We have a new acoustic set.

We have new songs.

They are still demos, some of the words are wrong, some don't make any sense, but still...

Face it, you will NEVER write songs like these :)

On one of my first posts I asked everyone why were they here on Vox. Well, we made this page just to submit our music to the A&R guys and, hopefully, to involve their labels in our project. We met a few interesting people along the way and received lots of comments on our music, which was great! One of our main goals, knowing if our work could be appreciated by a wider (and unknown) audience, was reached and it was a success.

This is my last post because there are many important things that I don't really want to share and there are so many more stupid things that "I could" share. I don't want to write a post about my cat sneezing, just as I don't want to start posting pointless comments on other people stuff just to get their attention. I am a musician and my job is to make music, I'm more concerned about writing lyrics than posts :)

I believe this could really be a valid alternative to the old way of getting heard by sending in cds, it's just that I don't feel like there's much more I can do to get ourselves heard without acting like a pathetic attention seeker. If you listened to our songs then you probably can understand why we can't act like that.

THIS IS THE GLITCH.

If you want to work for/on our band, please get in touch!

A taste of our music is here on this page, we will still post relevant news and new music when we got any.

And just to get things in motion...

1. We are looking to do some gigs in Europe this summer/fall so we are currently taking into consideration any kind of venue. Please, let us know if your local venues will accept a band from Italy. We don't travel first class or need four hotel suites filled with roses and champagne, a Ryanair flight, cold pizza and couches for four will do.

2. We are looking for a live promoter for the UK alone, we are looking for a more intensive serie of gigs there during summer/fall. Same as above applies.

3. We are looking for a record deal. Are you an A&R at one of the labels on this site or other major labels? Are you an indie label and wish to sign us? Please, get in touch! We need to be SAVED from our own lives :)

Hey Voxers, how are you doing?

You've been growing in numbers and we are receiving more comments than we could have hoped for, so this is our usual THANK YOU!!!

On rehearsals day, formerly known as tuesday, we had a lot of fun rehearsing our complete setlist, working on our three new tracks and I even got to play some drums! (I did pretty good considering no one was in the room at the moment) I am so excited by our new songs that I will share some details with you...

1. Working title "Shoot the teenagers"

As usual, I am talking about something by singing and describing something else. It's a sad short story, sung a là Morrissey, about a shooting that happened or could happen. I love the dramatic twist in both the music and the rhytm near the end, but I'm still working on the lyrics to that part. Boy, this will sting!

2. Working title "Your second lovesong"

This was once a classic lovesong but everything changed when we started working on our new sound. Stealing a steady beat from bands like The Strokes and Queens of the stone age, it has evolved to a great rock song that will have you dancing. Obviously I have to write fresh new lyrics, since now the chorus has the exact lenght for "I want to f**k you in the **s" and that's not so nice.

3. Working title "Do something / The moon song"

I believe this is going to be a great song, an emotional journey through hope, despair and disillusion. I don't want to spoil the story just yet, I'll just tell you that it's based on the thoughts of a homeless lady I met in a bar on my way back home from work. It's also going to sound very different from what we've done so far. At this stage you could probably link this song to Sigur Ros / Nine Inch Nails / Mogway. Go figure!

And there's more coming...!

If you like our music then spread the word! We feed on your feedback... :)

We are getting more and more comments everyday and I'm starting to get in touch regularly with some Voxers, musicians and not. Many of you have been really supportive of our work and this is encouraging us to put a lot more effort in what we do. We really want to make great music and be heard by as many people as we can.

We need your comments to get noticed! So please, leave a few words on our songs, your feedback is the most important thing we can ask for. And let others know about our music, spread the word!

A shout out to Side Niche who featured us on this post about blogging, and to everyone who marked us as favourites and is featuring our songs on their audio page.

Hey Voxers!

First I'd like to thank everyone who left comments on our vox/books/audio, this is giving us so much strenght! I know I was born to sing and write songs, nonetheless tomorrow I'll have to go to the office again, until something better comes along. This is why your comments are really making us proud of our work, pushing us forward and up.

I'm going to put the finishing touches on the lyrics to one of the new songs. It's about not fitting in, being disappointed by the way things are, by the way others seem to fit in so easily that they too become a part of this big grinding machine. And there's a shooting involved :)

If you were to indicate a song whose lyrics really changed your ways of thinking, what would it be?
