It is since they came second in X Factor four years ago the Måneskin was asked if they would ever go to Sanremo. After years of stretched smiles and increasingly daring experiments that led the group composed of Damiano, Victoria (bassist), Thomas (guitarist) and Ethan (drummer) to reinvent themselves without fear of losing their rock essence, in the end yes is arrived: the Måneskin will participate in the Sanremo Festival and will do it in their own way, bringing his own world to the stage and a sometimes incendiary message.
Shut up and good is, in fact, a song that expresses, through guitar riffs and out-of-control bass turns, the anger of a generation (theirs, ours) forced into silence by their fathers, an autocracy that tries to silence the uncomfortable voices and to crouch in the certainties dragged by the current of the old: something that the Måneskin, since they started their career, have not never done.
They are named after a Danish word, Victoria’s native language, which means “Moonlight”, the same glow that brought them together when they were in middle school until they decided to pursue a musical career several years later. From then on, everything seems to be downhill: the slightly vintage passion for guitars and the Seventies looks together with Damiano’s sexy and biting charge immediately make their way into the jury of thethe eleventh edition of X Factor, where they give life to a carousel of performances that bewitch the audience calling them to a not indifferent act of faith: to rely on the fervid and uncontrolled flow of the band to be projected into a new world, where screams, high heels and chenille dusters reign sovereigns allowing us to dream their own dreams. Sky’s talent comes second (as if the ranking counts for something), but the popularity bath that accompanies them is so great that The dance of life, their first record driven by singles I will die like a king e Back home, immediately climb the rankings making everyone understand that Måneskin are serious. Along with rock and provocation, fundamental themes such as bullying, body shaming and sexual freedom they become the symbol of a deeper battle against the gender struggle and the need to break free from labels to savor a bit of freedom which, in the case of the Måneskin, corresponds to a very specific name: Marlena, purest personification of freedom, life and creativity, an intangible conceptual muse and, therefore, present everywhere.
After the Covid tsunami, the band returns with a new single, Twenty years, a song also dedicated to his generation, a campaign signed by Oliviero Toscani that portrays them without filters and without superstructures and, of course, the announcement of being among the Big Sanremo 2021. “Ours is not an anger towards someone, but an anger that moves, that creates revolutions“They wrote in the press release of the launch, speaking specifically of” a cathartic anger directed at oppressions and oppressors, which leads to venting and rebelling against everything that makes you feel wrong and which, as a result, leads to a rebirth and a change “. In Shut up and good, framatti, in Måneskin cantano: “And good evening ladies and gentlemen, out the actors. You better touch your balls, you better be quiet and good. Here people are strange like drug dealers, too many nights I was locked out, now I kick them ‘sti doors. Look up like climbers ». A strong, biting text that asks us to take us where we can “float”, where the Måneskin, with their embryonic and antithetical energy, play and wait for us with electric guitars explained.
