Sandness

**Sandness** is an Italian rock band that’s been blending alternative rock and punk energy with power pop hooks since forming in Rome in the mid-2000s. Known for their high-octane live shows and relatable lyrics, the group—fronted by Alessandro Paolucci (vocals), Gabriele Fiori (guitar/backing vocals), Stefano Micolucci (bass), and Marco De Bellis (drums)—has carved out a loyal following across Europe. Their 2008 debut *Nevermind Your Mind* set the tone for their signature sound, and recent releases like *Play Your Part* and *Higher & Higher* showcase their knack for anthemic choruses and introspective themes. With nods to bands like Green Day and Foo Fighters, Sandness keeps their music raw, riff-driven, and irresistibly catchy.
