In addition, the first three band ranked will have the opportunity to play on the main stage of the YEPP Music Festival scheduled at Loano on June 14.
And here is some information about the groups that will compete on Saturday night.
The “Crimson Roses” was born in the spring of 2011 in Savona, from the idea of singer and guitarist Eleonora Pulcini, aka Ele Wild Flower, and bassist Aurora Lessi to create a female Hard Rock band, hence the interest in the project of drummer Matilde Chizzola, aka Addie Row, who immediately joined.
After some time preparing a small repertoire of covers, the three female musicians began auditioning to find a lead guitarist. But the band's idea of an all-female quartet faded and Bruno Bogliolo, aka Willy Rock, joined the group. Only one month after Willy Rock joined the line-up, the band decided to record a “Demo Tape” of their first unreleased song entitled “Run Away.”.
After the release in 2012 of the first self-produced Ep “THE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL MACHINE” with 4 unreleased tracks in the playlist, the band has expanded its audience through the dissemination on the internet of the tracks, listenable for free on all major platforms (Facebook, MySpace, ReverbNation, SoundCloud etc.), thus making itself known in the “Underground” scene of Italian Rock/Metal. Arrived in 2013, after a year from the release of the first Ep the band returned to the studio and record the second Ep entitled “BEYOND TIME AND REALITY”, 4 more tracks that underline the stylistic growth of the band and begin to give a clear vision of how the band's own style is shaping and defining itself over time.

Formed as a “game” by Andrea Micaroni, guitar and vocals, and Denis Migliori, bass and vocals, the 25 Degrees (former Uscite Di Sicurezza), a punk trio from Ponente Ligure, with the arrival of Matteo Pastorello, drums and vocals, begin to come out of the rehearsal room in 2011 with the first concerts among friends. Playing around here and there in the province they have the opportunity, through numerous contests and events, to play with bands such as Bermudas and Sfregio collecting about 20 live appearances.
During this period they produced their first unreleased songs that were released with their first demo ‘UDS?’ in early 2012 and, with much more driven and original repertoire, continued their live and studio activities.
With their genre constantly evolving their songs have sounds from the punk rock of the Ramones and Green Day to the melodic hardcore punk of NOFX and Rise Against passing by influences from the Italian scene such as those of Prozac+ and Skruigners. Following in the footsteps of the previous year in late 2012 they release their first single ‘Instabile’ through the compilation All You Need is Punk Vol. III.
On November 25, 2013 they released their first official video ‘Lacanzonedelcane’ anticipating the release of their first EP ‘HAVE A NICE DAY’ produced by Santa Prod. multimedia containing 7 unreleased tracks and available on all digital platforms.
