I've never been to Italy as a visitor, and frankly, I feel like I've barely scratched the surface as a musical visitor. Yes, I just posted about We Were Never Being Boring, an Italian label. And I frequently post about Almost Halloweentime Records, but both of these labels don't necessarily focus on Italian music. And as far as I'm aware, there's never been an Italian sound.
Chow were formed in 2013 "after the demise of two bands, Tunas and Classmates." Their Bandcamp page states that they are from Bologna, Italy. "Eternal Lopez" is a one-sided LP and wears its influences on its sleeves. In fact, the Bandcamp page proudly states: "their debut album, “Ancient Gentle Tower” in 2020, [was] a training trip through a psychedelic punk rock, tinged with Hüsker Dü, Wipers and Screaming Trees references and with a 60’s Detroit feel. “Eternal Lopez” is their new work, with seven new songs that sounds like a clash between Stooges, early Replacements and punk rock." I'd add Ford's Fuzz Inferno.
"Eternal Lopez" is released by Milan based label Venti3.
