Måneskin is a young and dynamic Italian group that shakes the world and offers us a new world with its songs. Let's get to know this group better, whose audience gets “intoxicated” with songs they composed themselves and have literary, emotional, and sometimes rebellious words.
Måneskin is an Italian glam rock band formed in Rome in 2016. The band is composed of vocalist Damiano David, bassist Victoria De Angelis, guitarist Thomas Raggi, and drummer Ethan Torchio. Performing in the streets in their early days, they rose to prominence after finishing second in the eleventh season of the Italian talent show X Factor in 2017. Their international breakthrough ensued when the foursome won the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 for Italy with the song "Zitti e buoni".
According to Damiano David, the group is "a translation of the music of the past into modernity". Måneskin's music has been classified as pop-rock, alternative rock, glam rock, and hard rock. Their music style changed from a pop-rock sound with funk influences in their first studio album to hard rock in their second studio album, as seen in "Zitti e buoni". Their look and sound have been compared to '70s rock music.
The band members have cited various musical and fashion influences, including Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, Perry Farrell, Radiohead, Franz Ferdinand, David Bowie, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Gentle Giant, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Arctic Monkeys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Harry Styles, Bruno Mars, R.E.M. and Italian rock bands Marlene Kuntz, Verdena and Afterhours.
