December 1994: Godiva Grunge Live


Music on: www.myspace.com/godivagrunge

The style of the first track really surprised me! The rapping is a bit like Plan B (this newish UK rapper) and the singing is really soulful! It's really original mixing those styles, really interesting. The tracks have some really nice touches to it on the music side too. Kairo, Riviera F

I liked the different styles and combination of genres. In one way very current and also quite traditional with the more mellow singing. Only Queen sounds a bit like Eminem. I liked Puppies the most.. Very early 80's. A bit Ultravox maybe? Cool. Alexa x, Riviera F

The voice is strong, it has its own personalità and I like it. My favourite track is Only Queen. It takes me back to certain Lou Reed sound that I love. Andrea Chimenti

…they have bet on the acoustic and they won the prize. With the help of an outstanding sound, tracks such as Verso Naussa or Tornare a casa, perchè? Are able to get you involved, thanks to the very well done arrangements and the sensitivity of the musicians. …an applause to these guys. They have been able to give life to a product that is both sophisticated and, at the same time, personal…. (article about an acoustic demo tape on Hard magazine, Italy )

As far as the B side, you find the more advanced line up where the arrangements are acoustic and the mandolin gives a special flavor to the tracks of the band, telling stories of today’s life… (artiche of a demo tape on La Voce di RE, Italy)

…the covers they propose (…) are very unusual and different from the original. Such an acoustic set list is, in other terms, something new within the Italian rock scene. Whoever has had the opportunity to listen to the band swears that soon they will become famous. ( La Gazzetta di MO, Italy)

…they have been able to show up thanks to the particular tracks which are very intense when played live, and they showed a live act that is very effective. The sound they play is in essence the cross of the most innovative trends of the contemporary rock…. ( La Voce di RE, Italy)

… one of the most interesting band of the large scene of bands from Reggio Emilia; as you can see from the several dates they play during the winter (…) they have shown how choosing a very personal musical path can also pay in terms of audience at their show…. (from News Spettacolo, italy)

…they are considered from “the experts” as a very succesfull band; as it is shown seeing the concerts they are playing and the many times that their latest demo is played on the national radios… ( La Gazzetta di RE, Italy)
