Florence is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture; it’s also home to Indie Punk Rockers Spleen, best described as a melting pot of grunge, punk, and melodious expression.

Founded in June 2019, as ‘Big Breast on Fat Boys’ (Name changed to ‘Spleen’ Jan 2024) the rock ‘n’ roll high school three piece of Samuele Riccucci (guitar and vocals), Matteo Innocenti (drums), and Olmo Fantini (guitar) played a series of live performances around Florence, which over time built the band a solid fan base.
Whenever people discuss the beauty of Italy they often jump straight to the groundbreaking architecture, beautiful scenery or legendary artwork. More time should be given to the burgeoning punk rock scene and bands like Spleen.
If one thing is abundantly clear about this band, their sound feels fresh and exciting. Complete with nods to their musical educations, of which Queens of the Stone Age and Nirvana have to be present, Spleen are setting their sights high with a debut release of this calibre.
