TUTTI PARZE
Self titled 7” Package
Inner City Sound
Limited to 250
A long time ago, I was at a party, and happened to be
wearing a Conflict T-Shirt. A guy with a Poison Idea “Pick your King” T-Shirt
came up to me and said “great T-Shirt”. I said “yours is better”. “Why” he asks
me “because Poison Idea are the Kings of Punk” I said. “Yeah” he replied, “but
Conflict are the angriest”. And we
left it at that and kept chatting. If Conflict were the angriest, then Tutti Parze
were the most Pissed Off.
Sydney's Tutti Parze existed for a short time somewhere from the late 80's to the early 90's.
I saw Tutti Parze a couple of times just before they broke up in the early 1990’s at the
Jellyheads warehouse and The Vic on the Park Pub (which I’m pretty sure was their last
show). Full On. I remember one of our straight (not not gay, just ....”normal”)
friends came along to that show, and he just watched with his mouth open and
said later on “I’ve never seen anything like that before, or anyone that angry on stage”.
Tutti Parze played at
a time when there was a lot more mixed bills with punk/crust/grind/metal/thrash bands. I remember a friend who had seen them a lot, and had taken some metal head mates to see them told me the metal heads had said they were has one of
the heaviest sounding bands that they
had ever heard.
With the unique, distinctively heavy
guitar sound of the late Billy Hughes
(RIP) this is angry, pissed off, political, heavy hitting anarcho crust punk.
The 7” comprises the only 4 tracks Tutti Parze ever recorded.
I remember getting the “Sounds of ordinary Madness” CD comp years ago because
it had two Tutti Parze songs on it, and it’s great now to hear them on vinyl.
The other two were released on another comp a few years later.
This package comprises the 7” record, with original art work
(from a flyer I think), a live CD, sticker, and badge. The CD is a patchy recording from a live gig,
but the heavy sound is well evident, and singer Wil’s tirades are well audible.
The CD is worth it alone for the booklet containing comprehensive notes, and
some great pics.
It comes in a hand sewn “Tutti Parze” bag . This is a really
well put together package, and it’s suited to the 7” format perfectly. Great Stuff,
and it's great that this has been finally released. http://innercityuprising.
