Tasaday – Aprirsi Nel Silenzio
http://thethingonthedoorstep.be/blog/2013/01/tasaday-aprirsi-nel-silenzio/
ITS OBSCURE ITALIAN POST PUNK BAND THAT IS OUT OF PRINT IM SURE THE DUDES IN IT WOULDNT CARE THAT I
AM SHARING THIS LINK IT IS NOT COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IT IS FUCKING UNDERGROUND MUSIC FOR CHRISSAKE
Active since 1981 and formed from two bands named Die Form & Orgasmo Negato, (changed in Die Form &
Nulla Iperreale in 1983) the band chose the definitive name TASADAY in 1984. In the '80 they had
many live performances, published fanzines, 3 LP, a unknown number of cassettes and many radio
transmissions. In the '90 they had some performances, one CD and other stuff. Die Form was the name
of the first musical unit of the group that later, after the fusion with Nulla Iperreale, changed
into Tasaday. The band's members were R. Girardi (drum), A. Ronchi (guitar), C. Ronchi (bass
guitar), S. Sangalli (synthesizer and vocals) and F. White (vocals).
They composed their first songs in october 1981. Some months later Z. Ahmed joined the band with his
saxophone, clarinet and vocals. At the beginning Orgasmo Negato was the name of the group of friends
supporting die Form in their live performances. The aim of Orgasmo Negato live action was to
disconcert the listener. Later they started to play their own music. The band's members were M.
Camorali (bass, amputee bass, percussions, voice and other), P. Cantù (guitar and drum machine) and
S. Ripamonti (synthesizer). Orgasmo Negato changed their name into Nulla Iperreale. In 1984 these
three bands evolved into “Tasaday - Die Form and Nulla Iperreale”. Later on the name was reduced
only to Tasaday.

Check out the band i posted you know my taste is impeccable.
Folk punk was awesome when i was 16 and moody and still thought that discussions about politics had a point.

Well basically all of the bands you mentioned are part of the latter group. I would also add The Ex and The Fall. Essentially the bands you have trouble just calling punk.
The bands who I think don't espouse any radical tendencies (no matter what Rolling Stone and old dad-rockers say) are bands like The Ramones and Sex Pistols. Easy, obvious targets of criticism, I know, but they are so calculated in their image and attitude, and were exploited in such a way that it is as far from anti-commercial, anti-authoritarian and radical as it gets. It is pop/rock with different fashion, which fits nicely in the development of pop music, a continual redressing of the same formulas, to be exploited in the form of trends, etc. They are the road that leads to Green Day.
Then if you consider hardcore, and especially hardcore of the last decade, I don't need to really stress how many derivative, play-it-safe bands there are. Fine, this exists in all genres, but punk, as they say, is a way of life! an ethos!
Well, match your music to your radical ideas then.
Or perhaps the non-radical nature of the music of most of these bands/scenes/peoples only illuminates how non-radical and fashion driven so many of them are.
The Ramones always wanted a hit single and tried their very best many times to write one. Imo, they deserved it as well. They never were anti-commercial to begin with. And that doesn't bother me either. There's nothing inherently wrong with writing catchy, accessible tunes.
And of course the Sex Pistols were calculated. And of course they were pretty commercial as well. You don't get your message across if you don't reach anyone with your music. The point is they reached an entire generation of frustrated young people in a horrible economic and political climate that just wanted to vent. Also, they showed again to a much larger degree of people that writing simple music could result in good and fun songs. This in a period were heavy technical progrock was at its commercial peak.
See, I agree that these bands were accessible pop/rock, and I don't mind that. But then that means you must also make comparisons with the other commercial bands at the time, and not the underground. They did pave the way for a lot of other, perhaps more artistically interesting and far more experimental bands, but those never had as much listeners as these two big ones. And the revolution the Ramones and Pistols kickstarted - cultural and social, not musical - would have never happened if they weren't in a way commercial to begin with.

wow this thread had discussions of a musical nature, I'm amazed
Just discovering have much special stuff like this came out in 1979, it was a crazy year it seems - people straying away from the generic paths of the time and creating some very unique stuff.

being very patient with this and the Swans reissues. My patience with Can has paid off, and I got two of the four albums already pre-ordered. Coming in two weeks and I'm hyped. Soon after, my copy of HANL is coming oh shit my wallet will be emptier than Dev's bed.
