This is a testimony to of Maneskin persistence that their Eurovision win in 2021 defines their story less and less. The group’s scandalous victory in Rotterdam two years ago was somewhat overshadowed by a drug scandal (which the group’s vocalist Damiano David denied), but now that episode seems firmly in the past. After their victory on the continent, they took steps to break America, established themselves as a live force and even supported The Rolling Stones. Since then, the magnificent OTT rock and roll circus, filled with both adoration from fans and backlash from naysayers, has followed Maneskin wherever they go.
Their message is harsh enough, because David exclaimed in his 2021 winner’s speech: “Rock and roll never dies!” Alex Turner, eat your heart out. However, they had conflicting views: the Italian group likes leather boys more than pretending to be rebels without a cause, while their influence is actually down to every stadium rock band of the last 40 years. Even the godfather of punk Iggy Pop saw something in them, joining the band for a version of “I Wanna Be Your Slave” in 2021. He later told NME that Måneskin were “a really strong band” and that their obvious a desire to win any platform that comes their way – be it Eurovision or Italy’s X Factor in 2017 – gives them a “really good edge”. Several provocative live performances and performances also helped the band survive and eclipse their 15 minutes of fame.
“RUSH!,” the band’s third album is a snapshot of how they overcame snobbery and became the journey that everyone from do-gooders to more sinister personalities wanted to embark on over the past 18 months. No wonder it’s overcooked in places. In addition to super producer Max Martin (Taylor Swift, Katy Perry), many producers come and go with a 17-track record that lasts almost an hour. The album’s three lead singles—”MAMMAMIA,” “Supermodel” and “The Loneliest”—seem to have been added at the end rather than woven into the fabric of the record, following a series of songs in their native tongue. The latter includes “Mark Chapman,” a claustrophobic account of a obsessive, ruthless force named after the fame-hungry killer John Lennon.
But little can spoil the spirit and audacity of the record. “Gossip”, co-created with Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, hits back at the show business leeches and gossipers who, as they snarl, make up the ‘American Dream’. On “Feel” Moneskin jokes about the “cocaine on the table” that got them into trouble, and on “Kool Kids” they indulge in “modern” post-punk and bark in a parody British accent. “we’re not punk, we’re not pop, we’re just music fans!” via a minimalistic groove. Glam rock topper “Read Your Diary” is also hard to resist.
To overcome such a tumultuous period and arrive here not just whole but thriving is an incredible achievement. A world tour will soon begin, including arena concerts across Europe, where these songs will compete for a place alongside the usual Måneskin cover versions – there’s a good chance some of them will win.
