Off Grid

The Waterbomb

First Summer is the debut album by We As A Company. It’s heavy, it’s fragile, it’s a bit all over the place. There’s doom, stoner, noise — but also melody, structure, and something tying it all together. Maybe it’s a British sense of songwriting. Maybe it’s just instinct.
The record is about a made-up first summer of freedom — that strange, wide-open feeling when the future hasn’t arrived yet, and the present stretches out endlessly. It’s naïve, maybe. But it’s real.
The sound shifts constantly: from blown-out riffs to lo-fi confessionals, never really settling. That’s the point.

At the end of the day, the goal was simple: to write songs that matter. Maybe even songs you’ll remember.

We As A Company is a small band trying to make a loud record. They’re based in Italy, in a town most people don’t know. They work mostly on their own, outside of scenes, focused on sound: big, layered, emotional, messy.
Their influences are wide and sometimes conflicting — stoner, doom, noise, alternative metal, sludge, but also brit pop, grunge, shoegaze, even touches of americana and folk. What holds it all together isn’t a genre, but the need to get something out.

They move like a collective — fluid, open, unstable — but at the core there are three fixed members:
V. – voice, guitar, synths
F. – drums
D. – bass

At the heart of We As A Company is a simple belief: songs still matter. Or as Italian philosopher Manlio Sgalambro once said, “The song seems to have concentrated all the poetry possible in our time.”
