The story of Truzzi Broders is not just the story of a band, it is also the story of a city and a music scene.
Inside we find a Turin that is discovering the crisis of its industrial soul, the hardship of the suburbs and the young people in search of their own identity.
But it is also a lively city, where you can breathe a creative energy that gives life to a music scene that is a point of reference throughout Italy.
These were crucial years for the city, which transformed from a deserted city to a vibrant city thanks to the commitment and ideas of a group of young people barely out of their teens.
A very important and little-talked-about period that the new generations ignore.
We, who didn't experience it, liked the idea of telling it through the eyes of the Truzzi Broders, perhaps because, in a certain sense, it's also a bit like our own.
Truzzi Broders are influenced by punk, especially in their self-production, do-it-yourself approach, and their desire to make music with whatever means they have.
Musically, however, they are different, they propose raw rock sung in Italian.
And their attitude is different too: the anger is there, but it's filtered through irony and self-irony, they don't take themselves too seriously and it shows in their lyrics and live performances.
Contemporary critics labeled them as insane, even though, on closer inspection, there was little that was insane about them.
They love to tell the story of everyday life, the lives of young people in the neighborhoods, and the problems of Turin at the time.
To use their words:
"It's to get out of our neighborhoods alive that we rock, man.".
