BAND OF THE DAY: DEATH BEFORE WORK

Italy in 2011 bears a slight resemblance to the US in the '80s – an unpopular, aging plutocrat, a staunchly right wing government, a climate of boom matched by recession, squats, punks, Nazis and thrash metal. It's no surprise then, to hear the Nazi-baiting crossover thrash of Milan's utterly raucous Death Before Work simultaneously tick both boxes in the Good Crossover Guide with floor-punching hardcore aggression matched by high octane crossover shred.

Unafraid to throw in a few laughs while they chastise the scene for its failings, Death Before Work have a new album out April/May 2011 but their most recent disc, the 'Bomb the Vatican' Cdr can be downloaded with the band's blessing.
