Huw's DIY Label of the Week: Avant! Records
Post categories: Huw's Label of Love

This week's DIY Label is Avant! Records, a Bologna-based label which describes its genre as avanguardia punk, and with releases like Waiting for the Cheerleaders to Get Drunk, we can see where that exclamation mark comes from in their name!
With a rather high selection of band names that are overly difficult to pronounce (Cccandy, Nuit Noire, Krysmopompas , Los Llamarda), you get the feeling Avant! Records are always going to sound a bit different. You only have to listen to a track like Cccandy's Lonesome Berlin to appreciate the uniqueness of this label.
Have a listen to Huw's interview with the label owner Andrea, and hear his views on the underground scene in Bologna, as well as Italian office snacks!
