About Me

What you need to know about these songs:

These songs comes from my new five-tracks ep called "Eva Anger" and it features me on guitars and basses and Alessandro Palermo on drums from my power-rock band Sweepers ...Now, it happened some time ago that we recorded in our garage five songs that soon appeared in our live-show setlists. After a while I thought that the sound of drums was really good, so i decided to take all the drum parts and COMPLETELY REBUILD AROUND THEM FIVE BRAND NEW SONGS, with other lyrics and chords and instruments and vocals and passages...one of these songs, "Oliver Hutton", is actually a cover of Baba O'Riley... Then I thought "wouldn't it be nice to have different guest singers on every song?"...so I called Tiziano Tarli, singer-songwriter of Sweepers, The Modest Bsha, singer from my other band Jai Division , TheDrop , Nuisance and Sospesoa , three great singers and solo artists which I used to laugh, sing, play and eat pizza with...

Hope you enjoy it!

Sounds Like: "Quando ti trovi a ricostruire il tuo lavoro daccapo su cinque linee di batteria “riuscite bene”, è perché indicativamente sai quanta importanza abbia l'Antica Arte del Picchiare Duro, almeno di fronte ad un pubblico di spettatori più o meno occasionali. Di palchi il giovane titolare di questo progetto deve averne calcati tanti, prendendo parte a più gruppi dell'underground della capitale come bassista: e difatti malgrado la buona qualità di registrazione, ai brani di “Eva Anger” (un titolo che è pura punk-genialità) il supporto su disco sta assai stretto. Non è comunque musica di pura potenza: le canzoni ci sono tutte, e le influenze corrono così in libertà -come testimonia il suo My Space- che è difficile districarcisi. Personalmente credo di aver pescato certi Radiohead primi tempi, una linea vocale a cascata presa a prestito da Jeff Buckley, doppiette di chitarre da hard rock inglese, Who e Queens of the stone age ( questi ultimi citati letteralmente nella ghost track ). Ma al di là dei fieri meriti artistici, l'ep di Sterbus è un ottimo scorcio su una scena ancora inesplosa ma già molto attiva sui palchi di cui sopra: si incrociano le strade di formazioni come Sweepers (di cui Sterbus è bassista), Jai Division, The Drop, Nuisance, Sospesoa e dei rispettivi componenti, che rendono questo disco un po' meno “solista” e mostrano un sottoscala romano in autentica ebollizione."
