scemo is Italian for idiot.

I love Peggio Punx!  they rip so hard, yet sound so crappy!  Hailing from Alessandria, Italy, they were around from 1981 til the early 90's, and these two 7"s here are probably their best records.  The vocals are so inherently Italian...pissed, rapid-fire, wild, wreckless..all at once.  the guitar is trebley and thin as hell, like Ray from the Dead Kennedys, the bass is bouncy and deep and doesn't always play the "right" notes, and the drums, oh the drums...actually I'm not even sure they're drums...could be just a pile of broken metal and wood and cardboard.  Whatever the hell the drummer is playing, he plays the crap out of it and it sounds insane and cool as hell.  This zip is the first two 7"s Disastro Sonoro and La citta e quieta...ombre parlano, from '82 and '83, respectively.  Get ye with it!
