Straight Opposition : “Burning the Green Jacket”, from the album “Fury Stands Unbeaten”, available on Indelirium Records.

Straight Opposition, born in Pescara near the end of 2003 by Ivan Parbone (drums), Luca Di Simone (guitar), Alex Stinziani (bass) and Ivan Di Marco (vocals). In October 2004, the band comes up with the first promo (temple of noise studios – Roma) following the ideas of bands like Biohazard, Turmoil and Downset. After this promo, the band start with a lot of live shows and with the creation of new songs. These songs are fast and violent, similar to bands like Terror, Turmoil and Hatebreed . In March 2005, they recorded a song for the compilation “Acme React” , also in October 2005, they recorded at Kutso noise home (Roma) a song for the Punkster’s compilation , “Map of the Etnies”. In December, the band stopped with live shows (which were at least 35 in a year) and started the recording (at Kutso Noise Home) of the first full length album called “Step by Step” ( IDR013) . Straight Opposition calls itself “positive hardcore” because their lyrics incite to refuse every sort of passive attitude in front of the degrading and enslaving sides of mass society . The word “positive” is referred to the positive attitude applied to the concepts of “struggle”, “unity” and “critical reason”.
