Smart Cops - Cominciare A Vivere 7"


Italian hardcore attack!
With members from La Piovra and Ohuzaru (the sound is more similar to the Piovra's hardcore than the fast thrash of the later).

"Second EP by Italy's Smart Cops, and if you loved their first EP as much as I did, you'll be pleased to know they've only gotten better at their concoction of garage-y punk and 80-style hardcore. Even better, this time they've given us a concept record about a cop who "finds himself" by becoming addicted to heroin!"

"(...) The final blow to the skull of good taste this week comes courtesy of Italy’s Smart Cops, with their Cominciare a Vivere EP on Sorry State Records. Formed from the ashes of hardcore behemoths La Piovra and Ohuzaru, the Cops are less abrasive (and screamy) than either of those outfits, and have mastered the fine art of writing a decent hook. The follow up to their self-titled EP, Cominciare a Vivere tells the tale of a woebegoten officer of the law that, in an attempt to find himself, become addicted to heroin. All of this is delivered at a rocket-fire pace in an abrasive-yet-tuneful ’80s hardcore style that should please fans of Negative Approach or gutter trash punk rock in general." The TripWire

Negative Approach?? Nah...More like Circle Jerks, DK and alikes (they cover a few songs, "Beverly Hills" and "Holiday In Cambodia")
