imone Romizi (singer, guitarist, drummer), Alessio Mingoli (drummer), Jacopo Gigliotti (bassist) and Alessandro Guercini (guitarist) started playing and writing songs together in 2008 when they took their first steps in the clubs of their region.
Thanks to the energy of their first concerts, the group (who chose the name FAST ANIMALS AND SLOW KIDS in reference to a gag from Family Guy) was hired as an opening act by national and international groups passing through their city of Perugia.
In 2010, To Lose la Track released their first EP "Questo è un cioccolatino", which was well received by music magazines.
Thanks to winning the Italy Wave Love Sound Contest and the first concerts outside the regional borders, their name began to shoot in the Italian underground and in 2011 they released the first album "Cavalli", consisting of 11 post-punk songs with wicked lyrics and incisive rhythms. The album was the group's pretext to intensify their live activities, which are still the soul of the group today.
Two years after the first album, the band released the second album "Hybris" (Woodworm, 2013), which showed a much more mature group compared to the previous work: the sound became richer and the lyrics touched on universal themes in a very personal way, referring to the real experience of being part of a band. The first song of the album, "A cosa ci serve", was voted song of the year by the readers and editors of the Rockit website and the album was also number one in the readers' poll of La Repubblica XL.
During the tour that followed the release of "Hybris", FASK composed the third album "Alaska" (Woodworm, 2014), which expanded on the insights of the previous work, making their lyrics existentialist and their sound personal.
The last date of the tour of "Alaska" recorded a sold out of over three thousand people at Alcatraz in Milan and in fact Fast Animals & Slow Kids began one of the first Italian indie band to record sold out in this place.
After a short break, the band wrote the fourth album "Forse non è la felicità" (Woodworm), which was released in February 2017. The album received excellent reviews and made FASK one of the most important names in Italian underground rock.
2019 was the year of sonic breakthrough and recognition by the general public. Matteo Cantaluppi recorded and produced their fifth album "Animali Notturni", which was released by Warner Music Italia.
The subsequent tour, which opened with a performance at the Primo Maggio concert in Rome, recorded a total of fifty thousand performances and gave the band a new and unexpected popularity.
The outbreak of the pandemic forced Aimone Romizi, Alessio Mingoli, Jacopo Gigliotti and Alessandro Guercini to revise the plans and all concerts were canceled.
During this time, "Come Conchiglie" was released, a song that was written and recorded at home during the first lockdown. But that's not all.
2020 was the year in which FASK tried their hand in a different field by publishing the graphic novel "Come reagire al presente" (Beccogiallo) in October, a project that proved to be a great success with the public and critics.
The year 2021 began with the release of the song "Come un animale" (https://youtu.be/GEoZUNwiNZs), followed in April by "Cosa ci direbbe", the first featuring of FASK, who collaborated with another artist, his friend and colleague Willie Peyote. In June, FASK released "Senza deluderti", which was like an anticipation of the band's first acoustic tour, called "Dammi Più tempo - Acoustic Tour tour".
In September 2021, FASK and Matteo Cantaluppi produced "È già domani", which reached number 5 in the official Italian ranking and number 2 in the vinyl ranking. The official Italian ranking shows that the band has taken another step forward not only lyrically, but also in terms of songwriting and production.
2022 was the year of the real return to the stage, without pandemic-related restrictions and with an audience that could finally jump and scream under the stage again.
The occasion was important and was celebrated with a new song entitled "Vita sperduta", which was sung live during the spring installment of the "È GIÀ DOMANI TOUR" (sold-out concerts in several cities such as Bologna, Padua, Florence, Turin, Rome and Milan). The summer offered the opportunity to continue the conquest of the peninsula with the "È già domani ora - TOUR", which ended on September 17th and brought Aimone, Alessandro, Alessio and Jacopo to their hometown of Perugia. The day before, FASK released "Il tempo è una bugia" with the extraordinary participation of LUCIANO LIGABUE.
In March 2023, FASK landed for the first time in the most important Italian theaters with "Una notte con FAST ANIMALS AND SLOW KIDS - Concerto in quattro atti per piccola orchestra da camera", in which they were joined by a small chamber orchestra of six elements.
Following the success of this new experience in July, FASK performed at the Ravenna Festival and at the Cividale del Friuli Middle Festival for two unique concerts with thirty elements of the Orchestra Corelli conducted by Maestro Carmelo Emanuele Patti. These concerts were recorded and released as "FASK Dal vivo - con orchestra", available as double vinyl, double CD and digital album.
