Feldspar - What Makes Us Stay?

Feldspar comes to us from Italy, where they were formed in late 2023. Situated just a literal stones throw from the Vatican, Feldspar have often referred to themselves as the "Godless folk two blocks from the Pope.” To complement their hard-core roots, they also incorporate a number of other genres, resulting in high energy music that is equally industrial, phantasmagoric, and oddly spiritual. You could say this kind of music packs of punch.
I find myself becoming increasingly open to hard-core submissions, I find the quality of lyrics can be quite refreshing in this edgy sub category of indie rock. Environmental concerns—felt to be an urgent civic duty by the band—find a prominent place in Feldspar's lyrical arsenal, and they regularly pay homage to the communities to which they belong.
This is the way. Non-conformity and community building can, and should, go hand in hand. I applaud this nascent band from Italy and hope that their model of artistic expression can be copied the world over.
