REAL DEAL

In the summer of 1988 different people from different countries (Italy, Switzerland, UK) joined their forces and founded a band who was to become a seminal name for hardcore music in Europe: REAL DEAL.
The band core was formed by Cesare and Giulio, both coming from one of the most famous and respected Italian HC band the 80’s, CRASH BOX.
After the release of a demo tape at the beginning of 1989 and a couple of songs included in AVALANCHE2, a compilation of emerging Swiss bands, they were offered by Far Out Records the chance to record their first CD in 1991
The record received raving reviews in the main fanzines of those times like Maximumrock&roll, Zap!, Blast, Rumore and many others and REAL DEAL played headlining shows all over continental Europe and supported other bands like Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Neurosis, Young Gods.
The band split up in 1993, but the members kept on playing in various projects such as ERODE (legendary left-winged Italian punk band) and MATAMACHETE (industrial electro-punk Swiss project), just to name a few.
Now REAL DEAL is back and we are busy with the recording of the new cd “BORN HOSTILE”. A modern mixing of true hardcore, punk and crusty rhythmic and a gloomy and angry vision of the world we’re living in.
A crossing between Cro-Mags and Black Flag that you can’t miss, if you still believe in hardcore music as an expression of DIY spirit and commitment.

REAL DEAL IS:
Che – Throat
Mao – Bass
Mattia – Drums
Ste – Guitar

Wir freuen uns ganz besonders ein kleines Schmankerl der beliebten ende-80er Hardcore Musik Bands präsentieren zu können. Gegründet wurde die Band 1988 mit unterschiedlichen Musikern aus der Schweiz, Deutschland & England. Zwei der Gründungsmitglieder spielten vorher in der berühmten Italienischen Band Crash Box. Nach einer 15 Jährigen Pause sind sie mit viel Power und Energie zurück. Real Deal spielen einen Mix aus eingefleischtem Punk und düsterem Hardcore mit schnellen und ebenso melodieösen Parts der für diese Zeitepoche prägend war. Der Sound lässt sich mit Bands wie Cro-Mags und Black Flag vergleichen.
