SPLEEN collect in “GUSH” their path
For the Spleen, Gush it's not simply a debut album, but a rallying point. The album was designed to bring order to the path taken and give definitive shape to the initial years of the band.
They are the same ones who tell it Spleenformed by Samuele Riccucci (vocals and guitar), Matteo Innocenti (drums), Olmo Fantini (guitar) e Alberto Sanna (Bass). Gush was born from the need to collect and let settle everything that comes to him Spleen they have built in recent years, transforming experiences, writing and live performances into an organic and definitive work. “Like a plant that forcefully releases its seeds only once they are ready, so we have decided to release GUSH. Harvesting our seeds”.
