It's my fifth album, very important for me because it represents a hard period of my life. i think it's more personal than the others, more emotional. it's quite dark, introspective but also angry and danceable. So it's very weird.
– How would you describe your sound?
between post-punk, punk, alternative rock, new wave, and electronic, but with my own style. I think it's emotional, poetic, rude and visionary too.
– What do you write about?
I write true albums. People can like them or not, but i put all of myself inside. they are a part of me.
– What do you listen to when you are home?
a lot of music. I like the new English/Irish post punk scene, very good things also from Italy. a lot of punk, grunge and metal too.
– your favourite live performance so far?
I have many. Recently, Nine Inch Nails in Milan and Korn in Florence last year, The Cure in Florence and Depeche Mode in Bologna. Sonic Youth at Arezzo Wave, Qotsa in Bologna in 2002, Foo Fighters in Milan in 2005, and Prodigy in Bologna in 2004. But there are so many more.
– Tell us a funny story that happened in studio or on stage
with my band, Acid Brains, we were in the airport in London. We were tired and quite drunk and we started inventing clumsy and stupid imaginary characters, like the lupollo, a half‑wolf, half‑chicken being. It was ridiculous.
– your favourite albums?
nirvana "in utero" and "unplugged", alice in chains "dirty" and "unplugged", sonic youth "washing machine", joy division "closer", the cure "pornography" and "seventeen seconds", depeche mode "violator", the sound "from the lion's mouth", smashing pumpkins "mellon collie", soundgarden "superunknown", qotsa "songs for the deaf", the beatles "sgt pepper's", prodigy "the fat of the land", black sabbath "paranoid", bad religion "generator", nofx "punk in drublic", offspring "smash", litfiba "17 re", verdena "requiem" and many more.
– a musician you would like to meet for a beer?
Robert Smith, Josh Homme, Paul McCartney, and maybe Dave Grohl. i can't meet my favourites anymore: Kurt Cobain, Layne Staley, Ian Curtis, and Jim Morrison.
– What would you ask for backstage, if you were the most important band on earth?
Wow, never thought about it. Anyway, I'd ask to have everything ready when I start to play, good hotels, good food, good wine and beers, good grass. but it's only a dream.
– What are your plans for the near future?
play as much as possible, increase my audience, then relax a little and start again with new music.
