Bologna. At the turn of the late 1970s and early 1980s. The events of March '77 and the murder of the student Francesco Lorusso. The massacre at the Radio Alice station closed by the police after a raid (which, however, was fully broadcasted live). But also "Bologna Rock" and the Clash historical show in Piazza Maggiore. Cult label and association Harpo's Bazaar and Italian Records. Local clubs such as the Punkreas and the Small. The long running record shop Disco D'oro and the self-made fanzines... Obscure but at the same time bright years, they inevitably generated an exuberant powerful musical movement that from Bologna then spread throughout Italy. Quando I Baci Erano Fiocchi is a collection of songs written and recorded in that period, in the cellar of Via s. Vitale 13 with a 4-track cassette deck. Never released before, they see the light today after being edited, remixed and digitally remastered. The missing link between post-punk and new wave, Windopen could seriously show the dark side of a "political" nation.

Spittle present a reissue of Windopen's Rock!, originally issued in 1979. Windopen were a proudly underground band from Bologna. Active between the '70s and the '80s, they only recorded a cassette (the original presentation of this music) on Harpo's Music and a single, Sei In Banana Dura (1980) for Cramps Records. At the exact edge between masterpiece and madness, here is the first-ever vinyl reissue of that original cassette, released on 1979 plus two unreleased tracks and tracks from Sei In Banana Dura. A classic item from the golden era of Italian New Wave, this music is the perfect mixture of punk spirit, urban slang lyrics and pure nonsense. "Sei In Banana Dura" was a really big underground hit! In the 1990s, band member Roberto Terzani took Giovanni Maroccolo's place in Litfiba and eventually he followed Piero Pelù in his solo career.
