REVIEW - KITCHEN IMPLOSION "Selfish" (2015)
Kitchen Implosion "Selfish" KICD0002
Release date: November 6th, 2015
Running time:36:46, 14 tracks
Usually, fans have to wait a couple of years for the new album by their favourite bands. However, Kitchen Implosion, the Celtic Ramones from the Piedmont are back only 14 months after their first album.
Last year we were surprised by Kitchen Implosion’s debut album “Pretty Work Brave Boys!”. Lorenzo "Wenzo" Prealoni (vocals, tin whistle, bagpipes), Marco "The Egg" Negro (guitar, backing Vocals), Massimo "Ziokartella" Losito (accordion, backing vocals) and Paolo "Cannibal Paul" Pretti (bass, backing vocals) came as a breath of fresh air merging punk-pop, Piedmontese folk and Celtic folk. “Selfish”, their sophomore album, is as good as the band’s impressive debut and you will be bewitched by these bunch of songs.
“Selfish” kicks off with “Custi Strae”. There is a video for this Bruddas infused badass song.
Next song is called “Ausuma la Pinta”. It has an Italian folk touch, but it has been written by Wenzo.
After those excellent numbers in Piedmontese, Kitchen Implosion deliver a catchy song in English, “Tomorrow”.
Track no. 4 is a traditional Piedmontese song featuring bagpipes and tin whistle that gets the pop-punk treatment. It’s followed by “Please Don’t Call Me”, an addictive song with accordion, tin whistle and background vocals.
“Dinta al Bosc” has a tin whistle intro with an Irish twist. Sarah Leo guests on fiddle again (She also played fiddle on “Custi Strae”).
“Rolling Down to Old Maui” is not a pop-punk cover, but a psychobilly take.
Kitchen Implosion’s rendition of the traditional tune “Pifferi di Ivrea” showcases tin whistle, accordion and pipes.
Track no 7 is titled “Dressed in Red” and it’s catchy as hell. Fantastic Ramones infused song that reminds me of Black Tartan Clan.
The four Piedmontese guys switch to their dialect on “Beltrando”, another traditional song that is covered with gusto. Do you remember “La Maire et la Filho” from their previous album? This one has the same twist.
Kitchen Implosion move from the Ramones territory to the Sex Pistols territory on “Disu che Sun Fora”
“Junk Food” blends Ramones (the sound) and Descendents (the lyrics) influences.
“Just Another Song” is a bagpipes song that starts with an accordion intro. Excellent number with a Bodh’aktan’s spirit.
To finish up, Kitchen Implosion deliver an instrumental version of “Auld Lang Syne” featuring synthesizers and, obviously, bagpipes.
“Selfish” packaging is a jewel case with a 4 page booklet. The album was recorded by The Egg “in various basements, bedrooms and kitchens and mixed and mastered in his bedroom”. Band’s line-up and links are stated, together with the thank-yous. No lyrics are included, but all of them are available at their Bandcamp page, together with the English translations for the songs in Piedmontese or Occitain.
2015 has been a good year for the Italian Celtic punk scene, as the likes of Dirty Artichokes, The Dogs from The Grapes, Strawdaze, Lennon Kelly or Incenere have released excellent albums. Kitchen Implosion are no exception and they are back with a vengeance. Go ahead and grab a copy of “Selfish”

REVIEW - KITCHEN IMPLOSION "Pretty Work Brave Boys" (2014)
Kitchen Implosion "Pretty Work Brave Boys!" Associazione Culturale QuaTrad KICD0001
Release date: 5 September 2014
Running time. 33:30, 13 tracks
Kitchen Implosion is a Piedmontese/Celtic folk punk band. The guys have been around for a while with a previous folk rock incarnation of the band called In the Kitchen. However, they felt that the In the Kitchen format was already done, but they have a lot of things to say with a different approach. Then Kitchen Implosion, a Ramones infused folk punk band was born.
Both In the Kitchen (November 2012) and Kitchen Implosion (February 2014) have been our Band of the Month. Kitchen Implosion released a demo and they caught my attraction straightaway. Then, when I heard that the guys had released their debut album, I knew that I had to review it. Italy has a burgeoning scene and I’m proud of them. There are a lot of different bands and all of them have something special. Nevertheless, I must admit that I was a little bit concerned. I’m trying to push new bands, but at the same time I’m a little bit fed up with the overexposed standards. And the new album has some of them.
After giving the CD a few spins, my worries had disappeared. These guys are bloody brilliant!!! “Pretty Work Brave Boys” list 13 tracks. Most of them are covers (traditional or almost traditional covers). Only 4 or 5 of them could be considered over-exposed numbers, but Kitchen Implosion have been able to present them in a different way. The rest of the songs are some Piedmontese/Italian folk numbers (5 tracks), 1 cover of a shanty (“Sam’s Gone Away”), 1 cover of a Tommy Makem song (“Four Green Fields”) and 1 self-penned tune (“Larmor Beach”). “Valsesia”, “La Bergera” and ”Larmor Beach” were previously released by In the Kitchen (Go to their Bandcamp page to listen to them), but the new versions are totally different.
The first song on the album was already on the demos and it’s a fantastic “Danny Boy” rendition in the Bruddas vein. The next number is from Piedmontese origin and it’s sung in the dialect from that region. It’s a a fast paced version featuring bagpipes and one could say that Kitchen Implosion become a sort of a Piedmontese Ramoneurs de Menhirs.
“Barbagal” is another catchy number sung in Piedmontese. The song was recorded by the main Piedmontese folk band, Cantovivo, and apparently the music is from English origin.
“Four Green Hills” is the best example of a Celtic punk rendition of an (almost) Traditional song. The guys have made a top-notch rendition of the Tommy Makem classic. Hats-off!
The following track is a cover of “Sam’s Gone Away”. After listening to this, you’ll be sure that Sam didn’t go away. He was taken away by the KKK.
Another track in Piedmontese, “La Bergera”. It’s an interesting rendition with accordion and tin whistle.
"Scotland the Brave" gets a DKM treatment, that is, bagpipes punk at its best. But I’d like to draw your attention to the great intro at the beginning of the track.
“The Merry Ploughboy” has the three chord approach by the Ramones and it’s followed by “Valsesia”, a Partisan song which is sung in standard Italian. Amazing anti-fascist song.
One of my faves is “La maire e la filho”. I felt that this song was sung in a different dialect closer to French and the guys have told me that in fact it’s sung in Occitain/Provençal mixed with some Piedmontese. Did I tell that these guys sound like the Piedmontese Ramoneurs de Menhirs?
The album finishes up with “Larmor Beach”, an instrumental that will remind you to Quentin Tarantino films OST.
And it’s over. My advice: contact Kitchen Implosion and grab a copy of this CD. The Jewel case CD have a 4 page booklet with the lyrics to all the Italian songs and their translations into English. Most of the songs are covers, but the punk (pop) twist gives them a new lease of life and the selection of songs is remarkable. Congrats to our Italian friends. Enjoy!!!

01 - Danny Boy 3:15
02 - Magg 2:09
