The Medullary Paralysis

About Me


People often ask about our perfect musicianship on stage: you know, the only way to play with an unfailing drummer is to be metronomes.
When we perform we just lapse into our uncompromising groove and we forget everything else. We love to balance eccentric rock performances with well-thought songwriting.
In Italy we have little chance to be heard by international and open-minded professionals. Our lyrics are in English and we don’t play Italian Pop: this is why we submit our songs all over the world, ready to pack up at any moment.
we don’t drink
we don’t take drugs
we don’t have sex
we feel compassion
