K-AGAIN BIO
October 1998... The band was officially founded in Milan (Italy), stemming from the ashes of different bands and emerging as a crew destined to send shockwaves throughout the local music scene.

1999… k-again unleashed their first demo "Fake Friends" in 1999, to a flurry of critical acclaim & financial success. However, it was with the band's trademark signature of devastating live performances that first attracted k-again's now growing legion of fans. The band's undeniable presence did not go unnoticed by labels either, as later in the summer of 1999, k-again struck a deal with Evident Records (a small label based in Milan, Italy), and began work on their full-length debut album "goodbye". Before the band begin the recording sessions Da Matt quit the band and he's quickly replaced by Edge and added Cili as a dj.

2001… the band signed with italian label 2KKrecords and released the long awaited "revisited" version of their debut album "goodbye" on March 15th, followed by a sold-out showcase at the Rolling Stone Club and an italian tour. Cili (dj) quit the band. In the same year, the band was also selected by Shoutweb (a U.S. webzine), as one of five nominees for the "Unsigned Band Competition", which was awarded to 5-LINE LEGACY (Canada)...k-again was not far behind. During the summer and after a massive northern Italian tour the band amicable parted ways with Edge, LT and Tambu but the big chance for their lives arrives... they were invited for the "Locobazooka 2001 Festival" (a massive festival that took place every year in the Boston area) in Worcester, MA (U.S.A.) with acts like DISTURBED, NONPOINT, ROLLINS BAND, PUYA, GODHEAD, KITTIE, SWITCHED, BIOHAZARD and other local bands.

2002… The line up traveled to legendary Fear Studios in Ravenna (Italy) to record three songs for a new EP titled "ultraVIOLENCE" which represents a change of musical direction for the band with more metal and hardcore influences but stray away from the sound of the beginning. Before the shows began guitarist Lenny quit the band and they continued as a four piece band and after a few months playing shows across northern Italy they saw the departure of drummer Sig. The guys introduced Dany as their new drummer. They shooted two videos. The first one is "Twins Of Blood" which received a good airplay on an Italian rock tv channel "RockTV" and the second one "My Time"…both songs are taken from the EP "ultraVIOLENCE"

2003… They recorded a new "home-made" EP titled "ultraVIOLENCE EXTENDED". They pressed a few copies as volume 2 for the EP "ultraVIOLENCE". After a lot of shows finally in August something changed in their career...they travelled to Hollywood (CA, U.S.A.) to record a new effort with Logan Mader (former member of Machine Head, Soulfly, Medication and Stereo Black). That experience was very important for the band because they learned a lot of things...they were in L.A.!!!

2004… After a lot of rehearsals that forced the band to stay far away from the stages at the beginning of that year they kicked off the "Hate Is Now The Only Answer Tour" that took place in Italy but also for the first time sees the guys play in other european countries like Switzerland and Holland in different times between January and May. They launched their official streetteam with Brice (a cool guy from France) that offered his help for the band). Due to his work the name of the band is quickly spreaded across other european countries and a lot of fans began to be part of this army…the k-soldiers. The guys inked two deals with two clothing company from U.S.A.: Dirtbag Clothing and Funeral Clothing. Finally in September they released their much anticipated EP produced by Logan Mader through 2KKrecords: "Memories Of An Evolution". The whole band decided that the time for relocate themselves in Los Angeles was arrived. It was a decision matured during through these years. They decided to stay there for three months and for that they quit jobs, spent money, energy and time just to go there and try to do something. Over there they linked a deal with Ignition Productions (a U.S. management from L.A.). It was a dream come true for the whole band .

2005... The band began the year playing across different countries in Europe such as Italy, Netherlands, France, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Belgium having the honor to share the stage with different bands and reaching the chance to play for the first time ever in a big festival in Belgium called “Durbuy Rock Fest” with acts like Napalm Death, Caliban, Born From Pain, As We Fight and many others. During the summer the band inked a deal with Underscore Lab/Musicast (a French record label) for the release of their 2003 effort “Memories Of An Evolution” in France only. Time has passed since the writing process for that ep and the guys keep on continue evolving themselves musically writing a lot of new stuff for their official second record. Other shows are planned for the “Hate Is Now The Only Answer Tour” across Europe… BE READY!!!
