Banda Bassotti

[Bandito]

I just realized we don't have a thread about one of the most influential leftist bands in Europe, Banda Bassotti.

Italian ska-punk band from Rome. The band was formed in 1987, and they released their first album(Figli della stessa rabia) in 1991. They made a recording break from 1996 to 2002, and recently recordeda live album called Check Point Kreuzberg.
Never mind them being from Rome, they are massive supporters of FC Livorno, a football club that has the most fanatical supporters in Europe, Brigate Autonome Livornesi, who are openly communist and are not afraid to show it. Banda Bassotti dedicated the song Fino al ultimo bandito(down to the last bandit) to BAL.

Here are a few songs for those who are not familliar with these legends:
Luna Rossa (probably their most popular tune, translation would be Red Moon)

Stalingrado is my favourite

maybe there is already a thread about ska-punk , but perhaps here this band can be discussed more broadly
