Toni Crimine Toni Crimine

(Well, we thought it was a joke too! However, after listening to their digital single we had to change our minds: the Toni Crimine are back for good and they want to resume what they interrupted about 15 years ago!
Among the most irreverent bands in Italy, these Pisa-based musicians believe a single is not enough. So, enjoy their new and long-awaited album that the band will promote with tremendous and feral live gigs that will set stages on fire all over Italy.
Their return is neither nostalgic nor vintage: they are back to make some noise and destroy all our most rooted certainties!

They are big fans of Turbonegro, Zeke, RKL, Dead Kennedys, Black Flag and Hanoi Rocks… just to give you an idea. So, are you ready? Because TONI CRIMINE are back!)Well, we thought it was a joke too!

Andy / Fear & Loathing – January-June/2020

Toni Crimine were last active around 15 years ago, so this album marks their return with a vengeance! Hailing from Pisa, the land of wonky architecture, they present a great, trashy version of rock’n’roll, combining everything thing from Hard Rock, Garage, Punk, Oi and Hardcore. They know their music and aren’t afraid to reference their influences (first track ‘Linoleum’ borrows a Poison Idea riff, whilst ‘Auto Pirata’ owes more than a few chords to AC/DC and even the artwork takes a nod towards Black Flag.) I could imagine that these guys would be a real blast if you got to see them live. The only problem (for me, at least) is that all of the lyrics are sung in Italian and I wish I knew what the songs are about. I tend to think, in line with their no-holds barred riffage, the lyrics would be pretty entertainment in all the right, irreverent ways, but at the moment I have no way of telling. In the meantime, if I tell you these guys are the closest that Italy has come to producing its’ very own Turbonegro, that should be enough to get you to track this down!

Bertrand Tappaz – Chronique 2020 – 01/01/2020 – VOIX DE GARAGE GRENOBLE

ça c’est un patronyme bien trouvé ! Totalement en adéquation avec la musique ! Qui sévit entre Punk Rock / Heavy 70’s / Garage et High Energy Rock’n’Roll… Leurs chansons sont nerveuses, mélodiques et musclées ! Et c’est vraiment ce à quoi je m’attendais avec ce disque (regardez attentivement la pochette, peut-être y décellerez-vous aussi une référence Hard Core…). Oui sur ces 14 chansons le quintet de Pise est parfaitement à la hauteur de l’imaginaire et des attentes que produisent leur nom !
14 chansons souvent je trouve ça un peu trop, mais là ils auront tellement attendu pour le faire ce 1er album que je comprends qu’ils aient eut envie de tout y mettre ! Car leur 1er single est sorti en 2006… c’est long !
Ce que j’adore sur ce disque c’est que les chansons sont bâtie sur l’architecture que crée le batteur qui possède TOUTE la palette qu’on espère d’un grand batteur Rock : roulements, cymbales, compte temps, stop & go… un jeu puissant, fin raffiné et énergisant ! Par dessus les guitares et la basse s’en donnent à cœur joie ! Ça cisaille, ça charcle, ça mélodise et ça envois le bois comme il faut ! Et en cadeau bonus, leur chanteur et ses paroles en italiens sont en totale adéquation avec la musique !
Italian do it wilder, baby !
