The HUBUSE is a Made-In-Italy rock band formed by:
Domenico "Mido" Russo - Guitar&Vocals Pietro "Mr.P" De Carlo – Bass Guitar Claudio Ciaccia - Drums
The first encounter between them dates across the years 2008 and 2009, when their paths crossed thanks to the resourcefulness of Mido, who was determined to form a band to play his compositions and who made of that meeting the starting point.
Being convinced by the potential of his songs, the new band was immediately started up: the three guys began to know each other, first as human persons, discovering musical affinities (they actually share the same musical background: Nine Inch Nails, Queens Of The Stoneage, Pearl Jam, Nirvana) and meeting some important differences to complement each other.
Finally they started to arrange together all the songs, everyone participating actively to the composition process.
The successive meeting with the producer Alberto Campi was absolutely decisive for their immediate future: he was actually crucial to develop the skills of every individual element, revealing the characteristics of the whole band and following them in a constant process of growth. Absorbed by this new context, the idea to contaminate with the electronic elements their first more standard rock sound has moreover given to the HUBUSE that indispensable element to create their own personal style: compositions are characterized by simple but effective structures, very fast and dynamic rhythms, using direct and essential lyrics (they use English language by its immediacy and sound). They mix all these ingredients to obtain a strong, loud and lively wall of waves.
HUBUSE rock sound is both alternative and orientated to a wide audience. It combines the care of every single detail to the well deserved research of simplicity, even going into more pop stylistic elements as well.
It can be well recognized listening their first EP "Hustle & Bustle". As a short presentation, it’s a manifesto of our modern age. The songs are composed by powerful guitar riffs, a beating groove and a voice desperately shouted and distorted by anger, full of desire for unrestricted freedom but also reckless and abandoned to uncertain thought for the unknown future.
This is just the beginning: HUBUSE debut album is already in progress.
