Bio

LOS FASTIDIOS born in Verona (north east of Italy) in late 1991 led by Enrico (founder of the independent label KOB Records http://www.kobrecords.org). Band members from Verona, Venice and Parma.

LOS FASTIDIOS are: ENRICO (voice), LUCA (bass & voice), MARIO (guitar & voice), DAVE (drums & voice).

The Los Fastidios sound is a powerful melodic streetpunk which mixes classical 80’s British Punk-OI! sounds with skanking, rock’n’roll and hardcore rythms, sung in Italian with some touches of English, French and Spanish languages. The lyrics come from the most cheerful street situations to more serious and involved matters which deal with social problems, such as battles against racism-fascism and any form of discrimination, for the animal rights, for freedom and against the capitalistic system…

These last years, Los Fastidios have achieved great number of anti-racist initiatives and social causes,by taking part in various support gigs with collections in favour of Chiapas, for the workers, against racism, for the animal rights, against war, against capitalism and neoliberalism, etc…

Over the years, Los Fastidios have toured extensively, traveling not just all over Italy, but also in Germany, France, Switzerland, Norway, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Croatia, Slovakia, England, Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Denmark, Slovenia, Serbia, Euskadi, Sweden, Austria, Czech Republic, Poland, Eire, Ulster, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, Greece and Canada. Thanks to these gigs the band received very good reviews.
