Review: Causa – 29

Finally 29, the new album by Causa, is out! It’s a really inspiring band, made up of genuine, pleasant people, full of passion and profound ideals. Born in 2006, starting from Pisa, they have taken their punk mixed with ska and skacore far and wide throughout the peninsula; 11 years of music and passion with four demos and three albums.

What to say, I was really expecting it, my expectations were very high and they were confirmed, indeed, far exceeded …

This album is full of energy, a sound that tells you: stand up, start shouting and jumping; words that make you understand the historical moment in which we live, words that open your eyes… words of freedom, the new wind we need (29, ventinove in Italian, sounds a lot like vento nuovo, new wind – translator’s note).

Starting with Antifa makes it easy to understand Causa’s thinking, an idea that has never changed, the resistance that today more than ever becomes important, a life that is completely antifa.

Sos, the first single, is full of energy, it is a wake up call for all those who are taken in by what the media sell, continuous alarms to keep minds occupied and asleep, safety, sports, advertising, promises… for the control, the standardization of thought.

Venerdì and Giostra are about work, market; Welcome, with the hottest topic of the moment, immigration, seen with the eyes of those who flee, the eyes of those who saw war, death… of those who arrive and do not carry weapons.

Each song is different, equally important within the track-list, with a sound that balances winds, upbeat, distortion, moments of melodic hc, lyrics to sing along to… and wow, the backing vocals!

Causa’s message is: free your minds.

I put 29 in my car and I won’t take it out anymore, it’s amazing, you never get tired of it and I recommend it to everyone… I can’t wait to see it played live!
