To The Max! formed in Verona, bringing together musicians with diverse musical backgrounds. Alessandro Marchi on drums and vocals, Nicola Marchi on guitar and vocals, and Mattia Fraccaroli on bass and backing vocals grew up playing everything from thrash and black metal to sleaze rock. This shared history led them to collaborate during the 2020 lockdowns. They recorded a demo in 2021 and started ripping up stages across Europe, playing venues like Le Brin De Zinc and festivals like Rock Camp. Following their 2022 debut "Midnight Tea", the trio kept writing new material. Now they drop their sophomore studio album, "Two The Max!", via Go Down Records.
The guys play fast and loose,
keeping the momentum going. "Apple Bite" and "Sunday Nite"
bring absolute street-level swagger. The vocals rip over heavy distortion,
giving the music a crazy garage-party atmosphere. They play straightforward
tracks, ignoring bloated song structures. The mix stays loud and proud, putting
the rumbling bass right alongside the buzzing guitars. Some of the grooves run
together, keeping the final tally away from the absolute highest tier. The
riffs still smash through the speakers in a highly satisfying way.
To The Max! delivers a
fun, riff-heavy experience. "Two The Max!" is an absolute blast to
play loud for the weekend. The trio brings serious heat, mixing sleaze, punk,
and metal into a cool concoction. Fans into fuzz pedals and fast tempos will
seriously dig this release. The band delivers a damn good time.
Score: 7.5
