Merighi is the first single of Altre's new EP, out in 2024 for WWNBB Collective. Merighi is about an insecure man who rehearse speeches and songs in front of the mirror. And while talking to himself says: before I was an insecure person we had many things in common and maybe I should go back to find myself again.

Lyrics:

I used to rehearse 
in front of the mirror, 
I used to try 
generic speeches. 
Suppose -you never know- you found me on the comedy night stage 
I wouldn't want 
to be caught unprepared. 
I used to rehearse 
in front of the mirror, 
I used to try 
my favorite songs. 
Suppose -you never know- you found me at the karaoke night 
I wouldn't want 
to be caught unprepared. 
We had more in common than today, I wonder 
if what we need now 
is to take the way back on the roundabout.

Merighi

Sherpas always go ahead with their greatness hidden in the background. 
I'm asking how exhausting it must be.
Oh well that's why climbers make their fortune.
Could you please consider how it was hard and how it's hard leading such an ironic life?
When they arrive on the glacier the mountaineers are still in town. 
I’m so glad I’m climbing Everest.
No traffic and I’m reaching Everest.
Oh I’m so sad I’m climbing Everest.
Oh nobody cares I’m climbing Everest.
Who cares about my Everest?

Sherpas often have no merit.
They pass unnoticed in the daylight.
I guess you know what I refer to, I guess you felt like this many times. 
At least could you please consider how it was hard and how it's hard leading such an ironic life?
When they arrive on the glacier the mountaineers are still in town. 
I’m so glad I’m climbing Everest.
No traffic and I’m reaching Everest.
Oh I’m so sad I’m climbing Everest.
Oh nobody cares I’m climbing Everest.
Who cares about my Everest?

Altre di B - Sherpa

For a band that burst onto the music scene with a do-it-yourself CD containing Panini stickers of Serie B football teams (from which the band's name derives), followed in quick succession by their debut album There's a million better bands (2011), you wouldn't think that the Italian name Altre di B corresponds to an energetic indie rock, contaminated by post-punk, jangle and twee pop, sung in English. And instead for Altre di B, formed as a band in high school, the international vision has always been an artistic prerogative. Thus, combining energy and a strong euphoric dimension, the result is a nervous, surprising and jubilant rock, which has taken the group around Italy, Europe and North America, participating in international festivals such as Primavera Sound, SXSW, Sziget Festival, Mondo NYC, Indie Week Toronto, Ypsigrock, Europavox, LUCFest Taiwan and Iceland Airwaves. With the 2014 album Sport the band landed on television thanks to the video clip featuring the former world champion goalkeeper Dino Zoff: for two seasons Altre di B became the correspondents of the television show Quelli che il calcio supporting their hometown team Bologna Fc. In the meantime, they transformed an old barn in the Bolognese countryside into a rehearsal room, which would be the birthplace of the albums Miranda! (2017) and SDENG (2021), the latter co-produced by Bruno Germano (Iosonouncane) and the Italian-American Label WWNBB Collective (Be Forest, Brothers in Law, a/lpaca, KOKO MOON, Her Skin, Lofi Legs). The barn, which has since become a meeting point for the hardcore punk scene, is still today the place that most inspires Altre di B, working on their new album, out in 2024.
