Rock on forever...

About Me


Everyone who loves rock music, in its many expressions, can easily see that, nowadays, many people of different age, different culture, different ideas are sharing the same stages, both in small clubs and in big events. Even if rock music is far from being 'mainstream', nowadays, many people from all over the world feel it part of their life, of their experience, of their culture, and that makes rock music capable of uniting and keeping together different people like nothing before. Rock is no more 'young people's music' like it used to be until the '80, rock has grown and changed to become a 'classic' that feels at home in clubs, in theaters, in stadiums, in big events.


Technology and western lifestyle give us many means to communicate virtually to anybody all over the world, in any moment, in any way. What we are lacking, sometimes, is a vocabulary, a shared language to share our thoughts in a new, interesting, unspoiled way. Succeeding in this, reaching a friend or a stranger with our inmost thoughts is a real HOMERUN, a real perfect strike that doesn't care about cultures, tongues, distances, jumps over them like a baseball player speeding over bases during a game. Rock music is the perfect mean to achieve that: it's direct, straightforward, people from all over the world know it and love it. We think rock music is the home run of 21st century's communication.
This is why we choose to play rock, and precisely hard rock music today, together with our personal musical tastes and preferences: it's what we like, it's what we do, and we feel it's the perfect mean to carry out our message to new and old friends all over the world. Our songs' lyrics are written in english, because we want to reach over the borders our country to a wider group of listeners, who can recognize themselves in the life, the emotions, the pain and the joy of the never-aging rock generation.

Recording session with Stefano 'Sebo' Xotta, June 2007

Paraphrasing a "The The" song, we know we'll never find peace and our purpose at the bottom of a glass, or on the breast of a girl, or in the roar of an engine, but that doesn't mean that we choose to avoid and not to enjoy all these things... Our musical influences surely include the Swiss hard rock band Gotthard (we chose our band name tributing an album of theirs), but also Firehouse, Steelheart, the first Bon Jovi, Europe, Motley Crue, Mr. Big, and, generally, the best european and american Hard Rock from the '80 and the '90.
