BIOGRAPHY:

Los Fastidios born in Verona (north east of Italy) in late 1991 led by Enrico (he is also the founder of the indipendent label KOB Records).

The Los Fastidios sound is a powerful melodic streetska&punk which mixes classical 80’s British Punk-Oi! sounds with a lot of skanking moments and some reggae, rock'n'roll and a touch of pop, sung in italian and english with some touches in french, spanish and german languages. 

The lyrics come from the most cheerful street situations to more serious and involved matters which deal with social problems, against racism and any form of discrimination, for the human and animal rights, for freedom and against the capitalistic and oppressive system.
During the years, Los Fastidios have archieved great number of anti-racist intiatives and social causes,by taking part in various support gigs with collections in favour of Chiapas, Mapuche, Palestine, for the workers, against racism, for the animal rights, against war, against capitalism and neoliberism...
