    Kriminals! is the second studio album by the punk rock band from Parma Shonan, released on October 15th on all the main streaming and download platforms. The new work was anticipated by the singles Rocky Roberts and Suburban Hayez, available in streaming and on YouTube, with official videos. The album, characterized by a powerful and explosive sound, comes out 2 years after the last single Fall From Grace. The songs talk about the difficulty of finding someone willing to listen seriously, how we are often left alone, abandoned and sabotaged, and the difficulty of being able to trust people, and how this affects relationships between people.

    "We worked intensely on these songs for a couple of years, trying to come up with everything that could be useful. The pandemic canceled the first recordings initially set for April 2020, so at the first reopening we booked 7 days of studio in Milan; the mixer, the microphones, our instruments and the 4 streets next to the studio became our home, our bed and everything we saw for a week, together with our producers and some beer in the evening, after having played and recorded. Locking ourselves in the studio in that brief interlude of serenity from all the mess that was going on was our response to the first 3 months of the lockdown, and the best way to process all the questionable personal experiences we had lived in recent times " says Arcu, singer and guitarist.

    Kriminals! is released on the label Rocketman Records and was entirely recorded and mixed in 6 days at the Real-Sound Studio in Milan, under the production of Ettore "Ette" Gilardoni. The album is distributed by Believe, and is also available on Digipak CD at the label's online store. The album cover and artwork were created with the art designer Miguel Velasquez, and show a skate park surrounded by a sinister and disturbing atmosphere, where red clouds move nervously between the high voltage pylons in the background. The artwork was created in collaboration with the art designer Miguel Velasquez.

lyrics

HEY YOU, DANCING QUEEN
I SAW YOU ON MY SCREEN
I KNOW I MIGHT BE WRONG
WERE YOU LOOKING AT ME?
I FALL OFF EVERY DAY,
EACH TIME I SEE YOUR FACE
IT’S SUCH A PITY THAT
THIS ROSE CAN’T REACH YOUR PLACE
BUT NOTHING WORKS
JUST THE WAY IT IS,
SCREW NEED TO BE FIXED
MAYBE I’M JUST SICK BUT I’LL BE WAITING…
LET ME SAY DOWN,
DOWN, GIRL YOU CAN PULL ME UNDER
TELL ME HOW DO YOU LIVE, LIVING WITH A LOOKS THAT KILLS, STILL NOTHING GOES
RIGHT – SO WRONG – YOU DON’T KNOW ME AT ALL,
MAY I INTRODUCE MYSELF I’M JUST THE BOY NEXT DOOR
I’LL TAKE THIS GIRL TO A PORNO MOVIE
I THINK THIS WOUL BE KIND OF GROOVIE
I’LL TRY THE BEST TO IMPRESS, MY LOVER
THERE YOU ARE, RIGHT ON THE COVER. (and nothing goes)
JUST THE WAY IT IS,
LIFE CAN BE OBSCENE,
IF YOU WERE WITH ME AND I’LL BE WAITING…
LET ME SAY DOWN,
DOWN, GIRL YOU CAN PULL ME UNDER
TELL ME HOW DO YOU LIVE, LIVING WITH A LOOKS THAT KILLS, AND LET ME SAY
DOWN (HEY)
DOWN, WITH THE HORNS OF A DEVIL
WELL I’M NOT JEALOUS BUT I’M CALLING YOUR NAME
AND I KNOW I’M FALLING OUT OF MY BRAIN
I GOT MY PHONE DRIVING ME INSANE
I’M OVERWHELMED BY MATERIAL THINGS
BUT AFTER ALL IT WAS A MATTER OF
TIME, I KNEW IT ALL.
AND I’VE BE WAITING SINCE BEFORE.
LET ME SAY DOWN,
DOWN, GIRL YOU CAN PULL ME UNDER
TELL ME HOW DO YOU FEEL WHILE I’M FINDING A WAY
LET ME SAY DOWN
DOWN, WITH THE HORNS OF A DEVIL
WELL I’M NOT JEALOUS BUT I’M CALLING YOUR NAME
A-HA

between punk and hard rock.
After the release of Farewells & Pillows, the trio undertakes a long series of concerts throughout Italy, and concentrates on writing the
second album, which is titled Kriminals!, released on October 15th 2021. ... more
