Andrea Manges And The Veterans

Andrea Manges And The Veterans is a musical project born out of Andrea Manges' collaborative efforts, primarily known as the frontman of the Italian pop-punk band The Manges. Andrea started The Veterans in 2006 with producer and guitarist Alex Bounty, initially aiming to create surf-inspired punk music with guest musicians, focusing on recording rather than live performances. Over time, the group evolved into a more stable lineup, leading to a name change to "Andrea Manges And The Veterans," which signifies both a continuation of the Veterans saga and a fresh start. Their music combines elements of old-school Euro pop-punk with surf rock influences, and they have released material including a self-titled album and several singles.

Their music collection, titled "Summer Music 2008-2018," highlights their progression from a side-project into a more defined musical entity. The group's sound is distinguishable from Andrea's work with The Manges due to its more personal lyrics and a stable lineup featuring members from bands like Teenage Bubblegums and The Ponches. This shift not only reflects Andrea's personal creative direction but also marks a significant evolution in the Veterans' identity as they continue to contribute to the vibrant European punk scene.
