13 Bastardi formed in Bergamo, Lombardy in 2003 with Marco "Peste" Callegaro on vocals, Mattia "Matt" Bianchi on guitar, Andrea "Tony" Mangano on bass, and Matteo "Jash" Zanetti on drums. Their name translates to "13 Bastards," which gives a sense of their anti-establishment stance from the start.
Their debut album 'A Guerr Pe' Sord' came out in 2004, with the title track becoming something of an anthem for their fans. They've kept up a steady release schedule since then, putting out albums like 'Fronte Unito' in 2006, 'Disciplina' in 2010, and 'L'Ultimo Inchiostro' in 2020.
Their songs often deal with social injustice and political corruption, delivered through blistering riffs and Peste's visceral lyrics. Tracks like 'Demoni,' 'Jamm,' and 'Napoli' show their raw, aggressive approach to Italian hardcore.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
