Hello! Today we write in English because we're giving out some info on topics that could interest also listeners from outside Italy. Our Italian fans are omniscent creatures who speak every language so there won't be any problem with this.
It ain't no secret that we are working on our new (first) LP, and if you didn't know you've heard it here!
Living in four different cities makes it difficult to gather and reharse and arrange and record the new songs but we're manageing to do it, althought not as fast as we would like to. But this way we have a lot of time to think about it and listen to demos. We're aiming to hit the studio with 12 new tracks ready, and getting it done and published will take a long time for sure (we think at least a whole year from now) because of the timings of recording and life and stuff.

Still, we'd still like to share something about the record we're working on: for now, we limit ourselves to talking about some of our listenings, which we feel have inspired and influenced us during this process of writing and recording. Read: where we are going to steal from!
In alphabetical order!
Acres - Silos
This is a kind of obscure 00s band from New Jersey I've found in my teenage years. I've came back to only four songs they've recorded to find a sound which I think is similiar to some of the more "straight" songs we have on this album. reccomended
Beau Navire - Hours
We like this band a lot and appreciate the "explosive" parts in their arrangements.
Boy Problems - Summer Tour Songs
This is one of my (Alberto) favourite records ever, just perfect, i think verybody interested in emo music should listen to it. It's something which I've always had as a reference point and high standard eversince the band started and I feel that on this record (actually, since the Scherzo Eterno EP) we started to naturally lean towards this style more than to the "classic" Algernon Cadwallader sound we've worshipped so far. Twinkly guitars and math rock are still there but I repeat our last two tracks could be a kind of bridge between this two nuances of Stegosauro.
Ale: I like the drama and the obscurity. Moreover, all Dave Wagner bands (Ache Hour Credo, M Blanket, Daddy's Hands) are great and inspirational.
The Bulletproof Tiger - Wanna Kiss About It?
Our more math-rock parts have to sound at least 1/16th tight of this shit here or we can quit. So good!!
The Brave Little Abacus
I (Alberto) fangirl this band and its frontman/songwriter/guitarist/singer/drummer/ideologist so much it's embarassing. Really one of my favourite musiscians ever! The eccentricity of sincere, pure emotion and creativity in their albums is outstanding and very moving to me. I've been told i have a similar guitar approach and i appreciate that, because I think it's true and I never hid my passion for this band. So despite having our own identity, I hope we could sound this powerful! must listen if you vibe with us.
Converge
Even though stilistically dissimiliar, this is mainly a thing for drummers. I (Will) am much inspired by Benjamin Koller's vocaboulary in drumming. I think my apporach in writing writing fills is similiar. "You Fail Me", "Jane Doe", "The Dusk in Us" are must listens.
City of Catterpillar
Ale: i like the tension of it. We're gonna have more long and more hard parts in this record.
Cowboys Aren't Indians
Very elegant and great vibes... role model for the "soft" stuff in our record.
Dilute - Grape Blueprints Pour Spinach Olive Grape
Same as above! Not what we are used to do but inspirational.
Kidcrash
Another very creative, solid and effective band. Properties that surely could benefit our music.
Make Me
Same argument as Boy Problems: I've long admired this band and I think new songs have a kind of aggressive cut which similiar to that of so-called "midwest screamo". Such an horrible label. Please never use it to describe us. Phenomenal band indeed, very very inspiring to me.
Ale: i like how sadness feel in their music
Neil Perry - Lineage Situation
This is one of our favourite records ever and I will use the much outdated term "epic" to define it, aware of the disservice I'm doing to the greatness and genius of Neil Perry.
On the Might of Princes - Where You Are and Where You Want to Be.
Apart for the fact this record is incredible. there are a few specific cues I feel we're taking from it.
- The rythmic section sounds and arrangement are flawless as well as the songs. No filler!!
- This is a monumental album, now having the opportunity of putting out an LP of 10 tracks we have more room for expression, given it's a bigger set of songs, and we aim to a similiar affect. We like punk and short, brutish songs, but also albums that feel huge, a world in its own. The Newfound Interest in Connecticut, Brave Little Abacus, Ten Grand/Vidablue are a few examples of this.
Or Else Swoon to Death
An italian obscurity. Very good. I never understood who was behind this.. If you read us in some way please reach out!
Toe - The book on my idle plot on a vague anxiety
I don't think this needs introductions, it's special music. Almost gives me goosebumps only thinking about it! Such beauty and sharpness from clean, simple ideas is always a good deal. Personally I love the drum sound but the others say our stuff wouldn't work with such mixing... idk
