The Bitter End

This is Metal Punk!!

About Me


www.myspaceeditor.it
ENGLISH: Donato Silvestri (guitars), Livio Ghilardi (bass) and Ambrogio Locardo (drums)
founded THE BITTER END in the beginning of september 2005.
Donato and Ambrogio previously played in a punk/grunge cover band called
Forbidden Date (which still exists). For Livio it was his first group.
After two weeks of rehearsals, Giuseppe Liuzzi (vocals) joined the band.
The purpose of the band was and still is to play a mix of metal and punk
(the genres they love) being original (very difficult thing today).
THE BITTER END played live for the first time on the 23rd of December,
at Classic High School "Laterza", in Putignano (BA).
In the setlist there were songs by Offspring, Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41
and a special punk version of "Jingle Bells".
In the beginning of 2006 the band composed its first song, called "Metal Punk".
With their song, the band got the 14th place in a musical contest named "Giovani Note"
(for infos: GiovaniNote )
and "Metal Punk" was released on a compilation sold all over Italy.
After other shows, Giuseppe started playing rhythm-guitars in the band.
After their latest show at AlbaLumen in Noci, the band stopped playing for a while.
This break lasted 5 months: Giuseppe and Livio played acoustic sets for parties,
Ambrogio played with other bands, Donato reunited with his old band,
Forbidden Date (Ambrogio plays drums in it too).
Due to musical and personal differences, Donato left the band in early 2007.
The band searched for a new guitarist, but probably they will continue
as a trio for a while without a second guitar.
At the moment the band is jamming a lot in order to compose new songs and then play live.
ITALIANO: Donato Silvestri (chitarra), Livio Ghilardi (basso) e Ambrogio Locardo (batteria)
fondarono i THE BITTER END all'inizio di settembre del 2005.
Donato e Ambrogio suonavano prima in una cover band punk/grunge chiamata
Forbidden Date (che esiste tuttora). Per Livio era la sua prima esperienza.
Dopo due settimane di prove Giuseppe Liuzzi (voce) entrò nella band.
L'obiettivo della band era ed è suonare un mix di metal e punk
(i generi musicali che più amano) cercando di essere originale
(una cosa molto difficile nell'attuale mercato discografico).
I THE BITTER END suonarono dal vivo per la prima volta il 23 dicembre 2005
al Liceo Classico-Linguistico "Laterza" di Putignano (BA).
Nella setlist c'erano canzoni di Offspring, Blink-182, Green Day, Sum 41
e una speciale versione punk di "Jingle Bells".
All'inizio del 2006 la band compose il suo primo brano, "Metal Punk".
Con questa canzone i THE BITTER END arrivarono quattordicesimi al concorso musicale "Giovani Note"
(per info: GiovaniNote ) e "Metal Punk" fu pubblicata
in una compilation distribuita in tutta Italia.
Dopo altri concerti, Giuseppe cominciò a suonare la chitarra.
Dopo l'ultimo show all'AlbaLumen di Noci (BA), il gruppo smise di suonare per un po'.
Questa pausa durò 5 mesi durante i quali Giuseppe e Livio fecero set acustici per delle feste,
Ambrogio suonò con altre band e Donato si riunì con la sua vecchia band,
i Forbidden Date (in cui suona anche Ambrogio).
A causa di divergenze personali e musicali, Donato ha lasciato il gruppo all'inizio di quest'anno.
La band ha cercato un nuovo chitarrista, ma probabilmente continuerà come trio senza
l'ausilio di una seconda chitarra. Al momento il gruppo sta provando molto al fine di comporre nuove canzoni
e quindi suonare live.
