4 Dummies by The Superslots Terrible Smashers
The Superslots Terrible Smashers are a psych garage punk combo from Salerno, that formed in July 2015 and stepped immediately into an intense number of support acts for the likes of Jello Biafra (Dead Kennedys), Cut and The Youth along with many features in garage events such as the PROVOKATE Punkrock Festival (Idol Lips, The Raunchies) e RnR Stampede (The Meteors, The Devils).
The month of November saw the entrance of the band in the great family of Area Pirata Records which allowed the band's first digital release titled "Lickin' Ears", letting it be noticed by insiders through national and international radio broadcasting. Strangely enough and as a result of an alien abduction, the band decided to lock up at Bunker Studios and write 11 tracks smelling of Australian punkrock and psychedelia, which were eventually recorded and mixed at Kaspar House by Ferdinando Farro.
The album, titled "Kidnappings" was released on Area Pirata Records on July 4 2016, as just expected from a well known movie and includes an artwork by comic artist Luca Maresca ( Sergio Bonelli Editore), and the graphic layout, pictures and additional support to the lyrics by Girolamo Viola.
As just writingly unstoppable the band returned to the Bunker studio in 2017 recording a number of songs and choosing 4 of them for the following 7" vinyl ep, released on June 9 2018 and titled "4 Dummies".
The EP has been mixed and mastered by Enzo Siani at Play Music Studio, Cava De' Tirreni, Salerno, Italy, and released on Area Pirata Records with the additional partnership of Tongue Records. The record released was anticipated by a videoclip, "Soap on Toes", directed by Girolamo Viola (already credited in the artwork) and featuring the international guest star Nataliya Backanchuk.
