REVIEWS/RECENSIONI "This week the spaghettie indie pop ska sound of the amazing "Heatwaves" from Italy, cool italian charm meets quirky indie ska pop, boys and girls go wild for them. Heatwaves, our first new Tune of the Week for 2008 - check them out as they tour the UK and play london shows in March blast into 2008! Remember where you heard them first!" - Paul T, FMS agency (UK)
"The Heatwaves are an Italian punk, ska rock band with some catchy lyrics and bouncy rhythms. Made up of three Sicilian kids, The Heatwaves work an up tempo performance while mixing in some rock ballads into their arsenal. I would describe them as having Ramones like tendencies with a mix of European flavor. Their music is fun and they are quickly picking up a fan base away from home in places like England and the States. With performances at places like Circolo degli Artisti, Zoobar or Radio Cafè, the Heatwaves had an opportunity to spread their friendly sound to open ears."Cant Dose My Feelings" is a bouncy happy song with recurring lyrics throughout but remains quite enjoyable. "Your invitation can set on fire my obsession/your warm temptation may make me rise my "passion"", "Yeah do it do it! Betray your life and do it". It almost feels like if someone started a punk band and rocked out in the garage, only the band was talented and the songs were decently put together… did you get that?"Sometimes I Can't Find My Car" is another energetic song with bouncing guitar rhythms and consistent pace. Similar structure to the previous song with some more repetitive lyrics… "Love you love you la da da da da". A song about drinking red wine and sometimes not finding your car, come on… you got to appreciate that. And fans of Ska/ Punk will appreciate these Italians.I Love You I Hope You Don't Mind feels like a song about a passionate obsession. Once again, repetitive lyrics are reiterated here and show their love for this woman. "Yeah I would see my eyes with your eyes/and kiss my lips with your lips". Another catchy, poppy song.Check out The Heatwaves on their MySpace page listed above for some sample songs and news. It's quite an impressive version of Punk/Ska from these fellas from Rome; the accent really gives them a sweet sound. When you take a listen I'm sure at least one of these tunes will get stuck in your head… I'm struggling with that right now. The Heatwaves have been heard now it's time for my dinner, Pasta anyone? Mangia! Mangia!" " - Dan Rondinelli, Indie in Tune (USA)
"Picture the Pete Doherty of old, after a few pipes in the rawest of Babyshambles performances: very upbeat but raw as ya like. Fratellis type tunes but even the voice is distorted... Ramshackle charm in spades!" - Bugbear agency (UK)
"Hanno aperto gli Heatwaves, trio romano dedito a una sorta di minimale party/punk con poche altre ambizioni se non quella di far ballare e divertire il pubblico presente. Missione, peraltro, perfettamente compiuta, con i tre musici (Danilo alla voce e chitarra, Francesco alla batteria e Giuseppe al basso) saliti sul palco inizialmente mascherati, che hanno dato fondo al repertorio da loro definito “spaghetti indieâ€, modaiolo quanto basta, e con un bel finalino ska che ha mandato in visibilio le “spanish girls†in prima fila (“otra canciònâ€, volevano, ma non è arrivata)." - Extra Music Magazine
"Dalla Sicilia arriva il sound più fresco dell'indie italiano. Danilo "Dany", Francesco "Mr. Cicci" e Giuseppe "Don Peppe" sono stati la sorpresa di questo inizio 2007 della scena brit-rock romana.
Riff taglienti, cantato strascicato, piacciono alle ragazzine e fanno battere i piedi... e il loro primo concerto è stato solo lo scorso marzo.
In 4 mesi sono riusciti a salire su tutti i palchi più importanti della capitale: Zoobar, Circolo degli Artisti, Traffic, Sinister Noise e Radio Cafè e coronando il tutto con l'esibizione al fianco di Tre Allegri Ragazzi Morti e Black Circus Tarantula nell'ambito del Laghetto Festival.
I promoter se li contendono, le ragazze li seguono a tutti i concerti, le altre band dicono che non sanno suonare... sono belli, sono giovani, sono scatenati. La security dei concerti già li teme, sfrontati e sicuri di sè, pochi brani ma trascinanti, ma già hanno presentato una variabilità di sound e di strumenti (organetto e armonica, chitarra acustica ed elettrica, una cover dei Libertines meglio dei Libertines) e soprattutto dimostrando che anche in Sud Italia l'indie rock regna." - E.F. live
