Editor's note

Talco's Italian ska punk with a political edge

A Marghera band that turned partisan anthems and social commentary into festival-ready energy.

For their sound, 'Bella Ciao' is the obvious touchstone. For their stance, try 'La Casa Dell'impunità', it's all there in the title.

Their version of 'Bella Ciao' became a signature track, connecting their modern ska-punk sound to Italy's protest song tradition. Songs like 'La Casa Dell'impunità' and 'Signor Presidente' keep that political thread alive, giving their brass-heavy arrangements something to rally around. They've built a reputation on live shows where the message and the mosh pit share equal space.

They formed in Marghera in 1999, spending early years touring hard to build an audience. Albums like 2006's 'Combat Circus' and 2015's 'Silent Town' document their mix of ska, punk, and folk, with a lineup anchored by Delio Caporale and the Formentin brothers. They've stayed active in the international ska scene, known for performances that deliver their social themes with relentless energy.
