P P Band - Candy Candy

Review by Nelio Guerson

Candy Candy by P.P. Band: A Riot of Hardcore Punk from '88 That Still Kicks Ass Alright, let’s talk about Candy Candy by the Italian rockers P.P. Band—a gem (or maybe a jagged piece of glass) from 1988 that screams hardcore punk with no apologies. Released on some random label called "Not On Label," this album is raw, unfiltered, and hits like a brick to the face. And honestly? That's why it works. First off, if you’re into polished production and fancy studio tricks, this ain’t your jam. But if you dig music that feels like it was recorded in someone’s garage during an all-night bender, then buckle up. The band throws down five tracks that are as chaotic as they are memorable. Let me break it down for ya. Tracks That Stick Like Gum Under Your Seat Let’s start with “Carabiniere.” Oh man, this one’s a wild ride. It’s got this relentless energy that makes you wanna smash something—or at least throw your fists in the air like a lunatic. The vocals sound like they were shouted through a megaphone stolen from a protest rally, and the guitar riffs hit harder than your drunk uncle at Christmas dinner. I remember this track because it’s basically two minutes of pure adrenaline wrapped in snarling lyrics about cops or authority figures (I think?). Whatever it means, it’s catchy as hell and leaves you breathless. Then there’s “Bimbi Morti.” Whoa, heavy title, right? This one slaps you across the face and doesn’t even apologize afterward. The bassline groans like a haunted house floorboard while the drums hammer away like they’ve got something to prove. There’s just enough melody peeking through the chaos to make it stick in your brain. Plus, the way the singer spits out those words—it’s like he’s daring you to look away. Dark but oddly addictive. Why Should You Care? Okay, so Candy Candy isn’t gonna win any Grammys (not that they existed back then for this kinda stuff anyway). But what it lacks in polish, it makes up for in sheer attitude. These guys weren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they were too busy kicking it down the hill and laughing maniacally. And sure, Italy might not be the first place you think of when it comes to hardcore punk, but that’s part of the charm. It’s like finding a secret club where everyone speaks their own language—except here, the language is distortion pedals and pissed-off vocals. Final Thoughts So yeah, Candy Candy is messy, loud, and probably gave someone’s parents a heart attack back in the day. But damn if it doesn’t still hold up today. Listening to it feels like stumbling into a time machine set to “chaos mode.” If you’re looking for background music for your next existential crisis—or just wanna annoy your neighbors—this is your ticket. Oh, and fun fact: apparently, the band didn’t bother signing with a real label. Maybe they knew the world wasn’t ready for them. Or maybe they just couldn’t find anyone brave enough to say yes. Either way, good call, P.P. Band. Keep doing you.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s a cool fact: The Italian rock band P P Band released their album *Candy Candy* in 1988, blending hardcore and punk styles. It was raw, unfiltered, and totally independent—released without a formal label under "Not On Label." Tracks like *Carabiniere* and *Bimbi Morti* hit hard with gritty energy, capturing the rebellious spirit of the era. Not your typical candy-coated music!
