Alright punks, strap in — Italy’s about to spit some fire straight into your headphones with a face-melting, heart-thumping SPLIT from two of the underground’s loudest: Weekend Cigarettes (Alessandria) and Verse, Chorus, Inferno (Como). Thirteen tracks, no filler — just pure, blood-pumping punk rock with a brain, a soul, and a middle finger to the algorithm.
On one side, Weekend Cigarettes fire back with 6 tracks soaked in raw Alessandria angst, tracked and produced by the ever-talented Biagio Totaro. Their side of the wax hits a little more punk rock. It’s got edge, it’s got teeth, and it’s got riffs that make your neck hurt in the best way.
Meanwhile, Verse, Chorus, Inferno drop 7 absolute bangers — tracked between Como and Milan with none other than Chris Fogal (you know, the legend behind Black in Bluhm Studio). Fogal brought his signature grit to their sound, dialing up those layered melodies and punchy hooks that scream pop punk with scars. Think ’90s drive with a 2024 heart — mature and melodic..
Both sides are getting the final sonic slap from Fogal again, this time in Lugano, Switzerland — so yeah, it’s gonna sound as good as it bleeds.

Released in March 2025 on all digital platforms and in a limited-edition colored vinyl (only 300 copies, capito?). It’s punk with melody, guts, and that unmistakable Italian flavor — like espresso with a shot of kerosene.
