SCUMBARI
S/T
2024
Scum is a layer of dirt or froth on the surface of a
liquid.
Bari is a port city on the Adriatic Sea, and the capital of
Southern Italy's Puglia region.
Scum may also refer to nearly all politicians, CEO's,
and leaders of society, whether in politics, religion or
business.
Bari is located in Southern Italy, at a more Northerly
latitude than Naples, further south than Rome.
Scum may reside in a bathtub, a sink or anywhere where
liquid mixes with dirt and grime.
While also in the hearts and minds of the ones who rule us, who are only concerned with power and wealth for themselves and are only out to hurt everybody else.
And like liquid and dirt, power and wealth seem to exist with the same results.
Though the former is more physical and the latter related more to lack of ethics, morality and good intent.
Now, Scumbari is a band, not from Italy but from the
outskirts of Boston.
Scumbari describe themselves as "punk rock trash" which I'm in agreement with, but there's a bit of Oi and hardcore in their traditional, nihilistic punk rock songs as well.
(This is my favorite part) 
Plus, a bit of Medieval English folk music with mandolins and flutes which, unfortunately, though I sense it is there, cannot be heard above the racket of the guitars and
drums.But if I can speak as a rational, sane person which,
obviously, I'm not. (It’s p90 layers
)
I would say that Scumbari has great, straightforward lyrics about jobs, drink and drugs- you know, all the pitfalls of life. Along with rockin' punk influenced music without nearly any traces of trash.
Except for the best parts of life which society tends to
toss away in the waste bin.
Let's gather a layer of frothy grime and listen:
"72 Hours" begins with some chaos and then is jettisoned into super-sonic overdrive with bashing drums and slashing guitars.
"I hear them talking shit about me. It's coming through
the walls." Though the dude's not crazy as he's "been
taking all my meds like I should."
This song is a propulsive rush of speed with an equally
terrific, slower breakdown in the middle.
I may be certifiably insane but I'm also crazy about
this energetic, powerful song.
"Full Time Job" is an adrenaline shot that expresses a
barrage of restlessness, dissatisfaction and anger .
"I could be drinking, can't hold a job, spend all day
drinking- full time slob."
I like this song almost as much as I like drinking.
"I can't stop once I start."
This song doesn't stop as it's a full on non-stop explosion of excitement and energy.
After some great, speaker ripping bass, "Sleaze" comes
busting in like a gang invited to a knife fight.
"I see you looking across the bar. I don't care about
your sign or stars. I don't care what you think. Just as
long as you buy me a drink- Just One Shot!"
This song hits hard and true and ends with the group
vocals of "Drink, Smoke, Snort, Fuck" which I believe
they nicked from the motto of the Christian Evangelist
American Youth Party.
"Hot Shot" blasts out like a pitbull on meth as it goes
for your eardrums and clasps on but won't let go.
I know a hot shot is someone who thinks he's special,
but I also know it's a shot of heroin to take you to the
promised land. Pretty sure the latter is what it means here, and while I can't promise you that I am correct. I'm willing to bet that this song is great enough to take you to the next world and beyond.
Scumbari may not be from Italy and don't play Italian music at that. (Though, I think there might be a bit of accordion that is also drowned out by the other instruments).
(p90s doing full bars in major and minor layered and lowered)
But I'm sure that what they are is a new punk rock (trash) band. And what they play is some hard hittin' sounds that should start a spark inside of you after the music barrels through your ears, mind and heart.
And I guess- I'm now being rational and sane again, and for that I humbly apologize.

But if you like power, rawness, realness and excitement in your music? Music that rips an extra one inside of your ears and your being.Well, I guess, you need not go any further than here.

I’m so happy I tried to take all the double spacing out in all the weird breaks to save space. I’ll delete this later. I’ll delete this later.
