Bio
"Now, with the release of "The Last Ones" I can safely say that Sun Eats Hours are among my top five favorite bands of all time, and not considering melodic hardcore exclusively, but all music genres".
PunkInternational gave to the new SEH album "The Last Ones" the highest score of 2005 with 96/100 (December 2005)
Harmony and melody, intensity, attitude, dynamics, simplicity, power, immediacy, research, culture.
Getting off cheap and singing easy slogans is a trick used by most bands in the alternative scene, and itīs exactly what the Sun Eats Hours WONīT do. This value was born with the band in 1997.
"Italian bands are something of a rarity when it comes to hardcore, especially bands that bang away with the fervour of a couple of hares in the spring time - as do this outfit. And sharing the stage with such luminaries as Nofx, Pennywise and The Offspring, itīs apparent that some of their bouncibility has rubbed off, resulting in the crunching roller-coaster of riffs that is The Last Ones. Consume while hot!"
"Sun Eats Hours" is not an usual name. This typical Venetian saying means dont waste the time you haveī. The band truly puts this exortation to practice carrying out a continuous and intense activity from 1997 until today, achieving relevant notoriety both at home and outside Italy, becoming one of the best known Italian punk bands in the world.
The bandīs story starts from a little town in the Vicenza province, in 1997. After playing hundreds of concerts and being present at the main national alternative festivals, the band publishes three albums and is chosen as the supporter of the last OFFSPRING European tour. The brand new album The Last Ones, the third of the series, has been released in September 2005 in Europe, Japan, South Africa and Brazil. Sun Eats Hours has always played a melodic hardcore that develops itself into more rock-sounding melodies.
-Sun Eats Hours is a LIVE band, with more than 250 shows performed. From October 2005 to April 2006 the Sun Eats Hours toured all over Europe and Japan, to support The Last Ones release. The band will be back on tour in October 2006
