History[edit]

Raw Power was formed in 1981 in Poviglio (RE), Italy, by brothers Mauro (vocals) and Giuseppe Codeluppi (guitar). Through the years the band has lived through several line-up changes and the two brothers were the only stable members until Giuseppe's death in 2002. The band's name came from The Stooges’sthird album. Previously, the Codeluppi brothers had played in another band called Off Limits. Other members in Raw Power's first line-up were Silvio (guitar and vocals), bassist Maurizio Dodi (who came from punk band Chelsea Hotel) and teenager drummer Helder Stefanini.^[3]

Raw Power (Demo Self Rel. 1983) You Are The Victim (Meccano 1983) Screams From The Gutter (Toxic Shock 1985) Wop Hour EP (Toxic Shock 1985) After Your Brain (Toxic Shock 1986) Mine To Kill (Sonik Attack 1989) Too Tough To Burn (Contempo 1993) Fight (Godhead 1995) Reptile House (Mad Mob 1998) Raw Power / D.R.I. Split EP (Killer Release 2001).

In 1983 they recorded a 19-track demo (sometimes referred as Brown Studio Tape) and two songs appeared in the Italian punk compilation, Raptus. The tape also included the song «Fuck authority», which appeared in Maximumrocknroll's international punk and hardcore compilation, Welcome to 1984. Their debut album, You Are The Victim, was released in 1983 (or 1984, depending on sources) through the same small independent Italian label that released the Raptus compilation (Meccano Records). Raw Power had another two tracks in the second Raptus compilation, Raptus: Negazione e superamento (1984).

A small tape label from San Diego, USA, called BCT Tapes released in 1984 their demo (untitled, aka Brown Studio Tape) and some of their live stuff in the Last White Christmas compilations (recorded in December 1983).^[4] Through the BCT contact, in the same year the band flew over to the States for their first US tour, which happened in August–September 1984^[5] (the band have since then returned to tour the USA a total of six times). Second guitarist Silvio was replaced by Davide (ex Chelsea Hotel) before the tour.

While touring in the USA in 1984, the band played in Los Angeles with punk legends Dead Kennedys. It was at that show that they were spotted by Bill Sassenberger, owner of Toxic Shock Records. The band signed a record deal with Bill, which resulted in the album Screams From the Gutter, which sold more than 40,000 copies strictly through independent distribution and shops.^[6] Almost simultaneously, BCT released a Live in the USA tape (BCT 17, 3/85), compiling some of their best shows.

In 1986, Toxic Shock released the EP Wop Hour and the LP After Your Brain.

In 1987, Raw Power appeared on the compilation album 'Rat Music For Rat People', recorded in San Francisco by producer Sylvia Massy at CD Presents.

In the years to come, other records including Mine To Kill (Southern Records, 1989), Live Danger (TVOR Records, 1991) and Too Tough to Burn (Contempo Records, 1992) were released, but none of them sold as respectively as the first two recordings on Toxic Shock.

During their tours in the U.S.A. Raw Power have shared the stage with the Circle Jerks, Adolescents, D.O.A., Bad Brains, Agnostic Front, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, Suicidal Tendencies, among many others. In 1986 in a small club in Seattle, Guns N' Roses opened for Raw Power.^[6]

In 1995 they recorded the Fight album for Godhead Records, trying to achieve a sound more akin to their live shows. A video clip was made to promote the album, which was broadcast by MTV.^[6] Their next album for Godhead was Live from the gutter, recorded live on March 1, 1996 in the Maffia Club from Reggio Emilia (Italy). It contains twenty-seven songs with no overdubs.

In 1998 the band came back to Bill and Toxic Shock, who had changed its name to Toxic Ranch Records, releasing Reptile House. Reviews of the record were all incredible, calling it the best thing the band had done since their debut release. With that, the band decided to return to the U.S. for their first American tour in several years. It was at that time that they met a long time Raw Power fan named Tony Patino. A person that would be instrumental for the band in the next few years.

The 1998 tour, which was organized by Patino, started and ended in New York City, and covered most of the eastern states. It was on the first night of that tour that the band stored some of their gear in the support bands vehicle, only to find out the next day that some of their guitars were stolen. The support band, Infected, a then unknown band from Lexington, Kentucky, had mistakenly parked their van and left it unattended in New Jersey, and had to explain how they did not have Giuseppe's Gibson Les Paul that he had played for roughly twenty years.

In the late 1998, Marco Massarenti joined the band, replacing bassist Alessandro Paolucci.

Another tour of the states was underway the following year, but had to be scrapped midway through when Mauro was hospitalized in Indianapolis. He was suffering from kidney stones and had to have a stone surgically removed. Several dates on the tour had to be canceled due to the nature of his illness, which made it nearly impossible for him to sing.

