Giuda are a five piece from Rome, Italy, and feature formers members of renowned Italian punks Taxi. Now I’ve been to Rome this year, and it would appear that the majority of the population are aware that it is 2013, Giuda it would appear have either been a coma for the last 30 odd years or just couldn’t give a shit. I lean toward the latter.
‘Let’s Do It Again’ bursts out the gate like a Ford Cortina, blissfully unaware that it’s the space age and everyone lives on the internet, listening to digital versions of things and generally going square eyed. It’s bloody marvellous. There’s a sort of innocence to it in the way in that it sounds stripped back and timeless.
I’m not a massive fan of the modern world, and bands like Giuda really float my boat by not caring about modern trends and sounds. This is an album completed routed in glam rock/punk rock. It is full of sing-a-long anthems such as the opening ‘Wild Tiger Woman’, the football terrace style ‘Get That Goal’ and the likes of ‘Rave On’. There’s no doubting their influences. They’re all on here, and I find it thoroughly enjoyable in this cynical plastic world we currently live in. If you like the sound of pretty much all the obvious bands from the mid 70’s glam rock era – Sweet, Mud, Slade etc. you couldn’t help but fall a little bit in love with Giuda.
‘Yellow Dash’ would could easily have been plucked from one of Status Quo’s 879 albums but, hey, what of it? The fantastic ‘Roller Skates Rule OK’ has a Thin Lizzy air about it, and really captures that sense of pure fun that Giuda seem to exude. They’re clearly not a band that are worrying about anything other than making some great rock and roll songs and having fun while doing so. You could pictures these alongside modern contemporaries like Rebel Republic and Turbonegro with their no-nonsense sense of total fun. This sounds like flares, old pubs, crap beer and damn good times.
