I Treni All'Alba biography
I Treni All'Alba is an Italian rock quartet, from Torino, that has recently released their debut album, thus has implicitly thrown itself out there as a new, but far from inexperienced band; previous partakes in bands such as BelliCosi, Encore Fou, Rudimenti or Sparkle are a source of the band's actual and sparkling experience. The band consists of guitarists Paolo Carlotto and Daniele Pierini, along pianist Sabino Pace and drummer Felice Sciscioli.
Formed in 2002, the quartet did not wait long to record some music, putting up first some promo records, in 2003 and 2005. Their art direction also included spectacles of a theatrical or audio-visual kind. Their 2008 full debut is called Folk Destroyers. Despite this bizarre title, that's almost worth being noted down as an ideal, such an aggressive process doesn't truly happen. Instead, when the folk orientation reaches its highest timbre, the special "Mediterranean", "solar" sieve can almost be fully heard. In the same way, the band itself would apparently derive from the heavy punk scene, yet what it manages to do is embracing a superior and personal musical resolution, reaching out not just into instrumental rock, but also into a degree of folk and audio-theatrical music. 
Their music tends to describe a new, accelerated, inspired, tense appraise of prog rock, catching a color of improvisation, though acoustic-leveled, that's very much alive. The same tendency works - sometimes in an informal way, while, at rare times, in different terms - on richness, expression, traditional inspiration, heterogeneous compositions, testing the scale of complexity, pleasure, adventure and - though it could be a farfetched idea, at least for now - culture. 
Their main album is almost entirely instrumental, with songs both linearly, sotto, and fluidly multi-formed, operatic. Through these entire rock minutes, only a small recitation from John Carpenter takes place. Technically, Folk destroyers is a sort of instrumental suite, in eight chapters, in which the mélange of acoustic guitar, drums and piano dominates. It sustains music, emotions and vibrations of a physical, energetic, dynamic kind. 
Besides all this, it is suggested that, out live, I Treni All'Alba add a youthful, explosive extra element to their expression.
As a diverse note, it gets mentioned almost every time that in Folk Destroyer's booklet, an artwork by painter Domenico Sorrenti is to be discovered.
