was not easy to realize un album at the same level to the previous Joy Joy Joy, that by the insiders, had been defined, the best work of the band, but this time the 5 Italian rudies went beyond !!! An album full of hope, energy, passion, in the name of fun and to entertain the listeners, an album to sing, to dance, to think. An album written during the pandemic, during the lockdown, carefully arranged songs, an album recorded almost complitely in the home studio of Bibol (guitarplayer), a real "do it yourself" job. Only the drumset were recorded at the Animal Studio in Ferrara (I) by Federico Viola while mixing and mastering at the La Distilleria Produzioni Musicali in Bassano (I) by Maurizio "Icio" Baggio. In the album special guest on keyboards, Andrea Massaroni (Shandon, The Magnetics) and The Urgonauts and LennonKelly on backing vocals. Artwork cover realized by Andrea THE AND Sartori, which in the past designed other old Los Fastidios album covers.
