You, the reader, are a big fan of classic bands. We know! That doesn't mean that some names from the younger generation don't deserve special attention, especially when a name like Måneskin has opened the doors for a new entry of rock into the mainstream (even if you're not going to buy their vinyl and listen to it until it's scratched).
Here at Wikimetal , we try to encourage our audience to keep an eye out for new names in heavy music, whether through our National Pride or the dozens of artists we bring to you every week through our discoveries on Groover.
Among so many options to choose from, one that stood out was the Italian hard rock quartet, Måneskin. The band caught the attention of the international scene after winning EuroVision in 2021 and achieved particular success among young people and users of the digital platform TikTok with the hit “Beggin'”.
What some people don't know is that "Beggin'" is a cover of The Four Seasons , performed by the band back in 2017 when they participated in The X Factor Italy . And although many insist that they are a "one-hit wonder," this comment ultimately reflects more ignorance on the part of those who repeat it than a reflection of the band's work itself.
Måneskin has two studio albums: Il ballo della vita (2018) and Teatro d'Ira (2021). Although the first is not very remarkable, the second is quite interesting, better structured, and shows a quartet with more confidence in their musical identity and a more mature dynamic – and all the songs on the album were recorded live, with no strings attached.
Check out 5 completely original songs by Måneskin to learn before the band's shows in Brazil – and to prove why they are a name worth paying attention to:
1. ZITTI E BUONI
2. LIVIDI SUI GOMITI
3. IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
4. LA PAURA DEL BUIO
5. CORALINE
