The band from Parma clearly states with the album title "Antifa Riot" which direction they are heading. Clearly antifascist, but perhaps a bit too polarizing when you look at the tracklist and read song titles like "We Still Fight Again," "Riot Squad," or "Parma Antifascista." Here, they take a clear stance, reminding one of Banda Bassotti, who also politically take a clear and unequivocal position. But FFD not only reminds of the ska-punk band from Rome in their song titles. Musically, a comparison is also justified. While the ska parts are hardly present with the guys from Parma, the love for melody and choruses is a firm part of FFD's songs.
FFD has also looked across the big pond and incorporated some elements from California into their songs.
"Antifa Riot" sounds almost too polished for political punk rock, which is, of course, a wonderful break with scene traditions.
Musically, ZSK from Italy.
Lyrically, Banda Bassotti in their youth.
Overall, an absolute discovery that makes one wonder why the band doesn't play here and why I can't find either a Facebook page or a homepage?
