Article66

Article 66 is made up of three guys with very different musical backgrounds and influences. Tony T. is a huge fan of Eric Clapton and every musical group he has been a part of, particularly Cream. Clapton is the reason Tony T. picked up a guitar at the age of 12. He is his single biggest influence, although T greatly respects and admires the following musicians, in no particular order: Led Zepellin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Roy Buchanan, Tool, 311, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, Megadeth, Van Halen, Slayer and the Police. Leo is a big fan of Dream Theater, Rush, Megadeth, 311, Avenged Sevenfold and Duran Duran. Luca is obsessed with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They mesh all these influences into an aggressive, yet melodic, hard rock sound that features soulful lyrics, intense energy and musical virtuosity. Every one of A66's songs is about an emotion/state of mind that EVERYONE can identify with. Whether it be frustration, love, hate, rebellion, existentialism, lust, happiness, sadness, feelings of loss or sophomoric stupidity, it is all there. I believe that anyone, regardless of race, culture, religion, sex or social status can identify with and take something away from our music. We offer music that is raw, deep and honest rather than the shallow, over-produced CRAP that you hear on most major radio stations.
