wretched

(thing) by corey (3.3 y) Thu May 17 2001 at 7:28:59
An anarchist hardcore punk band from Milan, Italy. Formed in 1982, they took much of their influence from Disorder, Discharge, and Crass. The band's first 7", a split with Indigesti, is an infamous rarity among punk record collectors. Unfortunately, they adopted a more metal sound toward the end of the 1980s and went downhill.
