Bio
Janismirror is a Hard Rock / Grunge band from Milan (Italy), influenced by Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Grunge and Post-grunge.
Paul Basilico formed the band in late 2010.
It took some time to search for their personal sound, to set up their songs and to reach a solid line-up, with Lisa Benzoni on vocals, Mirko Montrasio (also with Agony Face) on bass and Maurizio Barchiesi on drums.

Since 2013/2014 they played live (Woodstock, Una e Trentacinque, Rock on the Road, Manifest 2014, Circolo di Mariano, Nerolidio, Shabba, Wanted, Rock 'n roll Rho and Milan, Democrazy 2016/2017/2018 and in some other contests), presenting their songs with both electric and acoustic shows.

In 2015 the band replaced Maurizio Barchiesi with the new drummer Giacomo Cocetta.

In September 2016 they won the Democrazy 2016 contest.

In June 2017 they released their self-titled 2 tracks promo, available for:

Influences
Janismirror's sound is influenced by 90's Grunge; it has been restyled in a modern way through typical sounds of 2000's and Post-grunge.

Songs reflect Paul's inspiration from US modern metal like Alter Bridge, Black Stone Cherry, the Hard Rock strongness, and the ecleticism of Mirko Montrasio.

Janismirror sound can be defined as unique, both melodic/catchy and modern/raw, joining figurative and meditative Lisa's lyrics, half way from oniric/sperimental (Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree, Verdena) and rock/metal spontaneity (Halestorm, Evanescence, The Gathering).

Trying to make as much music as I can before I die

His music, echoing the expressive sounds of artists like James Blake and SOHN, reflects the musings of a wise soul and a consummate artist who has explored a broad range of sounds and genres.

Ale’s musical journey began with the discovery of his parents’ vinyl collection. His passion for bands like The Beatles, The Alan Parson’s Project, and The Police, along with his fascination with artists like Mozart and Jimi Hendrix, shaped a musical identity that influenced the sound of his early work.

As frontman and vocalist of Italian bands Pragma, Movida, and Rezophonic, Ale’s 30-year-long career as a writer and performer has showcased his continual artistic evolution, recently transitioning from a guitar-based sound to a more electronic, synth-driven approach full of heartfelt vocals and atmospheric songcraft.

His lyrics reflect a profound understanding of his life’s journey, comprehending every experience as part of a greater process. A songwriting style that reflects his emotional maturity and introspective artistic personality.
