Biography

Hungryheart was born in the late '90s thanks to the meeting between Josh Zighetti (vocals) and Mario Percudani (guitar). The band begins its journey delivering a mix of Hard Rock and AOR covers, featuring the influences that will give life to their first work in the studio. The first "Hungryheart" album was released in 2008 winning excellent reviews from the international press being voted as one of the ten best Hard Rock albums by the Canadian magazine "Sleazy Roxx Magazine". Two years later, in 2010, the band releases its second album "One ticket to Paradise", with a further change of line-up, as Paolo Botteschi becomes the new drummer. The album takes a new direction, more AOR than the first, creating a mix of power and sweetness in the arrangements, traits which will outline the trademark of their sound. The Tour of the second album allows Hungryheart to perform in various Italian and foreign clubs (Holland, Germany, Switzerland and Greece), and to share the stage with great artists from the international rock scene like Mitch Malloy, Quireboys, Michael Bormann and House Of Lords. After a further change of lineup, with the arrival of Stefano Scola (bass-guitar), the band releases the third album "Dirty Italian Job"( June 2015) which represents a real maturation as per songwriting and sound, making Hungryheart one of the most representative bands of the Italian melodic Hard Rock scene.
