CCCP Fedeli Alla Linea
CCCP - Fedeli alla linea (; also spelled without the hyphen) is an Italian punk band formed in 1982 in Berlin by vocalist Giovanni Lindo Ferretti and guitarist . The band's style is self-defined by the members themselves as "Musica Melodica Emiliana—Punk Filosovietico" (" Emilian Melodic Music—Philo-soviet punk"). CCCP's works influenced dozen of artists such as Marlene Kuntz, Massimo Volume, and Offlaga Disco Pax. Their name, CCCP, stems from the Cyrillic script for ''SSSR'', Russian acronym for the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, although pronounced following the Italian phonetics. CCCP left behind the stereotypes of punk rock, and reached for a genre-defying convergence of militant rock, industrial music, folk, electropop, Middle Eastern music, and even chamber music while delivering through their lyrics a bleak vision of humankind, also introducing elements of expressionist theatre and existentialist philosophy in their live shows.
