About Me
The Frontline were born on summer of 2003, in Crema (Italy), when Reste (as bassguitar player) and Coach met Nico, that became the voice of the trio; after few time Paul the Batterist became the drummer. When they started they played hardcore/punk, influenced by 80s HC and 77 punk rock.After one year the Rockabilly and Psychobilly sounds was heavier into the band, so they decided to use double bass and play this genre; the Frontline's sound is influenced by bands and artists like Meteors, Batmobile, Guana Batz, Frantic Flintstones, Krewmen, Cramps, Stray Cats, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Gene Vincent, Monsters, Reverend Beat-Man, Spamabilly Borghetti, Kim's Teddy Bears and Ennio Morricone; on stage the band often play old songs: "Surfin' Bird" by Trashmen, "She Said" by Hasil Adkins and "Rockabilly Rebel" by Matchbox. The songs talk about the Hell, demons, graveyards, necrophilia, maniacs, killers, Holy porks and nuns whiping, inspired by old horror movies, pulp and western Sergio Leone's films. Since the beginnning the band was supported by the Frontline Crew, a bunch of bastards who always followed our shows, making lots of noise, stopping everyone who tried to fuck with the band and helping us to let people knows, expecially in this place, forgotten kinds of music such as Rockabilly, Psychobilly and the old R'n'R.
The Frontline played with important italian bands like the Legendary Kid Combo and the Karogn'a'billy. On 18th november 2006 the band opened the Bloody Moonlight 7, the last italian show for the legendary rockabilly trio, the Restless, and on 24th february 2007 they played as support band for the first Demented Are Go's gig in Milan.
The Frontline split up in may 2007. After an atomic bomb explosion they became THE NUCLEARS. The terror never stop...I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.1
