Los Fastidios - Let's Do It (CD, Album)

Label: Kob

Five years after the All'Arrembaggio album, Los Fastidios are back with the new full-length record LET'S DO IT!!! Produced by Kob Records (the label of Los Fastidios singer Enrico), LET'S DO IT reflects all the characteristics of the band, from the sound to the lyrics. The opener is the punk rock 'n' roll glam anthem LET'S A.F.A. (a hymn to the Anti-Fascist Action), followed by the 2-tone ska hit SKANKIN' IN THE GHETTO (about the multiracial districts, the real heart of our towns), featuring special guest and good friend of the band De Veggent from Redska (an Italian ska-punk band) on keyboards. You will find a touch of Latin ska combat punk in the song EL PRESIDENTE (dedicated to Gigi Fresco, the President/Trainer of Virtus Verona, the third football team in Verona, known for its social commitment and its anti-fascist supporters, among them Los Fastidios, big fans of the team). The next song, LAST PINT OF CIDER IN GLASGOW, is about a famous Celtic FC pub in Glasgow that closed a couple of months ago after a couple of fights broke out in front of it. The following danceable song is called CORRI RUDEBOY, a 100% ska-reggae track featuring the famous Italian reggae rude boy Vacca. With ANTIFA BOXER, you get a melodic punk rock song, a hymn to all the anti-fascist boxers (first among them Lenny Bottai from Livorno) and Palestre Popolari (anti-fascist gyms organized throughout Italy and connected with the Centri Sociali movement). With a tribute to the legendary Trojan Records, founded in the UK in 1968, you get a trip to the rocksteady sound of IN 1968, followed by tough ska-punk with LA MIA VITA, a song dedicated to everyone living a troubled life, and DA FIGLIO A PADRE, a punk rock song urging fathers and old activists not to leave their sons alone in their struggles. With a cover of DIRTY OLD TOWN, a tribute to The Pogues and The Specials, the record comes to an end... A sad and melancholy moment in the album arrives with the song THINK ABOUT THEM (about the suffering inflicted by men on the animal world; animal rights have always been a theme in Los Fastidios' music). The last song on the record, UNITI SI VINCE, is a classic punk oi! anthem about the unity between young and old, from the streets to the factories to the terraces. That unity Los Fastidios always sing for... and then drink your cold beer and enjoy the music!!!! Let's do it!!!
