THE STEEL BONES: the Italian band taking their First Steps into the universe of american rock.

Are you a rock music fan? Today, I would like to introduce you to an Italian band that is making waves with their debut album, ‘First Step’.

The Steel Bones, hailing from the Marche region, have created a work that pays homage to the best of old-school American rock, drawing inspiration from the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Doobie Brothers, all while retaining their distinct Italian identity.

Listening to ‘First Step’ is akin to being transported into a cinematic universe, traversing a desert highway. The soulful voice of Ivan Battistella, accompanied by slide guitars and percussion, takes us on a journey through an America of yesteryear.

Opening with ‘Hard Bones’, the track echoes America’s ‘Horse with no Name’ before transitioning into a pure rock piece, without veering into heavy metal territory.

In ‘West Highway’, the band masterfully creates an atmosphere reminiscent of an era long gone by, with an acoustic ballad that evokes the spirit of the Doobie Brothers.

The album boasts moments of raw emotion and intensity, like in ‘Scars Remain’, a ballad that speaks of wounds that cannot be forgotten but instead become a part of us and help us grow.

The album concludes with ‘Rock Company’, a track that pays tribute to the sound of Ted Nugent, and a nod to the Rolling Stones’ ‘Sympathy for the Devil’.

The Steel Bones’ ‘First Step’ is deserving of attention for its ability to transport the listener to an American rock universe, all the while maintaining a strong Italian identity.

So, are you ready to join The Steel Bones on this journey?
