Bar Italia are tired of being a mystery. The trio – who have spent their brief existence breathlessly feted as London’s most exciting new band, as well as its most enigmatic – are very much over their early inscrutability. “I’d rather be known as boring than mysterious right now,” says Jezmi Tarik Fehmi, who founded the outfit alongside Sam Fenton and Nina Cristante in 2020. “It was fine for a while but it’s got to the point where everything that’s written about us is caveated with the word ‘mysterious’.” The trio casually joined forces in late 2019, and when holed up together during the pandemic, threw themselves into making “catchy, good songs”, says Cristante (“we were not interested in making experimental, challenging music”), rendered via the medium of sleety, crepuscular guitar music. Although: “We don’t use the term guitar music,” says Fenton. “But we did want to use guitars,” counters Cristante. Fenton clarifies his position: “We wanted to use guitars but we wouldn’t call it guitar music.” We are very sorry to disappoint fans of Caramac. There has been a steady decline in its sales over the past few years and we had to make the difficult decision to discontinue it.Sommelier and owner Christian Aarø is responsible daily for the wine list to reflect our focus on finding wines and drinks that match the menu, while at the same time arousing interest with innovative ideas and exciting tasteful wines that are also offered by a wide selection of wines on glass. In the first verse, the anxious theme is conceived by a study of fear and darkness. This is followed in the second with introversion and jealousy, before Cristante’s closing refrain: And I don’t owe you an explanation/ I just wanna lose control/ And I don’t have a real solution/ Wanna say just leave me alone” Sad news for chocolate lovers as 2 fan-favourite bars are to be discontinued – after more than 60 years. That endorsement is slightly less surprising once you understand Bar Italia’s success across the pond, where they routinely sell out venues. “We got hold of our Spotify details a year or so ago, and that’s when we were like: ‘Oh shit, it’s like double in America what it is anywhere else,’” says Fenton. Why do they think that is? “They always like British bands,” says Fenton. Fehmi looks at him askance. “It’s famously hard for a British band to break America. I’ve just finished watching the Busted documentary about them trying to break America – they’d had three No 1s and they couldn’t get a gig!”

We know fans will be disappointed to see it go, but this change will enable us to focus on our best-performing brands, as well as develop exciting new innovations to delight our consumers’ tastebuds.' Whether you care about this post-postmodern approach or not, Bar Italia clearly don’t require any extra intellectual context to win listeners over – or, for that matter, any mystique. Even so, they can’t help but keep some things under wraps. That becomes apparent when I ask them how old they are. “I’m 45,” says Fehmi (he’s clearly not). “I’m going to be 50 in August,” says Fenton (he won’t be). “Can we not put our ages?” Fehmi pleads. I get the same avoidant circling when I ask about their influences. “You name it, probably that,” shrugs Fenton. “Even Pulp.”

The, quite frankly, heartbreaking news comes as the manufacturers announced that sales of both have 'steadily declined' over the past few years, with Nestlé making the decision to pull the products altogether. På Trio finder du den samme kompromisløse tilgang til råvarerne, og en sammensætning af smagskombinationer på højt niveau samt et vinkort udvalgt med samme grundighed som anmelderroste AOC har høstet priser for, heriblandt 2 stjerner i Guide Michelin. I wonder if there’s any self-conscious irony involved in making music that is so aware of its own relationship with the past. Fenton and Fehmi don’t seem to think so, but Cristante believes the past “can be approached with irony. Not irony that’s funny – or sardonic or cynical – but it can become playful material. There has to be a level of intuition and subconscious understanding of that.” That said, Bar Italia is “not overly conceptual, we’re not overthinking”. Hippy one (voiced by the smooth tones of Derek Griffiths) talks to the camera ‘Hey, Susie thinks everything should be covered in real milk chocolate, just like a Trio. Personally I think….(Susie then uses an enormous hose to cover the pair of them in chocolate and he tastes it)….she’s got a point, man, I mean, it’s not a bad idea…’ There was also a triple chocolate version which was tasty - albeit with a less distinct taste than the toffee one – chocolate biscuit, topped with chocolate, covered in chocolate. (What’s not to like there then?) This one came enveloped in silver foil, with a blue wrapper.

Never really liked white chocolate, still don't but had animal bars all the time as a kid,' said a second.
