Splatterpink

Splatterpink is an Italian avant-garde band formed in 1990 by lead singer and bassist Diego D'Agata. Known for their eclectic and energetic sound, they blend elements of punk rock, hardcore punk, jazz, and funk, often incorporating a saxophone into their music. This unique blend has led them to be considered precursors to the math rock genre. The band's history has been marked by lineup changes, but they have maintained a strong presence in the Italian underground scene. Notable albums include "Industrie Jazzcore" and "Mongoflashmob," which showcase their experimental and dynamic style.

Over the years, Splatterpink has gained recognition for their intense live performances and innovative music. They have been praised by critics and have had the support of influential figures like John Peel, who featured them on BBC Radio. Despite periods of hiatus, the band has continued to evolve, with recent lineup changes and new releases, such as "The Best of Italian Music" in 2022. Their music is characterized by surreal and often disturbing lyrics, set against a backdrop of complex rhythms and deconstructed musical structures.
