I have been composing and mastering music since 07. Over the years I have learned a lot about how music should be structured and flow and how each type of instrument should work together. I was never the greatest at playing instruments live. I played guitar for many years prior to composing, but it never seemed to go anywhere. Once I was able to get a hold of music software it opened up a world of possibilities. I had time to work on something, build something, and that was where I found my strong point and what deep inside I always wanted with music. I am still learning new things all the time and I realize the learning process will never stop. if it does it will just get boring and repetitive.
I recently got into vocals. It started a whole new set of challenges. Even though I am far from a master, I have learned so much about singing in the last few months. I hear myself getting better every recording session. I'm interested how my music will sound in the future because singing added a whole new element for me!

Born from the need for extreme music, Blaskhyrt are a death metal band founded in late 2009 from an idea by Antonio Lo Fiego (lead guitar) and Danilo Cosa (singer). Once have found the perfect drummer in Alberto Foresti, they recruit Roman Khmelovskyy as bassist. After two months of activity they released The Empire's Plague, EP containing three unreleased songs. It also joins the group as rhythm guitarist Simone Martini. With this line up the band started a live activity with many dates, even in Milan and at the Culture Day and entered the studio in late July to record their full length debut VOID, out in early 2011. Unfortunately, during the recording session both bassist Roman and guitarist Simone decided to leave the band. The place of guitarist is taken by Lorenzo Fornaciari, and after various tests the bass player became Anil Koca. After the album release the band plays in various gigs around Emilia including Temporock in Gualtieri (RE), Chromium in Crevalcore (BO) and Viadana Chaos Assault Death Fest. In early 2012 they enter again in the studio to record their new album Ideological Carnage, that presents a style change, showing a more complex and refined but at the same time more brutal and technical songwriting, fostering an artistic growth of the quintet.
Death Metal without compromises, technique and speed of execution combined with the brutality of the riffs never dull, bonecrusher never boring drumming, clean bass never distorted with complex structure, refined and sophisticated lyrics focusing on the modern conception of religion, live performance full of grit and power with non-stop headbanging. These are Blaskhyrt.

Turn off your television is a three man band from Sweden with influences in the 60s, 70s and the 90s. Inspired by the likes of Sparklehorse, Luna, Cracker and Grand Archives many people describe their music as soft melodic folk rock with simple and memorable hooks. Imagine easy-going tunes with strong vocal harmonies and guitar-driven acoustic americana, that is seamlessly embellished with the whiffs of harmonica and slight psychedelia now and then. Then blend it with some swedish depression and you have songs that spill across your ears like a gentle stream, much like the soothing tones of nature it self. Some people might call it gentle Seattle rock, while others rather refer to the music as cool slow-wave or even altcountry.

There have always been something bittersweet about Turn off your television’s music. Much thanks to the Swedish weather and the over all sometimes lonely moderate way of living. To put it simple: It’s a strange and ambivalent flavor of love and displeasure that is the foundation of the band – A kind of happy feeling, but still in a way, sad. The self titled debut album is full of intimate, memorable songs, subtly arranged, always with an unforgettable melody. It’s delicious rockmusic that grabs hold of your guts – never willing to let go. The record is slowly crafted, where every song transmits a special care. The kind of album that every day grabs you with a different tune. It’s an addictive indie-trio that invites you to stop, listen and relax into it’s melodic warmth.

Turn off your television break from the swedish herd by infusing their music with a rustic feel usually reserved for folk. The result is the best of two worlds: Catchy and emotional songs, yet airy and earthy, but still always captivating. This unique balance is what makes their self-titled debut such an intimate and affecting affair. The album is unrelentingly beautiful, with each track hanging heartfelt sentiment on effortlessly catchy melodies that burn with quiet intensity. Their eponymous debut is a compilation of varying styles of ambient rock infused folk ballads that take you on emotional highs and lows, but never reach extremes.

Last but not least Turn off your television have always been fascinated by old things. May it be guitars, microphones or old recordings. Many times their best songs have emerged playing old acoustic guitars from the 50s and 60s. They may not sound “good” in a traditional way, but instead musical and honest, just the way they like it.

In the end Turn off your television is a brilliant tasteful example of how to smoothly incorporate tiny little pieces of music history in their own sound and turn it into something new and exciting. It’s music like a warm embrace when the autumn storms arrive.

Five things that have influenced the band

1. Swedish depression – Simple as that, being a swede is a great deal of the bands sound. There is something bittersweet about our music, thanks to the swedish weather and the over all (sometimes lonely) “moderate” way of living.

