band founded in 2009 by lead vocalist Stash Fiordispino, drummer Alex Fiordispino and Daniele Mona who plays synthesizers. They are known for their hits "Everytime", lead single from their second studio album, and the collaboration "Pensare male" with Elodie. Their 2023 song "Italodisco" peaked at number one in Italy and charted in severals European charts.
After winning of the Italian talent show Amici di Maria De Filippi, coached by Elisa, the group has released three studio albums: I Want (2014), Out (2015) and You (2017), singing both in Italian and English. Since their debut the band has sold over 650.000 copies in Italy and won many accolades, including three Wind Music Awards, one MTV Italian Music Awards, one Kid's Choice Award and two participation at Sanremo Music Festival with "Frida (mai, mai, mai)" (2018) and "Un ragazzo una ragazza" (2024).
In 2016 at the MTV Italian Music Awards, the band is criticized for their behavior during the performance, during which Stash spits at the camera. Moreover, at the end of the song they get off the stage without listening to the conductor Francesco Mandelli who was about to give them the MTV History Award. Afterwards the singer apologized to the presenter and the award ceremony.
In 2018, after a guest performance at Amici, the host and producer of the format, Maria De Filippi, revealed a background of the band's entry into the talent show in 2016 by declaring: "When Stash and his band were chosen to be the challengers, the editorial staff told me they didn't exist: there were no documents proving who he was". The front-man replied, "I had falsified the documents: I said I was a year younger in the office because I thought I was too old to be in the school. That's the way it is in Naples: you always find the solution to the problem!"
In the summer of 2018 Stash was involved in a fight to defend a girl who had been beaten in public by her partner. The singer says, "When you see an injustice, when you see that someone needs your kindness and someone else deserves your violence, act. Help, help yourselves."
