Kobra – Confusione

You may remember Kobra from a 5-song tape released on Milan’s excellent Occult Punk Gang label back in 2018. Not to be confused with the other Italian band from the early 80’s or the current rapper who also goes by Kobra. A pit of snakes to step carefully through indeed. “Confusione” comes after a couple of line up changes and sounds way different than the first tape. They channel the spirit of early anarcho-punk and Italian hardcore while still injecting it with their own unique personality. The album tells the story of young broke punks in Milan, always looking for a grift in the system, angry but also full of self-doubt, torn between activism and nihilism.

‘Confusione’ is 10 songs plus one interlude, 22+ minutes long. It features added saxophone by Luigi Monteanni from ArteTetra records. 150 on translucent red and 350 on black 150gr vinyl housed in a 24pt reverse board jacket with lyric insert and download card. Art by Francesco Goats. Mastered by Will Killingsworth at Dead Air studios.
