ASOCIAL “Kolsvart framtid” gatefold LP, ROUGH “Rude 1982-1983” gatefold LP, ARTURO “Conversazioni” LP and S.A.P.U “Curao, volao y con bajon” LP: preorders start NOW!!!
Posted in Arturo, Asocial, Rough, S.A.P.U on January 7th, 2025 by foadmaster2022Welcome to a new F.O.A.D. year that promises to be truly ear-blowing and full of sick surprises! We ended 2024 with 45 releases, not our record, there was a slight decrease from 2023, mostly because this year was undoubtedly the most challenging in the label’s history. We had to deal with a huge move that resulted in our two previous logistics merging into one warehouse. This and a number of other factors caused a series of delays and unforeseen events that slowed us down for a few months. Now we are fully settled in the new location, with a strong and more substantial team, and the prospects for the times ahead are totally positive, you’ve already seen it with the IMPETIGO boxset, which was the most colossal production in the label’s history. And our release schedule for 2025 is almost complete and it’s monstrous.. so let’s stop the pleasantries and start introducing you to what we have in the pot for this January! It’s been a while since we’ve offered you an all hardcore month, but as you know our catalog is always unpredictable switching from different underground obscurities and genres, and this month we’re finally here: 100% HARDCORE! Two Italian bands from two eras far apart, one among the heavyweights of Scandinavian råpunk d-beat and one revelation from the highly acclaimed new wave of Chilean tupa-tupa fuzzcore. Who are we talking about? From the grey smog filled motor-city of northern Italy, Turin… we have a phenomenal discography of ROUGH‘s early recordings and the first time on vinyl for ARTURO‘s debut album “Conversazioni”, from the frozen helvete of Swedish mangelcore we have ASOCIAL‘s new album, and from the seedier meanders of Chiguayante in Chile we present S.A.P.U and their raw, nihilistic punk! So to summarize: ASOCIAL “Kolsvart framtid” gatefold LP, ROUGH “Rude 1982-1983” gatefold LP,
ARTURO “Conversazioni” LP and S.A.P.U “Curao, volao y con bajon” LP are all available for preorders.
The release date has been set for January 20 and, as usual, we’ll do our best to be able to start shipping by that date. As is our custom, we have also made limited bundles available for those who wish to purchase multiple matched items at discounted price. The duration of these offers is entirely at our discretion and will likely end on the release date. And finally, our usual recommendations: don’t stress with unnecessary inquiries such as “have you shipped?”, tracking requests before the release date, changes or additions of items… in the pre-order phase of IMPETIGO we risked nervous breakdown over these things! And act fast if you want to grab the colored-diehard versions, as you can see many of them are limited to only 100 copies, so they will go fast.
And now here the detailed descriptions of this month’s 4x ragers:

ARTURO “Conversazioni” LP (F.O.A.D. 361)
TORINO HARDCORE!!! After releasing a collection of the band’s early works (singles and demos from the 90’s) we are honored to welcome ARTURO back to the F.O.A.D. roster by reissuing their debut album “Conversazioni” (2001) for the first time on vinyl, coinciding with their return to the stages after more than a decade! 20 tracks of rapid and original hardcore, backed by their always young and energetic atmosphere and the unparalleled inimitable style that makes Torino’s underground sound so unique. “Conversazioni” was also the first recording with Gigio (from TOHC legends Church Of Violence) on vocals, adding his unique approach combining the aforementioned school with a Bad Brainish vibe. Recorded at the legendary “Acqualuce Studios” from which all TOHC classics of the 90s and the first two CRIPPLE BASTARDS albums “Your Lies In Check” and “Misantropo a senso unico” came from! LP with insert and OBI strip.

Raw, sloppy tupa-tupa hardcore punk from Chiguayante, Chile delivered with genuine anger and don’t-give-a-fuck-attitude.. Recommended if you like the fuzziest side of South American punk (Ignorantes are the first comparison that comes to mind) spiced up with some Scandinavian Rapunk influences – think of Skitslickers or Huvudtvätt.
