What, you've never heard of the coolest Italian rock 'n' roll band? Based in Milan, Italy, Giovanni "John" Volpe and Sofia Castelli make up the nucleus of this very unique take on American-style rock-with-sampling. Worth checking out for the song titles alone: "Mr. Magoo Cocktail Massacre" and "Squirtgun Jellyvision Digital Diva" are only two of the gems contained within. I'm fairly sure that their website is the only place in America you can get this stuff.
