About The Backwards
Obscure band, which at the time was praised by Italian music journos but largely ignored by buyers. Even in later years the Backwards were still highly regarded by Timothy Gassen's The Knights Of Fuzz, and yet unknown anywhere else. Born in 1988 as Chapter 24, and soon rechristened as The Backwards, their first demotape 'Real Life Permanent Dream' had excellent reviews ("The best neo-psych band in Italy nowadays" said C. Sorge), but for some reasons their leader P. Rizzo went solo under the same moniker, and in late 1989 proceeded to tape the Backwards' only LP. Rizzo played most instruments, but fellow musicians helped on various tracks (mostly mates fron The Pow and Peter Sellers & The Hollywood Party).
