About Me


Biography:
SOME LIQUID AND ROUGH ROCK 'N ROLL FROM THE CONCRETE.
[September 2004] After having recorded many audio tapes with his guitar and voice, Jack decided to create an interesting project, an original rock band! He knew Paolo (a member of his crew), and asked to join the band Flavio and Giovanni, good musicians friends of the same crew.
The STRONGEST aspect of this band consists in the absence of a leader and in the freedom of each member to express himself.
In a few months SOTC did many live acts in the most important stages of Rome and not only...SOTC have in their minds (as a FUNDAMENTAL influence) the GREAT SOUND of the ‘70s and all that's post and exciting!!
A good RESULT of their hard WORK finally came: they signed a record agreement with the English label UKDIVISION Records at the beginning of 2007!! ALKEMIST FANATIX EUROPE promotion and management agency (property of Carlo Bellotti) decided to support them in contact with the label! Recording sessions and mixing were at Subsound Studio by Andrea Secchi and Victor Love (Dope Stars Inc.) in August 2007. Master by Paso at Studio73 (Ravenna). SOTC's first full lenght album, called “ASPHALT”, has been released in Italy by Andromeda and in UK by Code 7, Plastic Head manages the worldwide distribution in 26 countries; It is also available on web in the biggest digital stores like iTunes or Napster!

Reviews:
MESCALINA (Italy):
"Oculati nel rimettere insieme i tasselli sonori di quel puzzle che costituisce una certa parte della storia del rock, i romani Soul Of The Cave (SOTC) nel loro debutto discografico “Asphalt”, cliccano una folgorante istantanea crossover di psichedelia, progressive, epic-rock, trucioli metal, grunge e limature Zappiane; un’officina che assembla visioni e riff, e non fallisce nello slancio emotivo e nella verità filologica con cui rielabora le fonti. Sotto un asfalto a macadam vibra un nervo scoperto, affilato come un coltello, che divora il senso stesso della vita, e i SOTC non lo mandano a dire, lo scaraventano addosso a chi li ascolta; una sistematica ansia dura e morbida, focosa e sincopata che sfugge al controllo preciso della collocazione istantanea, ma che interiormente si classifica"

STALKER MEGAZINE (Germany):
"Musically the guys are top, and hardly ever a CD has fascinated me so much and made me focus on every single tone.
As if you don't want to miss the next surprise.
One of the best albums I've been listening to recently." 9/10

METAL WAVE (Italy):
"Dire di non aver ascoltato mai roba simile mi sembra anche poco, francamente, considerando anche e soprattutto che di band alternative rock ne è pieno il mondo ma poche di loro si cimentano con questo poliedrico genere attraverso la classe che posseggono i SOTC." 80/100

HARD SOUNDS (Italy):
"Davvero una sorpresa sentire una band italiana suonare quello che vuole con un piglio deciso come i SOTC: i ragazzi mi hanno sorpreso positivamente, confezionando una partenza positiva e carica di grinta come non ne sentivo da tempo." 74/100

LORDS OF METAL (Netherlands):
"Fortunately Italians can do more than cook amazing pastas.Take the four Roman guys from Soul Of The Cave for instance, who present you a fantastic fusion dish with ingredients from punk, metal, rock, indie and even some jazzfunk. Well somewhere you can taste the influence of The Mars Volta, but then without. And there is also a pinch of Jane's Addiction" 80/100

THE SHIP MAGAZINE (Italy):
".... Il disco si può definire un incrocio tra Punk/Rock alternative e devo dire che la loro miscela è davvero ben riuscita! La band ha saputo inoltre calibrare le tracce dell'album, che si apre con una esplosiva 'Toy' dove un riff di chitarra ben fatto spadroneggia per tutta la durata della canzone...." 7.5/10

LIVE 4 METAL (UK):
"They've a cool as hell groove as the foundation for their own brand of rock, and it's laced with a multitude of styles, including Stoner, Grunge, Punk, Psychedelia, funk and good old fashioned Rock N Roll. There's so much going on here, with countless different genres being represented, but it still comes across as cohesive, and more importantly, it rocks!!!"

DAGHEISHA (Italy):
"Ciò che comunque stupisce è la quantità di riff, cambi di tempo, sfuriate ossessive e momenti devianti con cui i nostri danno forma alle undici canzoni del disco". "Si denota la capacità di far concentrare l’ascoltatore per l’intera durata e non esclusivamente per due-tre pezzi". "Nasce quindi la curiosità di vederli on stage qui in Italia (ma starebbero bene in qualsiasi palco straniero)."

VAMPSTER (Germany):
"These four guys are very talented.".
"an unfathomable monster of music that is interesting, but on the other hand it's not easy listening nor well-defined.".
"In Asphalt there are riffs and arrangements which can be good for two albums."

METAL INSIDE (Italy):
"Potenti, aggressivi, a volte meditativi (sentite “Piove”, veramente bella), sperimentali, sempre emozionanti e trascinanti, questi sono i Soul Of The Cave, che con questo loro primo album stanno facendo parlare molto di sé, grazie ad una proposta veramente personale e abbastanza innovativa per poter guardare al futuro con convinzione ed entusiasmo." 7.5/10
