In anticipation of their soon-to-be-announced new album, Italian psych-garage band Bee Bee Sea returns with a 3-track concept EP titled ‘It’s All About the Music‘ and a limited 7″ edition presented at Bergamo’s Punk Rock Raduno #8.
The limited 7-inch vinyl was released at Punk Rock Raduno #8, and was screen-printed live during Bee Bee Sea’s show in Bergamo by Saldacani and Baby Lemonade. A physical artefact. A visual riot. A mini garage-rock opera.
“Music! Music! Music! Music!” Noel Gallagher yelled it in that infamous interview, the one where he explains, between curses and brotherly jabs, that rock’n’roll isn’t about getting kicked off a ferry. It’s about playing your gig, blowing the crowd away, and going home with your head held high.
Bee Bee Sea took that to heart. They chopped it up, slowed it down, sped it up, and turned it into a three-part concept EP that’s garage fury with self-awareness baked in. Because when the poses fade, the riffs remain.
The main track is a loud and clear mission statement inspired by that chaotic Gallagher interview. It’s about feeling out of place in the music scene, surrounded by posers more into style than substance. “I’m just a boy with a mustard face,” the lyrics say — someone who was made to feel like a clown, until he realised only the music matters.
The song’s riff had a strangely medieval flavour from the very beginning — and that’s exactly what sparked the idea for the video, which features the band as armour-clad knights defending their hometown red castle (an echo of Castel Goffredo). Visual direction and costume design were created by tattoo artist Yuri “Brodo”, with artwork by Saldacani.
