The hardcore/punk band from Rome, Grand Theft Age, was founded in April 2004 by the singer Sandro a.k.a. Teschio, Gianpiero and Emanuele from DUAP, Cristian from Bierkampf and Federico from Shots in the Dark. The influences of the band are many, but the main line is Punk, Hardcore and Oi!
Since their formation, Grand Theft Age has played with many groups of the Roman scene as Payback, The Fourth Sin and Pinta Facile and aswell with international bands such as U.K. Subs and The Last Resort.
During 2007 They have recorded the first full length album “sarà una risata che vi seppellirà”, composed by 10 tracks of Hardcore Punk, recorded and mixed at Kutso Noise Home studios (Rome).
In June 2008 the guitarist Emanuele and later, in October, the bass player Cristian left the band. After a brief period in the rehearsal room with Valerio (The Fourth Sin/Gas Attack) on bass guitar, in May 2009 Grand Theft Age finally completed the line-up with Stefano on lead guitar and Fran on bass, ready to get back on stage more angry than before and with a sound faster and heavier than the previous!!
Grand Theft Age will perform at the Road to Ruins fest 2009!
