giacomo stefanini is editor for noisey, has contributed, together with the occult punk gang collective, to bring a certain new wave of fresh punk to milan by organizing concerts in the past three years (or maybe more), plays in Kobra and has a beautiful instagram profile in which he writes about his favorite records. it’s called GRRAWR. in recent years I have learned that in addition to knowing a lot, Giacomo really has an attitude, and flair for beautiful and genuine things. in this specific case, even moving ones. he’s also one of the few people who can make me think that guitars still make sense in 2020.