2. Old guitars – Old things just sound better, may it be guitars, microphones or old recordings. Many times our best songs have emerged playing old acoustic guitars from the 50s and 60s. They may not sound “good” in a traditional way, but instead musical and honest, just the way we like it.

3. Strange microphones – We just love em’, clean is boring. We have used microphones made out of shotgun shells, old telephones or even made of Copper. It’s sometimes hard to use them live, but we have come up with a solution for that too lately. Be sure to check that out!

4. The 60s, 70s and the 90s – Music from this era has a special place in our hearts. Not that we are reactionists in any way, but many of our favorite bands derived from this time.

5. Sparklehorse - A great deal of inspiration for the band. We are not trying to sound anything like them, that’s impossible, but the feeling, simpleness and the great melodies is always there.

Electricity fills the room when a musician or group of musicians express themselves from their core releasing a huge amount of energy. When the audience gives that energy right back it's intoxicating and addictive. Something really special happens and the sum is much greater than the individual parts and an authentic connection is made between the band and audience. A moment is shared that is forever remembered and cherished. Today there is so much talk about how a lot of new music is lifeless and boring especially at the concerts. The music is sometimes programmed and made into backing tracks. Nothing played live except the vocals, well, sometimes even that's pre-recorded. Where have all the true artists gone? We believe there is a resurgence of live music. Real music played by people that truly give everything they have to the music they make. We believe in the energy and love that live music brings to everyone involved. Olio was inspired by rock legends that made music in the moment without the help of computers and backing tracks. It's our responsibility to continue this inspired tradition. Sharing moments with you that can only happen at a live show. There is only one way to do this.

In 2014 the band released their 3 third full length studio album "UNTITLED." This is a much anticipated project, after their time with recording legend Eddie Kramer, who produced the bands last two EP's, Comeback Kings & the yet to be released France Sessions. They learned a lot and wanted to combine that knowledge with the energy and fun of their live shows. so when they returned from their Summer Tour in 2013, they hit the studio with reckless abandon. having played most of the new songs on tour, they were really tight and knew exactly how this record should sound and feel. This project offers a nice variety of rock, funk, and pop with well crafted songs and stories. In an era where people are focused on making "tracks" & "hooks" Olio is focused on the song. regardless of genre, the song is the most important thing. Then when you add that to a tight groove and or an edgy riff, you're creating something that people can sink their teeth into.

On December 18, 2012 Olio released the Comeback Kings EP produced by legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer (Hendrix, Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones, Santana, Woodstock, Kiss, Frampton, Robert Randolph, Grace Potter). This session was born from a project at Loyola Marymount University where Eddie and the band recorded their first single together "Hello/Goodbye". This prompted a new relationship so the band & Eddie could finish an EP. Before the project was done, Eddie needed a band to do a session in France for a Recording Workshop for some of the worlds top young Producers. So Olio got on a plane and while there, laid down the foundation tracks for the France Sessions EP. More importantly they wrote two new songs. One of which is "Rich People Problems" which Eddie loved and had the band record it immediately! Old school style, no click track, just push record and go! The song is now a staple in the live shows and shows the raw energy of the band as well as their groovesmanship. The second song "Round & Round" can be heard on their 2014 release "Untitled".

2011 is what kind of started all of this good fortune. Olio won the Emerging Artist Competition held by Rusty’s on the Santa Monica Pier. They were the only band to play the Twilight Dance Series twice in one summer, opening for Dawes with Jackson Browne in front of a crowd of several thousand music lovers. Shortly there after bassist Kelley Hill joined the band and they have been non-stop ever since.

Other accolades include the celebrated release of their 2010 single “Get It Good” following the success of the 2009 11 song album “Living The Dream.” The songs are dynamic ranging from the nylon stringed sweetness of “Completely Beautiful” about the profound impact of becoming a parent (received an Honorable Mention Award in the 2008 West Coast Songwriters International Competition) to a hard rock/rap collab that already has 20,000 NJ Devils fans shouting “Here We Go” at the Prudential Center. Their homage to the mamacita de futbol aka “Soccer Mom” inspired one impassioned UK critic to call them “sexist and subtle as a sledghammer.” The sound they create is rich and packs a punch reminiscent of the John Mayer Trio while thematically aiming for Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life.”

To experience Olio only on recording is doing yourself a disservice. yeah, it's nice to listen to some good songs but wouldn't rather see and feel the experience in person? So, maybe the question isn’t Who or What is Olio but rather When and Where?
