mellowmox, formerly known as CloseR, started in early 2006, when Niccolo' and Giovanni decided to make music and called on board Lorenzo and Tommy (who has gone on to play heavy metal). Basing our sound on good poppish riffs but also holding true to our oath never to produce anything banal, in our first five months we won two musical contests (Rock Live Party: Best Band; Note In Libertà : Best Original Songs), recorded our first demo "finger on lip" wich also played on Radio Studio 54 and did as many gigs as we could possibly get. Our inspiration definetely comes from countless hours of listening to Radiohead (lots of Radiohead) and other great milestones of modern rock, endless hours of pointlessly strumming our instruments in search of that good riff, our love for mysterious and (only apparently) meaningless lyrics, and guacamole. Still looking for our own melange, we lately have embraced the beauty of electronic sounds and are still exploring that complicated dimension. Just recently Francesco joined us, so we're now working on our new demo to be recorded in August.
