Vicenza, Italy’s ARGETTI began 4 years ago when 3 of the 4 bandmembers mixed their musical backgrounds to create
a dynamic “punk-rock band.” Punk rock in spirit versus sound—as convention was not in their plans, as you’ll hear on their Engineer Records/NoReason Records release “Flags of Karma,” a full-length album of many faces. In January of 2004, the current line-up was officially completed and they began working hard on their debut, “In My Shoes” issued on Goodwill Records in 2005. This debut, along with their current “Flags of Karma,” brings a biting musical approach to the vast indie-punk landscape as we know it. Argetti’s sound and attitude beckon the classic chords of the Ramones and The Clash held up alongside 90’s emo/hardcore.
For fans of The Clash, Ramones, Jawbreaker, AndTheWinnerIs, Rydell, Crimpshrine, Dag Nasty, Settlefish, Latterman and Pop Unknown.

"Flags of Karma" co-released on NoReason Records (Italy). Past notable release on Goodfellow Records.
During the years of building the band to where they are today, Argetti toured several times through Italy and Europe
(Slovenia, Czech Republic, Austria, Greece, Germany) selling out the first 1000 copies of “In My Shoes” and supporting some of the best Italian punk-rock bands, like THE RITUALS (Wynona Records), SETTLEFISH (Deep Elm Records), DUFRESNE (V2 Records) and FORTY WINKS (Wynona Records). With the experience these shows offered in strengthening the band’s professionalism, alongside the fragments of life they’d inject while songwriting along the way, Argetti captured the essence of being a band through and through. These ideas filled their new album “Flags of Karma” with a sense of realism and urgency just shouting for new listeners abroad. With “Flags of Karma,” Argetti are ready to break out.
