In May-June 2002 the band play in many squats, also outside Venice. Talco present the newest song "L'Odore Della Morte", against war on Iraq and America's foreign politics in Irak, Cile, Latin America, ecc.
October 2002: friendship between Talco and comrades of C.P.O. Gramigna (Padua) begins. Gramigna is a squat in Padua, always in front line and socially pawned: big bands (like Senza Sicura) have their roots there. In that night Talco's show featured "Sessant'Anni", new track on Democrazia Cristiana, the italian party that ruled Italy until not so long ago. Together with C.P.O. Gramigna the band played in many other fantastic gigs (the band played with Malasuerte, punk-rock band from C.P.A. Firenze Sud; in Piazza dei Signori, Padua, for the Liberation Day from nazi scum, 25 april and more...). Two more great and unforgettable shows: the ones during a strike against Berlusconi's government. On both occasions Talco played in the middle of the crowd on a camion, followed by a moving procession.
Grown un in Marghera, city famous for pollution and death caused by Petrolchimico industries, Talco are in first line to rise against the situation: a gig in Marghera's square, with lots of people in memory of the dead workers of "Petrolchimico", remind their political and social pawn.
In September 2003 live shows are interrupted in order to record the first studio disc: 10 higly-politic songs. "Signor Presidente", against Berlusconi and, mostly, antifascist, is presented at the C.S.O.A. Zona Bandita (Venice) together with Marones, comrades from Perugia.
October 2004: the first cd "Tutti assolti" is out, produce by Kob Records and Black Butcher Records.
Talco are a strightly antifascist and against racism ska-punk band. They believe in music independence and in the message it has to send against every kind of discriminations.
Domingo Road
Talco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Su di una sfera a peso di procura
Chimica pozion'
Per ciabattari gonfi a dismisura
Poi al triplice final'
Grugniti in nero sotto protezione
E giornalai in chiara simulazion'
Calan' su Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Via la moviola è qua
Tra voluttà e cervelli in differita
Ad allungar vago recupero
Calan' su Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
Domingo Road, Domingo Road
The lyrics in Talco's song Domingo Road convey a sense of frustration and disillusionment with the world of professional football, as well as with the media industry that surrounds it. The opening lines describe the start of a game, with the ball being kicked off and references to performance-enhancing drugs for the players' shoes. The scene is set for a corrupt and cynical environment, where the only goal is to win at all costs.
The second verse turns its attention to the media coverage of the sport, with the phrase "ad allungar vago recupero" suggesting that the replay technology is being exploited to prolong a sense of excitement and drama. The repeated chorus of "Domingo Road" seems to be a reference to a location where all of these elements come together, perhaps a highway where fans travel to attend games or where media outlets are based.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a world that is insincere and shallow, where even the most beloved pastimes have become corrupted by greed and manipulation. Talco's lyrics give voice to a sense of disillusionment that many people feel in the face of an increasingly commercialized and commodified culture.

I love how you mark Iruña and Bilbao as Euskal Herria and Vic and El Morell as Catalunya. It' is a small gesture, but it certainly means a lot. Thanks <3
