Italian alternative rock band Overlaps has releasedthier latest single, ‘Mind Over Matter’, and it’s distributed by Sony Publishing and Believe.
Formed in Venice, back in 2016, the band has undergone some line-up changes and is currently composed of Gloria Piccinin (vocals), Stefano Galioto (bass) and Marco Marinato (guitar).
The band’s debut single ‘On Monday’ stormed the Virgin Radio charts in their native Italy in 2016 and managed to stay in them for six weeks. The band’s self-titled debut album Overlaps was released in September 2018 and was produced by Fabio Trentini (Guano Apes, Donots), who brought his very own mix of 90s rock and crossover to the production.
Frontwoman Gloria Piccinin stands out for her soulful and delicate, yet powerful and sometimes even shrill-sounding voice. Together with guitarist Marco Marinato she forms the artistic head of the band. The two are supported by bassist Stefano Galioto. While the guys see their musical background in metal and alternative rock, Piccinin comes more from melodic metal and indie rock.
In 2018, Overlaps supported The Rasmus on their Dark Matter European tour: 27 gigs in twelve different countries in 37 days. Following that huge tour, the band played 15 headlining shows across Europe, including a performance at the 2019 Rockstock Festival at Newcastle University.
‘Mind Over Matter‘ is available here and you can check out the video for it here at RAMzine.
Previous single ‘White Line’ put the focus in life on running, moving forward. Sometimes you come across obstacles, risks and walls, but your inner strength is your guide. Even when you’re unsure and don’t know what the best choice is for your future, you keep going and never give up. The song was inspired by the lockdown days when we were all stuck without live music and broken dreams. You can also catch the video to it here at RAMzine.
Both singles are from the band’s new album, to be released in Autumn.
