The history of Sinclear starts just outside Novara (Italy) during the fall of 1999. The band started as 4-piece band, with Giorgio Ferrari on guitar, Luca Pagani on bass, Giovanni Tizzoni on drums and Anna Santoro as the lead singer.
The band immediately starts working on original songs, and in December 2001 records their first DI.Y. demo called “Via di Qua” (Away from Here): seven simple and melodic punk rock tunes whose recording took only 2 days. The demo was recorded by Diego Ruvidotti at DR Studio in Milan. All the copies of the record are sold out during the 2002 live shows, when Sinclear start playing all over Northern Italy.
In 2004 the band records, with Franco Fucili, their second demo EP, “Melodiazepam” and they start hitting the road and playing frequently as opening acts for well known Italian punk bands (such as Bambole di Pezza, Thee S.T.P., Sun Eats Hours, Pornoriviste…) During that same year the band becomes a 5-piece band by adding a second guitar (Mirko Valli). The songs get a more defined and powerful sound, without compromising on the melodic attitude.
Between the end of ’04 and the beginning of ’05 Sinclear enter Sonichrome studio to record their third demo, whose release is supported with an intense live activity for the whole 2005.
An important line-up change marks the end of 2006: Anna leaves the band and Cristian Di Leo becomes the lead singer. This gives the band new strength and Sinclear, in June 2007, are back at the Sonichrome Studio with Diego Cattaneo to record “Eat At Chef Sinclear”: eight fast, powerful and straight-forward songs. The band’s work is warmly welcomed by the music sector and by the audience. The 2007-2008 season is characterized by an intense live activity throughout Italy and Switzerland. At the end of 2008, in collaboration with the Italian writer Enrico Brizzi (Jack Frusciante has left the Band) and Occhi Aperti, the band shots their first videoclip, 1984; on top of that, the band builds a small recording studio where they start working on the new songs that will end up in a promo cd for the music industry, which is “rewarded” with the attention of important actors of the sector.
After the release of “Nothing Ever Happens” in March 2010, with the help of a new management, the band play around 20 shows in various Italian clubs, followed by a good response of the critics on music magazines and websites.
At the end of the summer Mirko leaves the band and Marco Santagostino takes his place. This change, once again, pushes the band with renewed energy towards writing new material for their upcoming album. In April 2011, Sinclear are among the 10 bands selected (out of more than 600) for the finals of the Macbeth Contest and play on Macbeth Stage @ Groezrock, one the world’s most important punk festival that takes place every year in Meerhout, Belgium.
