Биография

Hakan formed in 2014 in Bergamo, a town in the very North of Italy, by guitarist Andrea Carminati, bass player Andrea Facheris and drummer Marco Facheris. All of them share singing and songwriting duties. They released three albums (the fourth one is on the way) and one 7’’. Played Europe several times, USA, Canada and Turkey. Their music incorporates the right amounts of punk, power pop, garage, melodic songwriting and brilliantly stupid lyrics. Short and lightning-fast pieces (which rarely reach two minutes), double voices, infectious choirs, flat guitars and many greetings. Among my favorite pieces (okay, it would be easier to say: all of them) are "King of Edonè", "They don't like it", "Pita for breakfast" and "Hangover girl". Some might say Hakan are Bergamo/Italy's Garage punk band #1 .playing a killer mix of garage punk and power pop. Think early Marked Men with a snottier edge, Radioactivity, Kidnappers, even Mind Spiders! Coincidence? Well...,the Bergamo based group has a lot in common with the Texas bands: first the taste for acidic and melancholic melodies and then the unhealthy tendency to pop-punk with a thousand per hour. Nevertheless, Hakan remain Hakan and don't miss a beat on their records!!
