Pre-Cog in the Bunker With a name inspired by Philip K. Dick’s story “The Minority Report,” Pre-Cog in the Bunker is a rock duo from Teramo Italy consisting of couple Antonello Recanatini (guitar, synth, voice) and Miriam Di Sabatino (drums, voice). The band juxtaposes their interests in literary and cinematic science-fiction and cyberpunk with musical influences that include garage rock, punk, post-punk and traditional American blues. Sonically, the band mixes the proto and post-punk sounds of bands like the Velvet Underground, Sonic Youth and the Jesus and Mary Chain with the dirty garage blues of those other guitar-drum duos the Black Keys and White Stripes. After self-releasing an eponymous album in 2015, the band’s second full-length album Response to Reality received a limited release on cassette in 2016 on Italy’s Edwood Records. In 2019, the band teamed up with upstart USA independent label Sister Raygun Records to release a limited edition 7” vinyl EP Precog’s Dream (SRR 002) consisting of 3 songs from Response to Reality along with a digital re-release of the full album. Continuing their relationship with Sister Raygun Records, the band’s third full-length album What If? finds them building upon their sonic exploration of sci-fi themes and post-punk infused garage blues. However, the new album shows a honing of their sound (adding some keyboards and cello to the mix) and growing skills as songwriters. “LAT Lovers” and “Farout” blend loud guitars with catchy melodic hooks and a back and forth duet style reminiscent of a punk rock version of Lee Hazelwood and Nancy Sinatra. Songs “Explorer Drone,” “Desire” and “Wormhole” continue the high energy garage punk blues that is the core of the band’s sound. The 8-minute blended song “News / I Saw The Fear” combines aggressive punk blues with a sparse and haunting acoustic ballad to close out the album. What If? was recorded, mixed and mastered at Son House Studio by Manuele Marani and is currently available on CD and digital download from Sister Raygun Records(SRR 005).
