November and December 2022 punk news | #Meganews 15
Discover November and December 2022 punk and DIY world news
NEW: Starting with this meganews, we have experimented with a new system for collecting your releases, so as to give you the opportunity to report them to us completely and without mistakes. In addition, we decided to integrate to the scheme already present in the past two meganews, also a descriptive section with details and info about the sound and main features to help you better understand what it is about. This is because the meganews is intended to be a binder of releases, not only for insiders but also for simple enthusiasts who want to discover something new.
HOW CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR NEW RELEASES?
If you are a label, a publisher, a band and want to let us know about your new releases, or simply know about something new, you can:
– Fill out this form.
– Add our address info@radiopunk.it to your mailing list.
We say when a release is available in our distro. For orders or info contact us via DM on instagram or via e-mail at info@radiopunk.it. See full catalog here.
DISCLAIMER:
Punk is an attitude for us, if it was only music we would’t have opened, so not merely musically punk topics are welcome – this is why you can also add Antifa, against repression demonstrations, etc. – if they share the attitude. Militant hip hop, ska, blues, and songwriting are welcome provided that they share with punk spaces and values that are its basis.
IMPORTANT! Listening and discovering new stuff is cool, but if you can buy the physical copy to support bands and labels and if you have the opportunity to donate, every little help is actually a big help.
Would you like to help us make our meganews better? Do you have any constructive criticism for us? Please write to us, we need feedback!

Info: Fourth DIY work by the band from Bergamo born in 2007. Eight tracks between tight rhythms and sharp riffs alternating with singalongs and reassuring melodies ranging from post-hardcore sounds to atmospheres close to classic songwriting. In the lyrics we find literary references, social criticism, metaphors of a disconnected, unresolved time, anger over dreams exploded in everyday failures, and everything that brings with it choosing, growing up, building one’s own future in a frenetic society, at times without logic, increasingly deaf to the needs of the individuals and the nature that surrounds them. The album was anticipated by the video for the single “Porto Rancore”.

Book: “Nabat – sopra e sotto i palchi” a cura di Fabrizio Barile
Publisher: Red Star Press Hellnation Libri
Available in our distro: Yes, order here!
Info: “With more than forty years of career on their shoulders, Nabat have established themselves as authentic legends in the world of Oi! And if songs like Scenderemo nelle strade or Laida Bologna are sent to memory by the kids who crowd the (worst) venues on the planet and the (most infamous) pubs, the history of the legendary Bolognese group led by the stainless Steno is rooted in a discomfort that, in the metropolitan suburbs, has never ceased to be contemporary. Hence the reasons for the group’s incredible artistic staying power and ever-growing popularity: the starting point for the unpublished images signed by Tiziano Ansaldi, Fabrizio Barile, Enrico Zanza and Elisa Piatti, joined by texts by Barile himself, Marco Balestrino and Filippo Andreani, and drawings by Zerocalcare and Mattia Dossi, for a useful tribute to reconstruct the group’s compelling epic, from its beginnings to the present day.”
