Raintimes is a melodic rock project that emerged from the reknown Italian music scene, known for producing high-caliber AOR (Adult Oriented Rock) bands. The band was formed by two seasoned musicians, Pierpaolo "Zorro" Monti (Charming Grace, Shining Line) and Davide "Dave Rox" Barbieri (Wheels Of Fire, Charming Grace), who both shared a deep passion for '90s AOR music. Their self-titled debut album "Raintimes" was released in December 2017 under the label Frontiers Records, a label that specializes in melodic rock and metal. The project was a tribute to the sound of legendary acts like The Storm and Giant, blending strong hooks, lavish melodies, and robust production.

Raintimes' music is characterized by its infectious choruses and polished sound that resonates with fans of classic AOR and melodic rock. Songs like "Make My Day" and "Don't Ever Give Up" encapsulate the optimistic energy of the genre, while tracks like "Swan" and "Forever Gone" showcase the band's ability to balance emotion with soaring musicality. The band has succeeded in capturing the spirit of a beloved era of rock while injecting fresh energy and contemporary production values. Although Raintimes has not produced an extensive catalog of songs, their initial offerings have been met with enthusiasm from the melodic rock community, earning them a place among genre enthusiasts eager for quality music that nods to the past while looking forward.
