Claudio Sorge

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Claudio Sorge (born 1953) is an Italian journalist, music critic, record producer and radio presenter. He was one of the main people responsible for spreading musical genres such as punk rock, new wave and neo-Sixties rock in Italy. Claudio Sorge began his career as a music journalist in 1977 with the advent of punk rock and with the self-production spirit typical of this emerging musical movement, when he founded his first fanzine called "Teenage Lobotomy", named after a song by the Ramones. The new fanzine found, among its distribution points, also the record shop in Gallarate Carù Dischi, whose owner Paolo Carù had recently founded the magazine Il mucchio selvaggio.
