Andrea Carreda has been fronting Italy's longest running pop
punk band The Manges for nearly 25 years now. About 8 years ago he started a
side project band to work out some surf tunes and other jams that went in a
little different direction than the 1-2-3-4 style of The Manges. And thus
The Veterans were born. Each release thus far has featured a different
backing band made up of other Italian punk rock veterans. Quartet,
the fourth release from The Veterans, features a cover of American punk rock
veterans the Go-Go's on the B-side, and an Andrea Carreda original on the
A-side. This time around The Veterans veer a little closer to a more classic
pop sound than their more surf inspired records of the past. Both tracks are
undeniably catchy in an Italian nuanced pop punk style that Andrea
Carreda has become a master of crafting over all these years. |
