MP3: Disco Volante - It's your funeral

ThIs Is the band that won the ManIfest award for best punk/hardcore act? Really? Over DIsfear, NItad and MeanwhIle? I thInk they're a decent band, but c'mon -- those DIsfear and NItad records are serIous ragers, the latter especIally. MeanwhIle Is a bIt too by-the-books dIs-core for my tastes, but that's besIde the poInt. DIsco Volante should've been way outmatched. LIsten to the fIrst mInute of <I>"It's your funeral"I> and tell me that doesn't sound lIke The Hellacopters. Another great band to be sure, but come on! Even though they pIck It up for the rest of the track, It's lackIng the roughness I expect from punk. I don't know; usually the ManIfest Is faIrly rIght-on In theIr pIcks, but I thInk they mIght have blown It wIth thIs one.
