Delivering full on energy, aggressive Hardcore since 1981, their formula has become a real trademark: fast blistering drums, inhuman 6 string execution and rabid vocals combined with the screaming mad assault of songs such as “Fuck Authority”, “Raw Power” and “Don’t Let Me See It” that gave a vital input to tons of other like minded speed/HC maniacs to come in later years (in fact bands like KREATOR, NAPALM DEATH, HELLNATION, DECEASED, CRIPPLE BASTARDS and many more paid homage to them including RP covers on their records..).

They were the first Italian HC band touring the USA, and the one that brought Italian Hardcore on the international music map. Over their 40-year career RAW POWER have shared the stage with some of the most important bands of the punk scene, hardcore and metal world: Dead Kennedys, GBH, Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Motorhead, Cro Mags, Sick of it All, Agnostic Front, Circle Jerks, Scream, Adolescents, Rancid, Poison Idea, Slayer, Venom, DRI, to name but a few, and also in 1985 in a small club in Seattle, Guns N Roses a still unknown band open for one of their shows!!!
