Out today\u00a0October 30, 2020<\/strong>\u00a0via\u00a0Slimer Records <\/strong>after the streaming premiere on Son Of Marketing<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0Nevah<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0marks a stylistic turning point for the Italian band\u00a0Diplomatics<\/strong><\/a>: their brand new single, looking in a\u00a0post-punk<\/strong>\u00a0and<\/strong>\u00a0new wave<\/strong>\u00a0direction, is characterized by\u00a0a semi-spoken vocal line and acid and nervous guitars, with effected arpeggios. The rough approach of the band from Venice gains in freshness and groove, influenced by groups belonging to today’s British scene, starting with Fontaines D.C. to continue with Shame, IDLES and Savages: \u201cEach of us had a difficult period between the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. We got close to these bands because of the absolutely sincere anger that they are able to unleash with their poetic disposition, helping to make punk current again and transforming themselves into new points of reference<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n

New points of reference that the boys add to their\u00a0rock, punk and soul<\/strong>\u00a0background, derived from the New York of the 70s but capable of mixing with a crossover attitude various influences such as, among others, Stooges, Rolling Stones, Velvet Underground, The Clash, Ramones, Grateful Dead, Isley Brothers and Stone Roses.<\/p>\n

Nevah<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0deals with an extraterrestrial who landed on Earth and, despite being fascinated by the beauty of our planet, is disappointed by what he sees around him: sad, lonely people, dissatisfied in a world in disarray. The\u00a0misanthropy<\/strong>\u00a0of the lyrics represents the band\u2019s state of mind in this unique historical period, a self-examination of conscience.<\/p>\n

The recordings were made in February 2020 by\u00a0Brown Barcella<\/strong>\u00a0at the\u00a0T.U.P. Studio<\/strong>, in Brescia: a choice due to the love for\u00a0analog sounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0cover artwork<\/strong>\u00a0is by the well-known graphic designer\u00a0Raissa Pardini<\/strong>, living in Glasgow and working for many artists including IDLES, The Orielles and Mistery Jets.<\/p>\n

Nevah<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is\u00a0accompanied by a\u00a0videoclip<\/strong>\u00a0made by\u00a0Edoardo Bocchi<\/strong>\u00a0with a succession of snappy and frenetic shots in the hills of the Vicenza province, in abandoned and decadent places\u00a0that constitute a dystopian scenario in line with the themes of the text.<\/p>\n
