At the Soundawn

Although they were originally formed in 2000 by good friends Mirco Migliori (vocals), Andrea Violante (guitar), Matteo Bassoli (guitar), Alessio Bellotto (bass), and Enrico Calvano (drums), Modena, Italy's At the Soundawn didn't really get down to some serious songwriting until five years later, and then worked for another two years before finally unleashing their first album through British independent label UK Division. Entitled Red Square: We Come in Waves, the record contained a progressive blend of post-hardcore and metalgaze, spiced with jazz and Latin music ingredients, and was subsequently picked up for worldwide distribution by Lifeforce Records. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
