Space is the title of the debut album by Hand On Heart, a band formed in Montecatini Terme (PT) in 2017 and dedicated to hard rock, but far from being beginners, considering the previous and current experiences of its members.

Alessandro Moschini and Sergio Leonetti played in the 80s with G.L.A.S., authors of an EP entitled Audax Vincit, Moschini also played in H.A.R.E.M., a band led by Freddy Delirio – the keyboardist of Death SS – and in Charisma, a hard rock project with lyrics in Italian founded together with Matteo Panichi, drummer of Damn Freaks. Sergio Leonetti has also been part of the Ontario lineup for many years, a Tuscan country pop/rock band with three albums to their credit. Finally, Niccoli and Moschini are also members of the acoustic duo Coffee & Flowers, a musical reality with two albums in their curriculum. English guitarist Christian Evans, in Italy since 1998, has played in various local bands.

From Space, a work with its feet firmly planted in the hard rock that established itself between the Seventies and Eighties thanks to groups such as Van Halen, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, Kiss, Whitesnake and Bon Jovi (who are thus considered among the major influences of the music branded Hand On Heart), the single Roses has already been taken. A refined taste of what you will find in this new, exciting release by Metal Zone Italia. The song won third place in the winter edition of the international World Songwriting Awards, coming in ahead of artists who have received Grammy nominations and the band has recently become a member of ISSA (International, Singer-Songwriters Association), an organization based in Atlanta, in the U.S.A. But if you really want to know what you will find listening to Space, Alessandro Moschini’s words are the best presentation:

“We grew up with the hard rock of the 80s, with the Los Angeles scene. We are sick of AOR and hard rock of that period. Our album is made from the heart and speaks that language. We are not interested in following the fashion of the moment, we only play the music we love”.
