Sunday Recovery

•

Sunday Recovery are Mirko Petrini – Vocal, Fabio Staffieri – Guitar, Emanuele Nazzaro – Bass, Alessio Barelli – Drums. Formed in 2009 when main composer Gianluca Cucchiara began collaborating with singer Mirko Petrini and guitar player Fabio Staffieri. The latter duo were later joined by the original drummer Fabio Testaferrata and bass player Emanuele Nazzaro. Once a tight unit, the quartet wasted no time in recording their debut album, and the ambitious rock of “Coma” is the result. Musically, the band pay close attention to songcraft whilst pushing boundaries with progressive overtones, whilst lyrically the album deals with everyday issues such as love, sex, politics and the environment. Mirko, Fabio and Tancredi Gaetani worked together with lyricist Andrew James Whelan to create meaningful, empathetic lyrics that would resonate outside of their native Italy in order for their intended emotion and mood to be shared and enhanced. Whelan is the author of four tracks on the CD.The band secured Porcupine Tree bass player Colin Edwin who contributed to the project by playing bass on the tracks “In Front of You” and “Side C”. The band wanted to create an international feel to their debut album which has led them to mix the CD at Sphere Studios in London.Taking influence from the likes of Colin Edwin’s afformentioned Porcupine Tree, King Crimson and the melodic soundscapes of Muse and The Bends-era Radiohead, Sunday Recovery more than meld a sound of their own. Undeniably a brew that contains as much dark as it ever did light, the band are proving experts in the field of hard hitting rock music. Coma is produced by Mazepa Records with Giovanna Romagnoli.

REVIEWS:

- Street Voice UK
Wow! That's all I've got to say about this album from Italian quartet 'Sunday Recovery'. These guys certainly know how to rock out in style. I'm in awe. A splendid album which also see's Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) playing bass on a number of tracks. There's definitely something very cool about this album. In fact it's been such a good listen I actually forgot to review it...! The opening track 'Private Joke' is a killer on an opener if you think that couldn't get any better then give the title track 'Coma' a listen along with 'Young Blood', 'Press Play On Tape', 'Pornstar' and 'Lost And Gone'. This is hard hitting rock music at its best filled with great tunes and originality. The production is amazing as is the packaging! That's all I need to say! 9.5/10

Wow! Questo è cio' che ho da dire riguardo all'album del quartetto italiano Sunday Recovery. Questi ragazzi certamente sanno essere "Rock" con stile. Un album splendido che vede anche la collaborazione di Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) su alcune tracce. C'è qualcosa di veramente speciale in questo album. Infatti ascoltarlo è stato così gratificante da farmi scordare di recensirlo...! La traccia di apertura "Private Joke" è veramente una traccia killer e se pensate di non potere avere qualcosa di meglio ascoltate la title-track "Coma" e "Young Blood", "Press Play On Tape", "Pornstar" e "Lost And Gone". Questa è "hard hitting rock music" ed è servita nel migliore dei modi con grandi canzoni e originalità. La produzione ti conquista così come il packaging del CD. Questo è tutto quello che sento di dover dire!

Sunday Recovery - Coma
They are a tight band, and while maintaining an overall feel, offer plenty of variety within each song with definite prog overtones, and after listening to it a few time it did grow on me, and I recognise that for many this will be a very enjoyable album, with good quality songs. SM

I Sunday Recovery sono una band molto unita, e pur mantenendo uno stile unitario, offrono una grande varietà di emozioni attraverso ogni canzone con chiari toni progressive, e dopo aver sentito questo CD un paio di volte è cresciuto dentro di me e riconosco che sarà un album che piacerà a molti con canzoni di buona qualità.

Sunday Recovery deliver so much more with Coma and it’s a definite recommendation for all those people who expect a little more intelligence mixed into their music.Simon Mulholland

I Sunday Recovery concedono veramente tanto con Coma ed è sicuramente un CD raccomandato a tutte quelle persone che si aspettano un po' più di intelligenza unita alla musica.

...And there is absolutely no reason why the world should not be theirs. They've got the slow-fast-slow-here comes the bridge - swell to an epic finish template down pat, and there are more than enough Radioheady bits to keep the serious rock press happy while the girls get weepy and the lads get beery. If they make a windswept video for 'Lost And Gone', and get some serious MTV Rocks / Q video plays, then it should easily be a chart breaker for them.The rocker

...non ci sono ragioni per cui il mondo non debba essere loro! Hanno lo Slow-fast-slow (passaggi drastici dal lento al veloce) poi arriva il bridge fino al finale epico, e nei pezzi si sentono bits all'altezza dei Radiohead tali da rendere soddisfatta la critica rock più competente, mentre le ragazze si innamorano e i ragazzi si ubriacano. Se facessero un video di Lost and Gone, e ottenessero dei passaggi su MTV, per loro sarebbe molto facile scalare le classifiche.

Italian rockers, Sunday Recovery, release their album Coma on 3rd October on Mazepa Records and we just got a copy through the gates of hell. First impressions… Awesome!

I rockers italiani, Sunday Recovery, realizzano il loro primo album Coma in uscita il 3 Ottobre (Mazepa Records) e noi abbiamo ricevuto una copia attraverso i cancelli dell'inferno. Prima impressione... Meraviglioso!

- Ring Master Reviewes
Sunday Recovery's Coma might not be a complete album in some ways but it is one of the more inspiring and certainly one of the most enjoyable that has seen the light this year so far. Ring Master

Coma dei Sunday Recovery potrebbe non essere un album ancora completo per certi versi, ma è uno di quelli che ci ha dato più ispirazione ed uno dei più piacevoli album che hanno visto la luce quest'anno.

- Get Ready to Rock
This album will be of interest to fans of Porcupine Tree (for the intricate arrangements on some songs), the Manic Street Preachers (lyrically) and Pearl Jam (for the agression particulary on 'Private Joke'). Hopefully this album will get the exposure and buzz it deserves as it has the chance to appeal to fans of the aforementioned bands. Jason Ritchie

Quest'album solleverà l'interesse dei fans dei Pocupine Tree (per gli arrangiamenti intricati di alcune canzoni), dei Manic Street Preachers (per i testi) e dei Pearl Jam (per l'aggressività, in particolare del pezzo Private Joke). Spero che questo album otterà la fama e l'esposizione che merita perchè ha le carte per conquistare i fans delle band sopracitate.

- Grumpy Rocker
In summary Sunday Recovery are extremely competent musicians, who have taken a considerable amount of time to really work Coma into a rock album that should be appreciated by many listeners...Jimbo Walsh

... per concludere i Sunday Recovery sono musicisti estremamente competenti che hanno impiegato un gran lasso di tempo per far diventare Coma un album rock che dovrebbe essere apprezzzto da molti ascoltatori.

- Live Music Scene
It is exciting to hear their individual sounds slot in so well with each other; satisfying like that perfect game of Tetris. This tight knit team of contrasting talent allows for a sound that, despite any feeling of Eurovision cheesiness tingling in the back of your mind, allows them to be taken more seriously in terms of musicians.

E' eccitante ascoltare il suono individuale di questi musicisti che si fonde perfettamente con quello degli altri, soddisfacente come il perfetto gioco del Tetris. Questo team omogeneo di talenti contrastanti si esplicita in un suono che, a dispetto di qualsiasi preconcetto verso la musica rock proveniente dall'europa "Eurovision", permette a loro di essere presi molto sul serio.
