My morning album today was Dirty by Sonic Youth from which I saved all but a single track to my master playlist. It isn't quite as good as their first double album, Daydream Nation, and I prefer their early indie label stuff over the more polished major label stuff, but they were a band who consistently only released good-to-great records their whole career.

𝐔𝐙𝐄𝐃𝐀 is an Italian underground rock quartet formed in 1987 in Catania, Sicily, taking their name from Porta Uzeda, a Baroque city gate in their hometown. Known for their intense, angular sound, often likened to the explosive force of nearby Mount Etna, UZEDA emerged as one of Italy’s most original independent rock acts, navigating the spaces between alternative rock, noise rock, and math-influenced dynamics.

Originally a five-piece, the band’s early activity culminated in the 1991 release of their debut LP “Out of Colours” on A.V. Arts. A tireless touring schedule across Europe, including dates in Italy supporting Lush, helped build a wider underground audience and landed the video for “Hallucinated Games” on regular rotation on Italy’s VideoMusic Channel.

After sending a demo tape to legendary musician-engineer Steve Albini, he agreed to record their second album and traveled to Italy to work with the band. The resulting album, Waters (1993), marked a defining moment in UZEDA’s sound and was internationally championed by British radio legend John Peel, who invited the band to record a session at BBC Maida Vale, one of the few Italian acts ever to do so.

Following the release of “The Peel Sessions” (1994), UZEDA signed to the influential American indie Touch and Go Records, releasing “4” (1995) and “Different Section Wires” (1998). After a period of hiatus in the early 2000s, the band reunited to record “Stella” (2006), again with Albini, for Touch and Go.

In 2019, UZEDA returned with “Quocumque Jeceris Stabit”, released via Overdrive Records in Europe and Temporary Residence Ltd. worldwide, reaffirming their ability to balance visceral power with structural precision and emotional depth.

Over more than three decades, UZEDA have earned a dedicated global following for their uncompromising approach, influential collaborations, and steadfast commitment to artistic independence, traits that have made them a touchstone of the international underground rock scene.

Their decades-long journey and partnership with Steve Albini are documented in the feature film Uzeda – Do It Yourself (dir. Maria Arena, 2024), spotlighting their DIY ethos and impact on alternative music culture.

Sonic Mass Vol. 1 - A Ritual Of Amplified Sound

LARK, Thursday, April 9 at 07:00 PM GMT+2

SONIC MASS is a new Berlin concert series focused on doom and sludge in its heaviest form.
The idea is simple: proper backlines, carefully curated bands, and a sound that is meant to be physically felt — not just heard. Too many doom shows end up running through small backlines that flatten the impact this music should have.
For the first edition we’re bringing two of the loudest bands in Europe to Berlin:
CULT OF OCCULT(Lyon)
BBBW (Dortmund)
They will be joined by Berlin’s own PIECE, one of the city’s most established doom bands, and the younger generation represented by ARA.
Between the bands, MAD will create a dark ambient / noise atmosphere, and the night will close with a live synthesizer set by CHA0SY .
