Annotation
Hardcore Punk group from Firenze, Toscana, Italy, featuring the members: Andrea Salani, Daniela Petrova, Federico Forconi, and Marco Cellini. They released the song "Vietnam '83", which was largely an instrumental, apart from shouting "Saigon" in the intro. The song was re-issued on the 1994 compilation Do You Remember? (Flowers of Grain # F.O.G. 004). The back of that LP said:In the early eighties, when tattoos were still considered to be permanent disfigurements, and the only social centres in Italy were the 'Virus' in Milan and the 'Victor Charlie' in Pisa, four sinister individuals got together to form a group... this group was to be a milestone in GDHC (Granducato Hardcore scene, in Florence)
