Bassguitarplayer of DEAR WOLF from march 2022 to december 2024

....since I entered the basement of a doctor's office in Kempen in spring 1991 with my freshly purchased red semi-acoustic electric guitar (Aria Pro II), I couldn't stop making my own noise in musical form.
A mixture of 60's garage punk, noise pop, alternative noise and indie guitar stuff and ska influence my songwriting to this day.

Seitdem ich im Frühjahr 1991 mit meiner frisch-gekauften roten Halbakustik-E-Gitarre (Aria Pro II) den Kellerraum einer kempener Arztpraxis betrat konnte ich nicht mehr aufhören eigenen Krach in musikalischer Form herzustellen. 
Eine Mixtur aus 60´s-Garagepunk, Noisepop, Alternativkrach und Indiegitarrengegniedel und Ska beeinflussen mein Songwriting bis heute.

" Killer bouncy punk rock ripper hear from this great band outta Italy. Bravata continues to bring the hits on their second single “Lead The Sin”. The title track kicks off with a tune that recalls fellow Italian Punk Rockers Taxi with big driving guitar hooks and an echoed reverberating chorus that just draws you in. On the flip is a really catchy mellower tune called ‘Rude’ that really surprised me. It sounds like Joey Ramone collaborating with Johnny Thunders writing a mellower downer tune for Thunders first solo record. The song is very well written, inspired and played with a genuine sense of passion that you don’t see in to many punk bands these days. Generally with two songers, if theirs a mellower tune, it usually doesn’t have as much of an impact as the faster tune. But on this single it does and I keep coming back to it more than the A-side. If you have’t heard Bravata, this is a good place to start. Recommended. "

"Don’t know how it goes over in their native Italy, but Bravata has a good, lusty ‘feel’ to this American . . ." (Neal Umphred, Rather Rare Records)

"The lead track/theme song ‘Bravata’ is an instant classic. The B-Side ‘The South They All Ignore’ is the real hidden gem here. This track is the coolest fusion of T-Rex, Link Wray, and early Sub Pop psych-grunge." (Kevin McGovern, Fear And Loathing in Long Beach / Blinded By A Million Shades) 

“It’s great! I like it a lot! Excellent work! I want to hear more!” (Dean Rispler, Dictators NYC, Osaka Popstar, Kosmodemonic, Swilson)

"Il pezzo omonimo è un anthem punk che non si schioda dalla testa. Sul lato B una ballata dalle atmosfere dark..." (Manuel Graziani, Rumore)
 
"Boom! Prima pallottola andata a segno per i Bravata" (Antonio Romano, Rock.it) 

"Really good two song banger here" (Tom Spencer, Dead Beat Records)
 
"Questo è solo l'inizio" (Christian Montagna, Son of Flies)
