Giuda is a five-piece band from Rome, Italy. Their mix of anthemic 70s glam hooks and the punchy delivery of early UK punk, has stunned listeners all across the globe. Their debut album "Racey Roller", famously described by Robin Wills (The Barracudas) as "Cock Sparrer twinned with the Equals", has quickly become an underground sensation, highly praised by publications as diverse as Mojo, Rolling Stone and Maximum RocknRoll. "Racey Roller", recorded with vintage all-analogue studio equipment by studio sorcerers Ufo Hi-Fi, and graced with an iconic cover art courtesy of French designer and glam fanatic Tony CrazeeKid, was extremely well received when we released it last year. Working from the same glammy three-chord blueprint as groups like Slade, T. Rex,Faces, Mud, Status Quo, and the Sweet, Giuda take you back to a monumental bygone era of rocknroll. Specifically the early 70's pre-punk, glitter days when music was all about monstrousriffs, boisterous attitudes, high energy experimentation and fun. Giuda take that same glammy, proto-punk foundation and fuse it with the grimy, tattered muck of bands like Third World War, Eddie And The Hot Rods and Cock Sparrer to create a timeless arsenal of glam injected, pub rock classics. The story of Giuda begins in 2007 and is inextricably connected with that of Romes punk rock integralists Taxi. When Taxis career was cut short by the tragic passing of their drummer, singer Tenda and lead guitarist Lorenzo regrouped as Giuda. The current lineup is rounded out by guitarist Michele adding a second layer of boogie sparks to the mix, while bassist Danilo (himself from an early incarnation of Taxi) and drummer Daniele constitute the groovy yet solid rhythm bedrock without which no good rnr could ever be created. Self-confessed Giuda fan Phil King (Lush, Jesus And Mary Chain) wrote in Shindig!: "their performance transported me back to the heady days of watching punk groups play in the back rooms of dodgy London pubs in 1977?. Robin Wills agrees: "This is the most fun I have enjoyed watching a live band since The Fleshtones in their prime. This is no single minded retro trip, but pure energy, loud, tight and concise."
