http://www.thenewnoise.it/the-thirteen-lift-off/
and a fast, raw and terrible english translation, I hope at least will give you the general sense of my words:
Once revealed to the world its secret history (The Secret History Of The Thirteen, 2008), the band led by Sal Cannestra and today completed by Jack Santa Maria and Peter Kontes, offers a second taste of its power-pop-tinged rock ' n'roll, with more than a nod to the real garage and to the London beat. With Steve Egerton (Descendents, ALL, Flag) in the control room, the Thirteen keep alive their tradition made of anthems that stick to you since the first listening, often tinged with a clear love for the Residents and more weirdest rock'n'roll tradition, all in purpose of a songwriting always hovering between listener-friendly attitude and will to make feet stomp, energetic riffing and - why not? - also a subtle hint of Weezer flowing under the skin. We could also say that we are talking about the "right way" to lighten the mood and to face the summer, out of any carelessness and circus tricks, replaced by the solid experience of musicians who are around since a long time, from the hardcore scene (Cannestra in the early nineties militated in Sleeper, pre-Serpico band, just to give some coordinates). In short, we are talking about people who are serious even when having fun, because accustomed to consider the music first and foremost a matter of friendship and passion, something to share with others and able to change your life, more on a human level than economic to be honest. For this reason, Lift-Off! appears first of all as a genuine and cool album, flowing smoothly and never giving the annoying idea to be built at a table, it is moreover a solid treatise on the concept of power-pop and its junction with the life of the various rebels without a cause , easy as it is in its being net of preservatives and dyes.

Michele wrote:that's right man, lucky the mistake in names is just on the translation and not on the review online (btw fixed also the translation), but thanks a million to point it out
but right by now I discovered I completely mistake the name in the comparison, I was thinking to The Replacements and wrote down The Residents dumb me
so an error was made but it was about the bands not the musicians names....

This is in fact our plan for this show with the Dickies on 11/2:
