QUATTRO GIORNI FUORI PORTA - EP - 2019
It’s an EP, and the First in Italian Language. They made this choice, because The Band need to thank their Country . It’s a Concept EP. It’s a brief outdoor excursions ( that’s the meaning of the title ) from their usually sound. It contains four tracks that describe hypothetical “four days” that are described in a very raw and direct way with Italian lyrics surrounded by fast and dancing rhythms, fiddle riffs and screaming chorus.
CREDITS OF THE ALBUM : Angelo Roccato ( Lyrics & Music, production, voice / guitars / mandolin / bass / drums), Francesco Ricci ( Fiddle )

HERE TO STAY - LP - 2018
Third album of the band, it decisively marks the band’s intention to break away from the labels and be able to describe their sound simply as “Folk – something” … 😉
In fact, in this album there are : Pop / rock songs, Hard Rock songs , Ska songs , Reggae inserts and much more. The absolute innovation of this album is the two italian songs: “Johnny non parla” (translation of the song, “Johnny” in which we talk about bullying and terrorism ) and “Rievoluzione” (Ska / Punk song feat. Punkreas). There is also a cover: “Wayfaring Stranger“, a piece of the American country / folk tradition already made by greats like Johnny Cash; The Clan make a very Punk version of it.

ALL IN THE NAME OF FOLK - LP - 2016
The second album which guarantees the band the official entry into the world of the Irish Punk ( of the Italian scene ). A lot of fanzines and punk & celtic radios was very interested about the band, because of this album.
From this record we start to understand that the band is already laying the groundwork to work in a wider music scene, but always in the folk field. Thanks to this record, the activity of the band becomes more and more intense, confirming the stage the natural habitat of The Clan.
