Last night a band saved my life and its name is... GIUDA!


I don’t “do” new acts, but last night I saw the best new band I have seen for over 20 years.
Imagine Cock Sparrer twinned with The Equals at their most hard-hitting with great original tunes.
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.

There have an LP and single...where they wear their influences on their sleeve. Giuda are playing again tonight (Sunday) in London again at The Stags Head in Dalston, just in case anyone can catch them in time before they depart these shores.


Top marks and a very rare Purepop endorsement.

If anyone is interested in ordering the vinyl version of this release, you need to go to the Deadbeat Records "rare/collectibles" dropdown menu to get to the right place. 7" is still listed as available, btw.

Kinda reminds me of early Eddie & the Hot Rods,who,at the time were produced by glam rocker Andy Mc Kay of Roxy Music...Good stuff!

Just discovered this band after being a TAXI fan. Wow! best album I've heard in a long time. Right up my alley. I doubt there is any chance of them coming to the US(?) I need to know when they'll be back in London or if they play often around Italy because I'm going to be making the trip over there next year.
