The Lies

About Me


These boys rock. Only coming as they do from the Italian boondocks, nobody beyond Rome has heard of them, but with the DIY release of their new CD, it’s time to roll. And be heard.
This band of five 18-20 year olds truly rocks with new and original songs in the Classic Rock/Hard Rock Tradition of the 70s & 80s: Queen, Led Zeppelin, Guns n' Roses, Ac/Dc.
Their aim is true, and clearly stated: “…getting our songs to the maximum number of people in the shortest amount of time. “
Why The Lies?
"Because we want to reveal the truths hidden behind the lies. We also like making up stories."
About the Band:
Right from the start, The Lies married the DIY/DIT principle of writing their own original songs which they featured at gigs, venues, clubs, festivals. A tight-knit band of brothers and close friends, they drew strength and talent from each other to forge a team spirit, and a common purpose.
They rehearsed often, performed hard, worked weekends and summers to save money so as to set up a studio that would help win total artistic freedom – the freedom to rock-hard.
Since then, The Lies have continued to play gigs in and around the region with much applause, from critics and concert-goers alike.
Throughout Winter 2005/Spring 2006, they worked on their first studio sessions, played over fifty gigs, and by Summer 2007, were ready to:
Burst Out Of There
The demo contains eight new and original songs, recorded and mixed entirely by Andrew Lord, with the songs going on-line on 23 November, 2007:

PRESS
"Vibrant rhythms, devilishly hot-tempered licks and lyrics, from which something unique and special emerges i.e. the fresh energy and sweetness of five young musicians who create and use music to narrate the emotions and feelings of their generation". (From Abruzzo Today, a daily state-wide newpaper, Daniela De Cecco, the reporter.)
“On the solid heavy rails laid down by the drummer, races the full power of the oncoming train that are the bass and guitars. This is true Rock n ' Roll.” (Jury of "Wast Daymone Rock Competition", including Octopus, a pop band from Milano, with Garrincha, bass player of Le Vibrazioni, a very popular Italian pop band, upon announcing The Lies as the winner, with special mention praising their music technique, stage abilities and public charisma. January 4, 2008.)

Band Members:

Rancy, age 20
Lead Singer/Songwriter

A classically-trained musician, Rancy studied violin and solfeggio at a classical music conservatory; writes lyrics, and has been singing since childhood: parish choirs, various bands. A founding member.

Maudit, age 20
Lead Guitar/ Vocals/Songwriter

Another founding member, he started playing guitar at nine, studied classical guitar, has a diploma for classical guitar studies. Thanks to Queen and Guns n’ Roses he discovered Rock & Roll. It also sparked a love affair with playing solo, and led up a new path: the blues, a genre that’s still heavily influencing many of today’s hard rock bands. His idols: Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, Brian May, Slash. Along with brother Andrew Lord, is the band’s musical minds, writing songs, weaving his solo guitar throughout each song. Also sings, and chorus.

Kell , age 19
Bass

Originally a guitarist, he was persuaded by Andrew to learn and play bass and join the band. That was four years ago; since, he’s displayed skill and a creative touch that hammers, light or strong, on each track. He also writes songs; on Burst Out Of There, he wrote “Is It Right”. Among previous projects, The Fire, a band with Sett and Andrew, and the Snare, wherein he played guitar.

Sett Sertao, age 19
Guitar/Vocals

Sett has been playing since forever – okay, he’s only 20. His innate rhythmic ability allows him to play any sort of accompaniment, with an enormous reserve for playing powerful solos; in Burst Out Of There, his overlap with Maudit’s. Between 6 and 8, he studied piano; also sings. Previously member of The Fire, with Andrew and Kell; played a duet with Maudit before The Lies was borne.

Andrew Lord, age 18
Drums/Vocals/Songwriter

Studied percussion at the age of 5, a natural born killer of a drummer? But he soon had to abandon it because “ill-advised” – too young; so, he studied piano for two years, and learned guitar from brother Maudit when nobody was looking. At the age of 12, he discovered Queen and it was love at first sound. He decided to start studying drums again; for six months he met with a jazz teacher for formal lessons, then continued on his own, firmly believing in his own natural powers of creativity and ingenuity – with a close ear to whatever his idols were doing, too, of course. Also sings and writes songs, alone, or with brother Maudit. Before The Lies, played keyboards and sang in The Fire, with Sett and Kell.
Influences: Queen, Guns ’N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Velvet Revolver, The Darkness, AC/DC, Slash’s Snakepit
