In a historical period where individual freedoms are easily denied, OVERCHARGE’s irreverent music becomes a hymn to uncompromising resistance. The band stated:
“Our intent is a call to gather of all those freaks who refuse labels or genres and deal with forthright messages of unity, irreverence, freedom, self-confidence against all forms of intolerance.
Louder than words – speed is the law!

We’re brothers or nothing – wash down some more!”

OVERCHARGE was formed in 2012 in Varese Italy with its unnecessary coating of asphalt and concrete. Since the early days, its intent was clear: playing fast and loud rock’n’roll music as a trio powered by beer and Antifa principles.

Metalpunx has been recorded by Matteo Tabacco at Raptor Studio (Slander, Destrage), mixed and mastered by Eleven Mastering. The artwork is by Devil’s Reject Art.
