Raw power from Italy performs in pomona!

Raw power was nice enough to stop by the pit pomona to perform a few songs for the grateful fans!
Raw Power was formed in Italy in 1981 by Mauro and Giuseppe Codeluppi (voice and guitar).
The vinyl debut You Are the Victim (Meccano, 1983) made them a name for playing the roughest punk in in their home country.
Screams from the Gutter (Toxic Shock, 1985) is most likely their best album and a masterpiece of hardcore-metal crossover. Far from inventing a style this record is remarkable for ranking a brilliant range of riffs (all composed by guitarrist Giuseppe Codeluppi) and for being recorded by excellent musicians. Jazz drummer Helder Stefanini, metal guitarrist Davide Devoti and obsessed vocalist Mauro Codeluppi manage to define a sound which is outstanding in the punk scene. State Oppression, Hate and Power are the most famous songs, but the standouts are the thrilling A Certain Kind of Killer, the improvised jam Start a Fight, the fast and furious Police Police and the well structured Politicians. Wop Hour (Toxic Shock, 1986) is a live ep collecting out-takes from the Screams' sessions. big thanks to Raw power for coming out!
