ENGLISH VERSION

Fankàz was born on June 2003 to create their own Melodic – Skatecore-style songs. After many changes in the group's line-up, after friends' comings and goodbyes, the line-up is momentary settled: Ricky (guitar and vocals), Mora (bass and vocals), Pole (drums) and Elia (guitar). The band that inspires these guys to play is Belvedere, as all those bands that belongs to Skatepunk and technical hardcore scene, like This is a Standoff, A Wilhelm screm, BigWig, Strung out, Action men, Pendleton, Forus, SunEatsHouers, LagWagon, Venerea and so on.. They record their first 4 songs-DEMO “What is..?” in Paolo Martorana's record-studio in Summer 2005, followed by an EP, recorded at Natural Head Quarter (NHQ) on July 2006: this one lets the band cooperate with Alkemist Fanatix Europe (Management and Promotion). At last after a lot of hard work and thanks to the belief of some very good people, they sign on 12/09/2007 their first contract ever with Quick Flow Records/Alkemist Fanatix Europe. The recordings take part during October 2008 at West Link Studios at Cascina (PI); Alessandro Paolucci and Alessandro Sportelli did the production and the mixing, and Alan Douches did the mastering at West West Side Music (NY). Their first LP “Slow victims for fast predators” was published on October 2009 and distributed digitally to all known channels (iTunes, Amazon, Napster etc. ..), in Italy by Andromeda Distribution Record Companies, and Europe by New Music Distribution. From 2010 onwards, the album is distributed by Road Runner Records Belgium. In 2010 and 2011 the band was mainly devoted to the promotion of the album but did not stop composing. In 2011 arrives also the endorser by Mayones Guitars & Basses (http://www.mayones.com/en/artists_players/fankaz_ricky). After more than 200 live, the band finally gets confirmation for the production of the successor to "Slow for Victims ..."

ITALIAN VERSION I Fankàz nascono nel Giugno 2003 con lidea di suonare pezzi propri in stile Skate-core melodico. Dopo svariati cambi di formazione, l'arrivo e la partenza di tanti amici la formazione si assesta momentaneamente : Ricky (chitarra e voce), Mora (basso e voce), Pole (batteria) e Elia (chitarra). Il gruppo che li spinge a suonare sono i Belvedere e questo li porta ad ispirarsi a tutti quei gruppi che fanno parte di questa scena e a maturare uno stile tendente allo Skatepunk e all' hardcore tecnico come: Belvedere, This is A Standoff, A Wilhelm Scream, BigWig, Strung Out, Action Men, NoUseForAName, Forus, SunEatsHours, Lagwagon, Venerea ecc.. Registrano il loro primo DEMO di quattro pezzi What is..? nello studio di Paolo Martorana nell'estate 2005. Nel luglio 2006 viene registrato il primo ep professionale al Natural Head Quarter (NHQ), questo permette loro nel 2007 di iniziare una collaborazione con Alkemist Fanatix Europe (Management and Booking). Finalmente dopo tanto lavoro e la fiducia di persone fantastiche firmano il loro primo contratto discografico il 9/12/2007 con QUICK FLOW RECORDS/Alkemist Fanatix Europe. Le registrazioni per il primo album ufficiale si svolgono nell'ottobre 2008 presso i West Link Studios di Cascina (PI) con la produzione e il mixaggio di Alessandro Paolucci e Alessandro Sportelli. Il mastering invece è affidato ad Alan Douches nei West West Side Music (NY). L'album "Slow Victims For Fast Predators" esce ad ottobre 2009 e viene distribuito in digitale su tutti i canali conosciuti (iTunes; Amazon; Napster..ecc), in Italia da Andromeda Distribuzioni Discografiche e in Europa da New Music Distribution. Dal 2010 in poi l'album viene distribuito da Road Runner Records Belgium. Nel 2010 e 2011 la band si dedica principalmente alla promozione dell'album senza però smettere di comporre. Nel 2011 arriva anche l'endorser da parte di Mayones Guitars & Basses (http://www.mayones.com/en/artists_players/fankaz_ricky). Dopo oltre 200 live la band ottiene finalmente la conferma per la produzione del successore di "Slow Victims for…".
