Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
LA COLPA, IS A PRODUCT OF THE MADE IN ITALY LIKE THE PIZZA OR THE ESPRESSO, BUT THIS IS ROCK. ROCK MADE IN ITALY. THE BAND IS FROM MILAN AND IT START WORKING TOGHETER IN THE EARLY 2012, AFTER ONE HARD YEAR OF WORK TOGHETER, WE ENTEREED IN THE NOISE FACTORY STUDIO FOR THE RECORDING SESSION, WE’VE FOUND OUT THAT OUR TRACK'S WERE VERY STRONG AND POWERFUL, SO WE DECIDED TO CHOOSE ONLY FIVE SONGS (BETWEEN THE EIGHT TRACKS THAT WE’VE RECORDED) FOR THE CREATION OF THE FIRST PROMOTIONAL EP THAT WAS CALLED “MUTUO PERPETEUO”. WE WANTED TO PLAY IT LIVE AND GET OFF FROM THE STUDIO. IN OUR OPINION IT IS ONLY IN THE LIVE DIMENSION THAT YOU CAN LIFE TO A SONG. SO FROM FEBRUARY 2013 WE STARTED TO PLAY IT IN EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE AROUND ALL THE ITALIAN PENINSULA.
2. How would you describe your musical sound?
OUR SOUND IS A BALANCED MIX BETWEEN THE POWER OF THE RIFFS AND THE LYRICS MELODY. THE ALL EP SOUNDS AS THE SAME WAY WE PLAY LIVE. IT WAS RECORDING LIVE IN STUDIO.
3. What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
IN OUR LYRICS WE TRY TO TAKE ALWAS PLACE FROM THE REALITY AROUND US. FROM OUR CITIES, FROM OUR LIVES, IT ISN’T IMPORTANT TO GO IN TO THE SPACE IF YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND ALLA THE SMALLEST THINGS AROUND YOU. WE TALK ABOUT THE ESCAPE, ABOUT THE ITALIAN COLONIALISM, ABOUT THE BERLUSCONI’S 20 YEARS OF POWER IN ITALY AND WE TRY TO DESCRIBE HOW IT GET OUR LAND INTO RUINE, THEN WE TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMICS PROBLEM AND THE NEED TO GET AN ACTION AND TO GET AWAKE ALL OUR GENERATION BECAUSE IN THE FUTURE WE’LL CAN CHANGE ALL THIS ECONOMIC WAY OF LIFE, BUT WE MUST AWAKE OURSELF AND GET OUR EYES OPEN WIDE, ABOVE THE REALITY, NOT THE TELEFILMS THE TELEVISION, THE FUCKING REALITY.
4. What is the meaning and inspiration behind the bands name?
“LA COLPA” MEANS “THE BLAME” OR “THE FAULT” TO TAKE OUR FAULTS IS THE ONLY REVOLUTIONARY WAY THAT WE HAVE TO FREE OUR SOUL AND TO TRY TO RESTART OUR WAY OF LIFE.
5. What are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?
WE HAVE PLAYED ALREADY 26 SHOWS THROUG ITALY IN ALL THE MAIN CLUBS OF THE NORTH. OUR STAGE PERFORMANCE IS A VERY PHISICAL EXPERIENCE, WE ENDED THE LIVE COMPLETELY WET FROM THE SECOND SONG, SOMETIMES THE DRUM WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED, OUR SINGER WAS LOST IN THE CROWD AND THE STICK’S OF THE DRUMMER WERE FLYING THROUG ALL THE STAGE. IT’S A BATTLE EVERY NIGHT, WE THINK THAT YOU CAN BE CONVINCE YOUR CROWD ONLY IF YOU ARE REALLY GENUINE, SO WE TRY TO GIVE THE 100% IN EVERY CONCERT TO CREATE AN INCREDIBLE WAVE OF POWER TO SHARE WITH THE PEOPLE. FIRST OF ALL WE LOVE TOO MUCH PLAY TOGHETER AND BE ON THE STAGE!
6. Do you have any touring plans for the future?
THE “MUTUO PERPETUO” SUMMER TOUR 2013 THAT WILL END ONLY IN SEPTEMBER, THAN WE’LL START WITH THE WINTER TOUR AND AT THE SAME TIME WE WOULD LIKE TO REENTERING IN THE STUDIO AND BEGIN TO WORK ON THE NEW MATERIAL, NEW MATERIAL, TO GET THE NEW EP, OR MAYBE THE NEW ALBUM. IF WE’LL LIVE WE’LL SEE IT.
7. on a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your ep by fans of hard music?
NOW WE TRY TO GET OFF FROM THE CONFINES OF THE ITALY, AND WE HOPE THAT THE FANS WOULD APPRECIATE OUR WORK IT’S ALL GENUINE, IN THIS EP THERE ARE OUR LIVES.
8. Are there any other musical projects besides this band or is this a full time line up?
THIS IS A SERIOUS PROJECT, SO IT IS THE MAIN FULL TIME LIME UP FOR EVERYONE.
9. What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?
WE HOPE THAT OUR MUSIC CAN MATURE WITH US, MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WE START TO PLAY DRUM’N’BASS OR WE START TO BECAME CHEF. THE PRESENT RULEZ, THE REST IS DUST.
10. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
THE BANDS THAT HAD INFLUENCED US ARE TOO MUCH TO WRITE HERE. EVERYONE OF US HAS HIS INFLUENCES DIFFERENT BY THE OTHER. AN INFLUENCE THAT WE SHARED TOGHETER ARE THE BEATLES, OF COURSE.
11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?
WE LIKE TO READ, TO EXPERIMENTING IN THE STUDIO, AND TO DO THE INTERVIEWS LIKE THIS ONE, BECAUSE YOU REMEMBER THAT OUR ENGLISH IS VERY BAD . WE HAVE TO IMPROVE A LOT. I’M JUST RETURNED YESTERDAY FROM LONDON BUT MY ENGLISH IS THE SAME SPAGHETTI-ENGLISH THAT I TALKED BEFORE THE DEPARTURE.
12. Any final words or thoughts before we wrap upt his interview?
SORRY FOR OUR ENGLISH.