In 2000 Alessandro Ronchini replaced Marco Massarenti and Raw Power released their next album 'Trust Me' on Hello Records, a label that Patino, their American booking agent had started. This was the first recording since 'Fight' that Silvio played guitar for the band. Just as the album was released, they hit American soil once again. This time, the tour support was a radical band from Los Angeles called Tongue, featuring a female vocalist/artist named Liz Mcgrath. The tour started in Los Angeles rather than New York, and the West coast welcomed the band with open arms. It was their most successful American tour since the first one in 1984.

The following year, in 2001, the band toured the states once again, supporting the 'Trust Me' release. This time with old 1985 tour mates, Decry supporting. The tour started in Atlanta and ended in Denver, and was the last time founding member Giuseppe would ever see the United States. Band members from that tour have said that it was the most redeeming tour of the states ever for him.

In 2002, Raw Power went back into the studio to record Still Screaming After 20 Years, a celebration of their two decades as a band. Shortly after finishing it, on October 6, guitarist and founding member Giuseppe Codeluppi suffered a heart attack while playing soccer, and died. The cover of the 'Still Screaming' album was the only record cover where the band used a photo, rather than artistic images. It's a photo taken by Patino at Meteor Crater, Arizona, where a meteor had allegedly hit the earth over 50,000 years prior. It was the last photo of Giuseppe with his band ever taken in America.

After his death, the remaining members debated on keeping on. In the end, it was decided that Giuseppe would have wanted the band to continue, with or without him.

European tours followed in 2004-2005. In 2005 Roberto the drummer was replaced by Fabio because of health reasons.

In 2007 Tommi Prodi was back in the band replacing guitarist Luca Carpi.

In 2008 Marco Massarenti was back in the band replacing bassist Alessandro Ronchini.

April 13, 2010 Beer City Records released the first 'Raw Power' box set entitled 'The Reagan Years'. This set contains1 DVD and 2 CD's. All the material featured in this set compiles most of the material recorded by the band during the 1980s. Henceforth the title ' The Reagan Years'.Also included is a full DVD sized lyric book with liner notes by Mauro 'singer' and co founder of 'Raw Power'.Beer City also brought back Vince 'Rancid' Packard to do the cover art. Packard had done both the covers for 'Screams From the Gutter' and 'After Your Brain'. The cover features the monster (being torn apart by Ronald Reagan complete with a monkey on his shoulder with Oliver North's face) seen on many 'Raw Power' covers along with the familiar sewer setting and rat. The CD's total 63 tracks and the DVD contains 2 live performances. One from 1986 and one from 1987. Both were filmed on US tours the band had done.

October 2010 P.I.G. records released the band's new album, Resuscitate, 8 years after Still Screaming... It's been recorded in Seattle's Studio Litho (owned by Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard) during the 2009 US tour. It features 24 new songs plus two stooges covers ('I wanna be your dog' and 'Raw power') and a remake of the band's 1988 classic 'mine to kill' as ghost track.

In 2012, the Italian F.O.A.D. Records starts reprinting all of the classic albums of Raw Power, starting with the first Demo Tape printed for the first time on vinyl, entitled Birth, passing through the first four records, and adding for the first time totally new audio material, including the discovery of a totally unknown Demo dating back to 1982. For the same label, the same year, the split 7 ” with DRI released in 2001 is reprinted , this time in double flexi 7″ colored, with a previously unreleased bonus track . The same year also sees the release of ”No More Borders”, a 4-way split 7 “together with MDC, Som-Hi Noise and Naked Aggression. The record is co-produced by different European and American labels and contains an unreleased track for each band.

On October 7, 2012 Luca Carpi died at 34 of pulmonary embolism.

Throughout 2013 the band plays continuously in their own country and across Europe, returned to the US in April and recorded a new album with Beer City records, 'Tired and Furious', released in mid- 2014 .

In 2013 Paolo di Bernardo on guitar Gianmarco Agosti on drums joined the band.

In 2014 and in 2015 Raw Power toured the United States.

In 2016 the band toured Europe, playing with Agnostic Front and H2O.

In 2017 Indiebox Records released the new album 'Inferno' and Raw Power played the biggest italian punk rock festivals. At the end of the year the band toured Australia for the first time.

Drops are items that appear when mobs and some other entities die or when most kinds of blocks are broken.

Types of drops[edit]

Common drops[edit]

Common drops may appear at the location of a mob at the moment it receives fatal damage. Most mobs have particular items that they may drop when killed. Some common drops, such as leather, don't always drop, but have a large chance (at least 50%, depending on the drop range) to do so. Some common drops, such as blaze rods, don't drop at all if the mob was not killed by the player.

