    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

TURNING OFF MY CELLPHONE 'CAUSE I'D RATHER BE ALONE
THERE MUST BE A PLACE_ I'M LOSING HOPE OF EVER
FOUNDING ALL THE SWEET TALKS THAT NOW TURNED INTO A JOKE_
I'M KILLING ALL MY FEELINGS, THEY FADE THE WAY SOME RADIO (STEREO) DIE__

I'VE GOT MY SONGS HERE TO REMIND ME
THAT IT'S HARD TO BE 2
ARE YOU ENJOYING YOUR OWN LIMELIGHT?
SOMEHOW I'LL HEAR ABOUT YOU_

WHY? I'VE TOLD YOU I WAS BROKEN
ONE DAY YOU CAME TO ME AND ASKED TO COME ALIVE
I TURN MY RADIO ON, RADIO ON
I SEE FALLING STARS AGAIN
AND I JUST CAN'T LET IT GO,
YEAH I JUST CAN'T LET IT GO,
AND IT GOES...

LIVING'S SUCH A MESS WHEN YOU GOT VOICES IN YOUR HEAD
ONE OF ME HAS ALWAYS BEEN ENOUGH FOR ME SO_
SOMEONE'S SENDING LETTERS TO MY IMAGINARY FRIENDS
I'M DEALING WITH MY EGO LIKE IT WAS MY 9 TO 5_

YOU'RE PLAYING WITH MY OBSESSIONS
AND IT'S KILLING ME, CAN'T YOU SEE?
A FUZZY DREAM ON A VHS
SOMEHOW YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT ME

WHY? I'VE TOLD YOU, I WAS BROKEN
ONE DAY YOU CAME TO ME AND ASKED TO COME ALIVE
I TURN MY RADIO ON, RADIO ON
I SEE FALLING STARS AGAIN
AND I JUST CAN'T LET IT GO,
YEAH I JUST CAN'T LET IT GO,
AND IT GOES...
