Starla
Active since 2003 and having recorded three demo-cd, they are now established in Rome’s underground scene with several live performances in a number of clubs.
At the end of 2004 the original singer was changed and in April 2005 the band reassessed its target with new lead-vocals, finding new inspiration and producing new material.
Their style combines various aspects of alternative rock and the early 90s’ powerful and raw Seattle’s grange sound of the beginning has been filtered through a more stoner-like approach. With time everything has been revisited with an Italian touch, yet maintaining their peculiar

At the end of 2004 the original singer was changed and in April 2005 the band reassessed its target with new lead-vocals, finding new inspiration and producing new material.
Their style combines various aspects of alternative rock and the early 90s’ powerful and raw Seattle’s grange sound of the beginning has been filtered through a more stoner-like approach. With time everything has been revisited with an Italian touch, yet maintaining their peculiar
style.
During concerts they express their energy through a strong scenic impact and the loud volume. Alessandro Giovannini - lead-vocals, Stefano Tarsitani and Gianluca Giordano - guitars, Giulio Chidini - bass and Gianluca Giannasso – drums and percussions, are the key ingredients of this explosive band. One answer above all is given when they are asked about the meaning of the name ‘Starla’: “It is an essence, a will which exists when we are either on stage or during rehearsal and between us at all times”.
Their passion for Rock music - from the 60s’ till present - leads them to mix different genres while creating music. In the Album, released in May 2008, it is possible to listen to tracks like Anima00 - with a definitely catchy guitar riff, or E-Motivo - introspective and mysterious, or Dandy – toughly ironic, alongside easier going tracks like Fiume - radiant and energetic.
The entire Album is a vivid portrait of the Starla’s universe, which places itself along the alternative Rock made in Italy, with some psychedelic insertion.
Starla focused directly on the Rome's audience, quickly gaining a broad consensus while performing in premises directly involved with Rock.
In May 2007 the band signs a label contract with the independent Orange Park Records to realize the debut album, named after the band itself - on sale early the following year.
This will give Starla the chance to get a wider audience and propose their new material, betting on each individual talent.
The band’s goal is to perform as much as possible throughout Italy and fulfil the audience with its true essence.
