Still Eighteen Shares New Single “Piazza Cavour”

After the release of their debut EP (“Bullets to Dust”, 2016) and several singles (“You Hit Me Like a Drug” and the accompanying music video went viral on Facebook with thousands of shares and over 1,000,000 views), canadian alternative rock band Still Eighteen come back with a song inspired by a trip in Italy: “Piazza Cavour”.

Still Eighteen is a distinctive band, formed by former Platinum Blonde and Trixie Goes Hollywood singer and guitar player Joey along with his wife Karen on drums and their daughter Samantha (co-lead singer and bass player).
Somebody said that their music is like if David Bowie meets Pixies.

Chosen from thousands of bands to perform live at Roxodus music festival with Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Kid Rock, Billy Idol and other legends, Still Eighteen are non-conformists and questioners of the status quo: their songs tackle topics like war, greed, poverty, and environmental degradation.

“Piazza Cavour”, their new single, is a song where Led Zeppelin’s hard rock meets italian history, bringing us to a time where women were hanged and burned to death for witchcraft.

In my research, I discovered that in Piazza Cavour, in Bormio, witch trials had taken place throughout the 16th to 18th centuries. I had stood in the very place where the accused met their horrific fate. We went to the church of San Gallo and walked about the “Fields of Justice” where the women were “hung in the gallows”. I felt that these women had entrusted me with their unthinkable history and were urging me to tell their story

.
The bond between Still Eighteen and Italy is strong, so much that they has had the pleasure of performing in Italy for several years, headlining live club such as Legend Club (Milano), Hard Rock Café (Firenze) and Mattorosso.
We are so sad that we had to cancel our European tour for early 2022 due to Covid travel restrictions. We were so excited to perform “Piazza Cavour” live for Italian audiences! The good news is that we are working on organizing a European tour instead for the summer of 2022.