Each of these items has a drop range, which is a random uniform distribution of numbers of items that drop. For example, a cow drops 0–2 leather items and 1–3 raw beef items. Because the range for leather includes 0, there is a ¹⁄₃ chance of no leather being dropped.

Mine To Kill

A baby animal does not drop any common drops upon death.

Raw Power Mine To Kill Rarity 2

Looting[edit]

Some common and uncommon drops are affected by the Looting enchantment. At most, a number of additional items equal to enchantment level are dropped.

More specifically, the game generates a fractional number ranging from 0 to the Looting level, which is then rounded to the nearest integer. This causes the numbers in the middle of drop range to occur twice as often. The probabilities are as follows:

Stray's tipped arrow is a special case: while Looting can attempt to increase arrow drop amount, the final number of dropped arrows is capped at 1. So, Looting effectively increases arrow dropping odds, up to ¹¹⁄₁₂ with Looting III.

Rare drops[edit]

Rare drops normally appear if the monster is killed by a player, although some rare drops can also be obtained by other means. Rare drops are always a single item, but may appear in conjunction with other common drops. A drop is considered rare if they are accompanied by the random_chance_with_looting condition in the mob's loot table.

Rare drops typically have a 2.5% chance of dropping, plus 1 percentage point per level of Looting on the weapon used (up to a maximum of 5.5% with Looting III). The exception to this is that a rabbit drops a rabbit's foot with a 10% chance, plus 3 percentage points per level of Looting (to a maximum of 19% with Looting III).

Note that in case of multiple rare drops (guardian and zombie types) the 2.5% chance is split between them, instead of being rolled for each item.

Shulker shell is technically also a rare drop, only ever dropping in singles from shulkers, although they don't require a player kill, have a 50% base chance, and increase by 6.25% per Looting level.

Equipped items[edit]

When killed by a player or a tamed wolf, a monster can drop equipment and armor that it spawned with. Each piece of equipment the monster was spawned with is dropped with an 8.5% chance, except pumpkins, jack o'lanterns, and vex's iron sword, which have a 0% chance. This value is determined by the mob's HandDropChances and ArmorDropChances tags. The Looting enchantment increases this chance by 1% per level (up to 11.5% with Looting III, and 3% for pumpkins, jack o'lanterns, and said sword). This means it is possible for a monster to drop more than one piece of equipment upon death.

There are also some equipped items that are guaranteed to drop:

• All items the mob picked up after spawning are always dropped, even when it isn't killed by a player and even if it is a baby zombie.
  • This is the case only for hostile mobs, not for villagers.
• Ominous banner always dropped by illagers wearing it.
• Horses, donkeys, mules, llamas and pigs drop any items equipped to them by players, like saddles, carpet or chests.

Experience orbs[edit]

Experience orbs drop only if a mob dies less than three seconds after being attacked (melee, bow, snowballs, eggs, and potions causing instant damage) by a player or by a player's pet wolf, though not by a player-activated dispenser. Their total value is the specific amount of experience granted by killing that mob. They are also dropped from a thrown bottle o' enchanting. Collected experience accumulates into levels, which can be used for enchanting or repairing.

Unlike other drops, such as items, experience orbs appear at the location of the mob's corpse at the moment it disappears in a puff of smoke. Experience orbs move toward any nearby players.

Block drops[edit]

Most blocks drop themselves when broken. All special drops from blocks are listed below. 'Obtainable with Silk Touch' column indicates if the block can be collected using the Silk Touch enchantment. See Silk Touch#List of blocks obtainable with Silk Touch for more information.

Raw Power Mine To Kill Rarity Lyrics

1. ↑Double wooden slabs drop 2 wooden slabs when mined by hand or other tools than a pickaxe

Notes:

• Blocks marked with 'T' need to be broken with a specific tool to drop anything (including experience). The Silk Touch enchantment doesn't remove this requirement.
• Where noted, Fortune can increase the number of dropped items or multiply it. Increase simply gives 0-lvl extra items. Multiplication happen with the following chances:
  • Fortune I: 33% * 2 (33% more on average)
  • Fortune II: 25% * 2, 25% * 3 (75% more on average)
  • Fortune III: 20% * 2, 20% * 3, 20% * 4 (120% more on average)
• Container blocks (brewing stands, chests, dispensers, droppers, flower pots, furnaces, hoppers, jukeboxes, trapped chests and beacons) drop themselves when broken along with their content.
• All blocks not listed in the table above drop themselves when broken. Fortune doesn't affect their drop.

Trivia[edit]

• Dropped weapons, tools, and armor from mobs have at least 25 durability remaining, which is also the most common. Less-damaged items are increasingly rare.
  • Except for gold swords and tools, items always have at least 26 points of damage taken.
