would be nice to list everyone that inspired us, but unfortunately we are sure we would forget someone. so we could just say "everyone that had a special part in our lives, that filled and fills our everyday life helping us being less grey".
probably is a bit vague, but sincerely, we don't care. we just care about the ones we love.
sons of vesta is an independent diy label based in arezzo, italy.
we strongly believe that punk could still be a threat and we hope we aren't wrong. we are not taking bands in our roster, we are making friends out of here.
