Pizza Mental Attitude

Face Your Enemy is back with Pizza Mental Attitude, a homage to the finest of what Italian cuisine has to offer. Caserta region of Italy has a reputation of being a place where you can get some of the best pizza the country has to offer so these dudes know what they're talking about. Very dope way to set the tone for the upcoming release 'Toxic Vendetta' EP and bonus points for the Italian lyrics giving this song a cool vibe. If you wanna give FYE some support and cop some fly gear, check out their merch here.

Video: Face Your Enemy - Do The Right Thing

My people from Italy have just dropped another video for the song off the Do The Right Thing album, this time it's the title track!

Face Your Enemy - Do The Right Thing

Face Your Enemy is back to drop bombs on your ass. The band has cooked up ten new tracks which are no doubt their best work to date. I still dig their previous albums, but this shit over here is definitely step in good direction. They moved away from the typical beatdown sounds of their previous outputs and focused on more vibrant sound. The music still goes hard and heavy, but they keep it diversified with a lot of different influences running from traditional hardcore to straight up metal.

Face Your Enemy to drop new album: 'Do The Right Thing'

The italian band is back with the upcoming follow up album to “Message In A Bomb”'s 2011. It will be entitled “Do The Right Thing” and will be produced by Urban Discipline (Ita)/CBC(Caserta Beatdown Clan). The album is scheduled to be released in June 2012. It is the Fourth chapter for the southern band always up with the heaviest hardcore influenced by rap and metal. “Do The Right Thing” was recorded and mixed by Marco (Traces Of You). Announced featuring with Ivan from Straight Opposition.

Dome, the singer of the band, says: “Do The Right Thing” is just a tribute to all the stuff which left a mark on our generation, grown up between the nineties and the two-thousands. We have taken all the music, the albums, the covers, the comics, the movies, etc... which influenced our lives and then we have grinded, mixed them and then played them with our style. This is “Do The Right Thing”, hardcore like a lifestyle according to Face Your Enemy.

Face Your Enemy Interview

The first thing that you immediately notice about this band is how dedicated those guys are – without a big label behind their back and with limited resources they managed to record couple of albums, make couple of videos and got facebook page filled with some high quality pictures. Sure, I agree, hardcore goes much deeper than visual appearance, but it still tells you something about the band and how serious their attitude is. Check out the previous interview we did to learn more about the basic info on the band, this one has been done after their last album ‘Message In A Bomb’ dropped. Even thought it might have taken me some time to finally put it online, it’s still a good read!

Even thought it might have taken me some time to finally put it online, it’s still a good read!

Could you tell us what’s been happening with Face Your Enemy Since we last talked?
Hi Bro, I'm really happy to hear from you again! It's unbelievable, but during only one year many things are changed in FYE. It would be difficult to explain the entire story in few words but I'll try anyway:
new drummer, new tattoos, new energy, new shit.

So the Message In A Bomb is finally out. What can you tell us about this album? How does it differ from your previous albums?
We are so proud of “Message in a Bomb”! I think that the title describes very well the sound and the lyrics. In this album we've reached a more personal groove than the previous ones.


Lyrically, what are some of the things you sing about on the album?
We don't like intellectual stuff. We sing about the typical hardcore themes: life experiences, hardcore scene, friendship and loyalty but in a personal style. Through our words we push to face life in a positive way. Don't forget that the energy to survive in this fuckin' hell is within yourself.

What is CBC about?
CBC means Caserta Beatdown Commando. Caserta is the city where we come from, Beatdown is our attitude and Commando is a crew about 30 persons, who believe in the same values. We organize shows, make parties and we play in different bands: Face your Enemy, Still in Da Game, Da 4th, One Shall Stand. CBC is not only about music, but also about writing, photography and tattoos (Rockin' ink, Deep Down Empire). Check it out!

How did the Beastie Boys and rap in general influences come about?
I think that rap and hardcore are very similar, especially in the message and the attitude. When we started to listen music, we didn't care if it was metal, hardcore or rap, so a lot of influences came from Beastie Boys ,from Madball or Slayer as well.

You guys did an European tour last year with Embrace Destruction. What do you remember the most from this experience?
It's been a wonderful experience, thanks to Luca from Embrace Destruction, we'll remember it forever. 25 gigs in 25 days across the Europe. It has been difficult but the pleasure to play every single day demonstrating our own style and attitude, have no price.

Any plans for more shows in Europe in the upcoming months?
We've just shared the stage with Terror and Madball last summer, and played some gig in Belgium and Netherlands. We are planning some shows in Europe and maybe in Russia. We really wanna come back in Poland! There is a very cool scene.

What’s your opinion about the Italian hardcore scene nowadays? Bands like Vendetta, Purification or Rise Or Defeat are real good and making noise on the international level…
In my opinion the worldwide hardcore scene is in crisis. The eye of the music trend is now on other scenes. I love this situation because only the true bands survive, and also in Italy there are some bands that have dedication and passion. I know Carlo and Rise after Defeat and they are really good, but we like and support also other italian bands like Straight Opposition, Embrace Destruction, As A Drop Of Blood, Don't Forget, Attitude, To Ed Gein(RIP), Sikspak, Behind The Mask...check them on the web;)


And are you into classic Italian hardcore like Wretched or Raw Power?
Oh! Cool man! Italy has a big tradition in hardcore! We love a lots of bands from 80's and 90's, Negazione and Raw Power first of all! Also in Caserta there is a veteran band called Bandiera dell'Odio, we know and respect them. Without this kind of bands maybe we will never have existed.

Thanks for the interview. Anything you’d like to add before we wrap it up?
I wanna thanks you for the support and good luck with Hard Boiled. Like Mogwai say “hardcore will never die but you will”! Face your enemy remember the name!
