Blatoidea

blato

The name is inspired to a latin word indicating the name of the species in which the cockroaches are included to. The name is a metaphore to the nowadays society. Doesn’t matter how much you struggle to get a better position into the system, how many wars we win or we lose, we are all on the same level, same race, same species, all nothing but cockroaches to the eyes of who controls the entire thing and in the same way they can get rid of all of us. In December 2008 Manu (Vocals,Lead Guitar) Jacko (Vocals,Bass) and Carlo (Rythm Guitar,Backvocals) sick of the frustrating sterile contest of Sicily, they start giving life to songs musically influenced by the sound of different bands like defiance, restarts and old school bands always keeping the distance from conventional standards and labels of nowadays. In really short time they record their first demo “start an Infection” containing 8 tracks, which has been made public only by web. Few mouths after Fabrizio (Drums) joins the band by which who they can set up their first tour in Italy. Afterwards the three original members decide to move in London where after few mounths later luke (Drums) joins the band who gets the band back playing on stages.
