Tracklist:

02. Sunrise
03. Tell Me of the Sun
04. Connections The first single “Connections” is now streaming HERE.
“‘In The Heart Of The City’ is the summary of what we experience every day for better or for worse. This EP, consisting of 4 tracks, is the soundtrack to evenings spent outside until dawn with many thoughts and without a penny in our pocket. It is the story of those who do not go on vacation and keep wandering around their city, working for a better future. It is the result of an adolescence spent in a province that does not offer you opportunities, where the only source of hope is music, the one made by friends who, laughing and joking, still hope to make it out from there”. FLYING DISK were born in 2010 in Fossano (CN), a little town in the North-West of Italy. Originally a three-piece formed by Simone Calvo, Mattia Fenoglio and Luca Mauro, the band soon abandoned their punk rock roots and a minimalistic approach and expanded their sound to include more layered and textural guitar work. In 2012, the band recorded a demo with producer Francesco “Frankie” Groppo (Wherever Recording). After its release FLYING DISK played all over the North-West and Central Italy, hitting several venues, clubs, squats and festivals. In November 2014, the band released the debut album “Circling Further Down”, recorded and mixed by Francesco Groppo at Wherever Recording Studio, co-produced by Francesco Martinat and mastered by Manuel Veniani at Absolute Sound. The record was released via Vollmer Industries, TADCA Records, Canalese Noise Records, Taxi Driver Records, Rude Records, Dreamingorilla Records and Vortex Records Records. Between 2014 and 2015, FLYING DISK played more than 60 gigs in Italy supporting acts such as Zu, Uzeda, Agnostic Front, Cripple Bastards, Hawks, Elder, Mos Generator, OvO, Zeus! and Ornaments. This eventually led to a reissue of the debut album, which came out in a Digipak CD edition limited to 200 copies on Santa Valvola Records, Edison Box and Dio Drone. At the end of 2016 new drummer Enrico Reineri joined the band and the revamped line-up started writing new material. In 2018 FLYING DISK entered the studio to record their second album “Urgency” under the guidance of Francesco “El Dragon” Martinat. This record which marked a very important change for the band, reaching a more personal sound, is produced in collaboration with Foribidden Place (USA), Urgence Disk (Switzerland), Day Off Rec (France), Brigante Rec, Edison Box, Scatti Vorticosi, Mother Ship, Longrail, Frammenti Di un Cuore Esploso, Santa Valvola. The artwork is made by Solo Macello, a point of reference in the heavy music scene The release of the record is followed by a tour in Italy and Europe. In the end of 2022, the band release the EP “In The Heart Of The City”, recorded and mixed in their personal studio by Francesco Martinat, who took Luca’s place as bass player for two years now. The record is the result of years of research in both sound and songwriting and tries to shake off every genre labelling to reach a sound as original and fresh as possible. The mastering for this record is made by Jonathan Nuñez (Torche) of Sound Artillery studio, Miami, Florida. https://www.facebook.com/flyingdiskband https://www.instagram.com/flying_disk_band/ |
