As she enters the music scene of these turbulent 20s, Olivia Rodrigo's star seems increasingly difficult to ignore. From ex-Disney star to modern pop rock icon – new Avril Lavigne, more than someone says – the American singer has transformed her adolescent love troubles and her existential crises into songs which, in the span of two acclaimed albums – “Sour” (2021) and “Guts” (2023) – have made her the symbolic artist of Gen Z, placing her in a narrow musical corridor that has allowed her to earn everyone's respect despite remaining relatively an artist dedicated to making music “for teenagers”.…
In a Rome already crushed by the coils of an early summer, a handful of heroes crowd the indoor hall of the Monk Club to watch an even more incendiary live performance. From the post-modern follies of the Rising Sun, the trio known as Guitar Wolf down one beer after another while waiting to go on stage, while the Romans Poo Poo Talks offer the public their set based on garage and synth-rock. After 10pm, Guitar, Drum and Bass Wolf enter the scene to drink the last can, crushed with their hands before setting fire to the sonic powders. “MORE…
At the doors of the Traffic Live Club in Via Prenestina you can immediately feel an air of feverish excitement, mixed pleasantly with the sirocco that rages over the capital. The concert by Turin's Ponte del Diavolo is highly anticipated, as they land in Rome to show off one of the most successful mixes of darkwave, doom and black-metal in the sonic panorama of the Bel Paese. Fromunderground Piedmontese on the stages of the major European festivals, the path of the band led with dark sensuality by singer Elena Camusso has been dazzling, certainly unique in its stylistic proposal. While…
For many years now “the” Sherwood (i.e. the festival) has become infinitely more popular than “the” Sherwood (in the sense of the radio that organizes it). It was certainly a consequence of the choice, at the time, to sell the frequencies to survive exclusively online (the writer remembers the disappointment with which a generic “jealous radio” suddenly took the place of the one he always listened to in the car and at home). The fact is that this year too, as in every summer for over twenty years now, the car park of the Euganeo stadium in Padua becomes one…
L’anniversario Sessant’anni del miglior Dylan degli anni Sessanta. Capolavoro forse ineguagliato e vertice della produzione del decennio d’oro di Mister Zimmerman, “Blonde On Blonde” – uscito il 20 giugno 1966 – spegne 60 candeline mantenendo appieno tutto il suo peso storico: quello di una pietra angolare nell’evoluzione musicale che conduce al cantautorato moderno. Riconosciuto come uno dei più grandi album di tutti i tempi, oltre che il primo significativo album doppio della storia del rock – in anticipo di un mese su “Freak Out” di Frank Zappa – “Blonde On Blonde” segna il definitivo passaggio dall’era del 45 giri a…

Numbers from headliner of primary importance for Skrillex, among the most influential and respected protagonists of the electronic scene in recent years.

Released without any warning or official announcement, Coral's new album “388” was hailed by critics as a delightful, unexpected surprise. A sensation fueled at first by the difficult availability of the album, which slowly entered the catalogs of distributors and shops thanks to incessant word of mouth. After completing the Potential Trilogy concept album from the neo-psychedelic and more American sounds of their career (“Coral Island”, “Sea Of Mirrors” and “Holy Joe's Coral Island Medicine Show”), Coral took a break, visiting the places where it all began. For a group that has always made dreams the main source of inspiration,…
In the contemporary Italian scene, dominated by stratified productions and an often aseptic digital aesthetic, the choice to strip away all electronic frills to return to the essential is a radical act. With “Voce e drums”, Frankie Hi-Nrg Mc makes a systematic subtraction, reducing the sound system to a primordial duel between Donato Stolfi's drums and the scratches of the faithful DJ Stile. An “extreme synthesis”, as defined by the rapper, which is happily viable because the starting songs are generally of excellent workmanship. Author's rereadings of a now classic career. A heterogeneous group of guests contributes to avoiding self-celebration.…
