Τhose, who are fans of post punk, they definitely know the Italian band, Soviet Soviet. The three guys from Pesaro give life in their vision and they surprised us with their first album ''Summer Jesus''released in 2011.The immediacy of Soviet Soviet live shows would then be recorded in studio with a meticulous works that would lead to the birth of their debut album,"Fate". The album was released on November 11, 2013, and in 2016 the Italians released the album ''Endless''. Between the releases, a huge number of concerts started they were immediately connected with the people and quickly adored.
Soviet Soviet is Alessandro Constantini (guitar), Andrea Giometti (bass, vocals) & Alessandro Ferri (drums).
I had seen them in their last concert in Death Disco on December 2014 and I really feel satisfied from what I had listen. It was a full concert, with atmospheric disposition, sharp guitars and bass, vocal effect with depth, drums stability and the songs one by one driven you in a chaotic melodic dimension.
