Well you know, who is remembering the 80s today did not live them… 🙂 Seriously, it has been a nice time: in that period many new things have come out in our music genre. New stuff, something people had never heard before. It was the birth of a scene which we felt like a family, with relatives scattered all around the world… I remember that releasing a tape with your music, and hearing the positive reactions from the people, to me was much more satisfactory than releasing a CD today.Read more »

Posted inPre Orders,Raw Power,Releaseson March 21st, 2012 by Giulio Foad

WE’LL START TO SHIP ON APRIL 1st 2012.

FOAD Recordshas prepared another great album you will not want to miss: a collection of very earlyRAW POWERmaterial, 31 songs of pure energetic Italian Hardcore fury! Side A contains an official re-issue of the band’s debut Demotape from 1983 remastered from the 1st generation sources/tapes provided by the band, now for the very first time on vinyl!!

On the B Side, you get theLive at “Jockey Club” (Newport / KY / USA, Sept. 4th 1984),15 songs (many of which completely unreleased and appearing for the first time ever on vinyl) re-equalized and remastered from a 2 channel master found by an oldRAW POWER‘s roadie. Highly influential Italian Hardcore at its top: fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals combined with the screaming mad assault of songs such as “Fuck authority”, “Raw power” and “Don’t let me see it” that gave a vital input to tons of other like minded speed/HC maniacs to come in later years. They were the first Italian HC band touring the USA, and the one that brought Italian Hardcore on the international music map. This records testifies the energy and the compromised “raw power” they had on stage back then!Read more »
