punk and heavy metal played at high

Bio:
In 2013
former Houston! drummer Fortu decided to put
together a project that could combine his love for rock and roll and the
catchiness of fast, sharp rhythms. That’s
how Kickstarter
Ritual were born. SInce from the beginning, they were
looking for a full time singer, however, while practicing, they realised they
did not need one, as drummer Fortu was already doing a
pretty damn good job behind the mic: with the passing of time, the choice of
having a vocalist/drummer became Kickstarter Ritual’s trademark. The power trio
developed biting sounds, halfway between punk, rock and heavy metal. Lyrics are
based on ancient curses or late drunkenness, jumping on your bike and riding
away. A year later, Black Mama EP was released: four aggressive tracks, recorded
live at high volume. The record was quite popular and the band managed to get an
handful of gigs without quitting the songwriting process. Sounds became more
refined and complex, so the trio opted for the release of a catchy single for
Christmas 2015: “Cooperate”. This song is a
steady, sharp, galloping tune with a singalong chorus: still one of the main
tracks at their live shows. The sound spectrum went wider with blues and garage
influences from the Stones and The Hellacopters.
In
2016, Juliusz, founder member of
the glam rock band Hollywood
Pornostar, became the new bass player: he brought more
contaminations in the sound of the band, and the together they begun to write
new music. Kickstarter
Ritual started recording
their first LP, "Ready to Take a
Ride", in May 2017: the band did not lose its raw
approach and sound and they managed to create an album that, in its eleven
tracks, travels through several styles and genres. It breaks categorizations and
it shows a powerful straight forward rock and roll, chromed with catchy pop
sounding melodies. After a three weeks European
tour, Gaby, cofounder
of Houston! with Fortu, joined the
band. Juliusz switched to guitar,
with Gaby taking on the bass'
duties.
The brand new power-trio is technically more skilled, sharper and
tighter, and the growing fan base is vibrating and energetic. Kickstarter
Ritual’s future is bright: Fortu, Juliusz and Gaby are willing to do
anything to smash it and bring their music to as many people as
possible.
