 The band was born in may, 1994; in october
of the same year they put out the Non
Duri Molto demotape. Stupid Man, one of its 11 track, gets included
in the Flower Punk Rock compilation,
a fundamental step for the italian punk rock scene of the 90's,
put together by Senzabenza with McGuffin records and which came
out in march, 95. On the following month 6 tracks are recorded on
the self produced 7" El Coche Loco.
In january 1996 the band contributes with a song in italian to the
No Time To Panic compilation (with
such bands as NoFx, Gigantor, etc) and in march of the same year,
following several gigs and excellent reviews, they put out their
first full lenght lp Punk's Not Sad,
this time as a coproduction with Fridge records. During 1996 many
dates take the band around Italy and also in Spain, where a first
Basques countries- only tour is followed by another tour that in
april 1997 touches Alicante, Madrid, Caceres, Bilbao and Bakio.
This experience also gives birth to a small book called Gira
Crummy Stuff. No Cocco Oil, a new track, appears on a CD Rom
called 'L'antologia illimitata',
a tribute to the great comics artist Andrea Pazienza. In october,
1997 the band films a video in which 101
punk rockers from all over Italy simultaneously play the title track
of the new album Never Trust a Punk
that comes out at the beginning of 98. Some appearances on TV shows
like Il muro and Com'č (on Odeon TV and Tele+) are the opportunity
to promote the video that gets showed on some private channels.
In the meantime C.S. take part to some other compilations like Extreme
Pulp, Casio Promo cd, the Rock
Sound magazine CD sampler, Rumore
di Fondo. On february, 99 they take part to a TV show about
