400Colpi formed in Rome in 1999, taking their name from François Truffaut's film about a troubled teenager. The band's early years involved some struggle to find their footing, but they kept at it. Their 2008 album 'Fiore di Cera' brought wider attention, with the single 'Effetto Domino' becoming particularly well-known in Italy.
The group includes singer-songwriter Federico Fiumani, guitarist Nicola Manzan, bassist Peppe Vessicchio, and drummer Marco Carusio. They work collaboratively on their material, which often pairs poetic lyrics with melodic arrangements. Songs like 'Neve' and 'Tempi Moderni' show their range, from more reflective tracks to those with a sharper edge.
Over time, 400Colpi has released several albums, including 'La Differenza' in 2005, 'Eppur Continuo' in 2012, and 'Dieci' in 2019. Their music has appeared in some films and television shows, and they've worked with other Italian artists like Caparezza and Marlene Kuntz. They've maintained a steady presence, touring and recording without much fanfare about their place in the scene.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
