MSWHITE Information

MSWHITE hails from Turin, Italy and is the current standout amidst the Italian underground music scene. Formed in 2007 when mutual friends encouraged singer Andrea Arcari and drummer Paolo Canetti to team up, a brash and vibrant band was formed. Once guitarists Luca Cavaglià and Davide Neri Cagliero joined the fold, the band began working hard on writing songs and booking gigs. Managing school, jobs, and band duties, the members of MSWHITE never doubted in their commitment to create fierce and blistering music. And after recording a single to post online the world took notice. Gigs were booked around Italy and after two tours, the band headed to Fusix Studio to record 3 brand new tracks. Those songs attracted the attention of The Artery Foundation, a company that manages such genre-defining bands as Attack Attack!, Dance Gavin Dance, The Devil Wears Prada, and Emarosa. For a year and a half The Artery Foundation kept close tabs on the band carefully watching to see how it developed. During that time the group toured Italy and Europe nonstop, even playing major European festival Horrorfest in Belgium. An LP was in the works when Dave Shapiro of The Agency Group contacted the band and made them an offer they couldn’t refuse, signing them to his new label Velocity Records, in conjunction with Rise Records. The band spent May and June 2010 working in the studio on new songs with producer Andrea Fusini. Squares, the band’s debut album was released on September 28, 2010. The band relocated to Tampa, FL and toured the US.
