when steve albini curated atp a few years ago,
uzeda were definitely the band to watch as far as i was concerned. coaxed out of retirement by steve, their set was pure joy. rare it is that you see bands so clearly enjoying themselves on stage, unabashedly. but then uzeda is a band that seems to be all about let your true emotions pour out. just listen to the cathartic wails of agostino's guitar, mimicking the primal screams from giovanna. and then there's that rythmn section, the bass adding serious meat to the drum's bone structure.
er anyway, enough bad music criticism, uzeda don't get talked about much these days, so here are some songs you should own. hunt down their records...

by special request... possibly my favourite italian band? this is one peel session from 1994 released by strange fruit. if you like this then get their 2006 album stella and then work your way back...
