Lookout Records veterans Squirtgun have released their first new song in over two decades. “Sunflowers,” tells the true story of Mario Calvi, an anti-fascist Resistance fighter who was killed by Nazi soldiers the day after WWII ended—mere steps from his mother’s arms. In a press release, bassist and producer Mass Giorgini explains, “Mario wasn’t just a historical figure—he was family. My mother called him ‘uncle,’ and I grew up hearing his story in the same farmhouse where he lived, passed down by his mother and my great-aunt.”
“Sunflowers” also marks the recording debut of Squirtgun’s new “Supersoaker” lineup, which will perform at Punk Rock Raduno in Bergamo, Italy this July. The lineup includes: Kevin Sierzega (Teen Idols, Bullets to Broadway) - lead vocals Dan Panic (Screeching Weasel, Riverdales, Queers, Groovie Ghoulies) - drums, backing vocals Zac Damon (Screeching Weasel, Big in Japan, Zoinks!) - guitar, vocals Flav Giorgini - (a founding member) guitar Mass Giorgini (Common Rider, Screeching Weasel) - bass.
