Drink To Me is a band from Torino, Italy.

Active since 2002. They released four D.I.Y. EPs, then the official debut album (“Don’t Panic, Go Organic!”, 2008) on Midfinger records, recorded in London and mixed by Andy Savours (Blonde Redhead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, The Horrors and many others.

After playing all over Italy and having received enthusiastic acclaim finally Drink To Me landed on UNHIP records, Italy’s finest independent label in ages. Brazil, the new album, marks a change in their sound and songwriting. They have grown for good. Brazil puts the rock matrix in the background, while the electronic side takes over and the writing focuses on kraut-minimalist repetition and a rhythm section that takes from Brazil as well as West Africa. They didn’t forget about the pop song kind of structure though! Drink To Me is devoted to the real challenge of reconciling madness and experimentation with pop songs.

Alessio Natalizia (Banjo or Freakout, Disco Drive) produced most of the tracks on the album, and also co-wrote a couple of them. The album was then recorded by Davide Tomat and mixed by Bruno Germano (one of the most popular producers among the Italian underground scene). It was then mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago (Touch & Go, Sub Pop, Kill Rock Stars, Jagjaguwar…).

One of the best Italian bands” (Rolling Stone Magazine Italy)
