The Backlash (IT)

The band was founded by Francesco Lucà (guitarist and composer) and Luca Mangano (drummer) in October 2011, in the north of Milan. Mattia Cochetti (bassist) joined the band and they arranged their first song "Great Big Chance". The voice of Alessio Gatto (singer) filled the bill; so the project called THE BACKLASH started!
Writing the earliest songs, the band mixed together the various backgrounds of the four boys, such as Indierock, BritPop, Shoegaze, Noise and PsychedelicRock.
The band officially made a first appearance in Milan's music scene in early 2013, in a contest called "Emergenza Festival", winning the regional final which took place in "Tunnel Club Milan" and reaching the top 10 in the national final playing on the famous international stage of the "Alcatraz" with positive feedback from the audience and jury.
During the rest of 2013, The Backlash performed several live shows and established a good relationship with other bands and leading figures in the underground scene of Milan.
An important support came from Dj Henry, pioneer of the Mod and Northern Soul scene in Italy. He was the connection to the independent label "Rocketman Records". The Backlash signed the first record deal and recorded the first official work "3rd Generation", a 6 tracks EP released in autumn 2014.
The release party of "3rd Generation" (18th October 2014) was a real triumph of British music, Mod culture, shoegazing sound and Madchester style.
The band is currently focused on the making of their first single's video ("Spin 'Round", track 6 of "3rd Generation") and on the scheduling of italian and European tour dates.
