Bad Love Experience

About ten years ago, Livorno’s underground music scene gets shaken by a repertoire of original pieces straddling from punk rock to melodic hardcore of the nineties: the music of Bad Love Experience. The band’s official line up with Valerio Casini (voice and guitar), Emanuele Voliani (bass and choir) and Gabriele Bogi (drums) is not brought together until 2004 – the beginning of a phase of both musical and personal growth, broadening the diversity and distinction of sound and attitude in any of their projects.
They release a CD in collaboration with Young Silencers for Hot Movie Records and Growing Down Records and give their first concerts outside of Livorno. In addition, Bad Love Experience participates in various Italian compilations alongside musicians of high international standard.
During the following years, the trio works on pieces that are being incorporated into their self-titled debut Bad Love Experience, recorded in the Iris Studio by Fabrizio Brilli and mastered in the Sonic Iguana Studios by Mass Giorgini. The result is a record which is loaded with the sonority of England’s new wave of the end of the seventies, beat of the sixties and American punk of the nineties. With its release in November 2006 for Mabel Records, it receives rave reviews by the best magazines of its genre (Rumore, Mucchio and Rock Sound) and is nominated for the Fuori Dal Mucchio award as the best debut album of 2006/07. The recognition and success is followed by a long tour in Italy and two tours abroad in France, Belgium and in the Baltic States.
In between 2007 and 2008 Claudio Laucci (piano and organ) joins the band and enriches the musical path in many ways. Bad Love Experience starts to work on the second album which is recorded with Justin Perkins as musical producer (Smart Studios of Milwaukee) in the Big Wave Studio of Livorno in July 2008. It is mastered subsequently by Trevor Sadler in the Mastermind Production Studios in Milwaukee.
