From a small town in Mantua to the BBC broadcast of Iggy Pop: this is the fairy tale that Bee Bee Sea are writing. Wilson Wilson, Giacomo Parisio and Andrea Onofrio, tell about the boredom of provincial life, feeling stuck, being broke with incendiary live

From a small town in Mantua to the BBC broadcast of IGGY POP.

This is the fable that Bee Bee Sea are writing. The boredom of provincial life. Feeling stuck. Being broke. There is all this in their music. Yet none of this has stopped the Mantua-based trio from touring Italy and the world, enhancing their reputation as a crazy, incendiary live band. After more than 300 concerts since the release of the successful "Sonic Boomerang," Bee Bee Sea are ready to launch "Day Ripper," their third and most intense album, released by Bergamo-based Wild Honey Records. The Bee Bee Sea - Wilson Wilson on guitar and vocals, Giacomo Parisio on bass and Andrea Onofrio on drums - met right out of high school and immediately bonded, thanks to music. "When there's no good shit around you better form a band" goes their motto - and so they did.

Two albums and several singles later, they are now ready to unleash the power of their "Day Ripper" everywhere, a record strained on the edge and fueled by frustration: "ripper - ripper" is the right word to describe it. Written in late 2018 and early 2019, it was composed the same way all their music is born: by improvising, experimenting with pedals or simply following the riffs and sounds in their heads. Ten songs make up the tracklist of "Day Ripper."

From the catchy and effervescent "Be Bop Palooza," to the wild and dirty garage punk of "Drags Me Down" and "Telephone," it's a record that catapults you across the room before pinning you against the wall and screaming straight into your face. The songs follow one another relentlessly, breathlessly, super-fast drums and frantic chords occasionally teetering on the brink of noise collapse. Yet this chaos is exactly what makes "Day Ripper" so compelling and so much fun.
